Good Eatin' for CFB Season

[Mikey]

Get a life.
Oh wait, this is your life.

[SunCoastSooner]

I rarely find time to more than just browse here in my life anymore but I just had to let you know just how sad this really is. Is there anything in your life with any consequence other than Bama football?

[Carson]

I wouldn't use that thing for my cat's shitbox.

What's a lot funnier, is how you fell off the face of the earth after all of your wonderful predictions from last season. I don't blame you. I would have done the same, except I would have stayed gone.

My falling off the face of the planet had much more to do with my girlfriend moving in with me, starting a new second business that takes up much of our time, and investing in a third business. Not to mention we have been doing a great deal of travel the last few months. I do believe there are enough posters here on my social media that can pretty well vouch for this as well. The only reason I even thought to check in at this place even today was because skull messaged me through another medium and it made me wonder what was going on at this hot dog stand.

Why did you do that?

Rack Sam.

[SunCoastSooner]

Just fucking with you, dude. Hope you're doing okay.

I'm doing quite well. We just got my house sold and are moving into an apartment for a short time while we debate on building a new home on 30A or buying a newer existing home on Indian Bayou. Second business is starting to turn a profit and my significant other's jewelry business is really starting to tack off.

Yeah, someone sends me something humorous, I post it in here, and that equates to my life revolving around Alabama football.

I don't ride my bike, spend time with my kids and grandchild, eat out, see movies, listen to music, work a couple days a week, etc. Nope, according to your stupid comment, all I do is watch and think about Alabama football. I may be in here 20 minutes a day...and yep, I might post something about the Tide. Isn't that what this forum is for? For us to discuss CFB and screw with each other?

Look, you disappeared after Oklahoma was manhandled by Texas A&M. That's a fact...and you're a pussy for not giving credit where credit was due. You ran your mouth the entire season and then, when your Sooners were blown off the field, you quit posting.

Fuck off. I have a great life. I have more freedom to do what I want than 95% of the world.

Yes, I do love college football. I thought this forum was for people who felt the same way. Hell, I watched the 2nd half of the LSU-Mississippi football game last night. No baseball was played, so why not?

You are probably far more obsessed with your Sooners than I am the Tide. It means less and less to me as I grow older.

Post something unusual about your team sometime. Like maybe a story about a win in a bowl game.

Please, I didn't disappear after aTm manhandled us (not too much unlike they manhandled you as well). I hadn't posted in at least a week prior to the game because I was out of town and my post frequency had significantly dropped of more than a year before that. Beyond that I went into the game expecting to lose because our secondary couldn't contain a high school team last year and got burned more than your wife does dinner.

I'm so obsessed with my Sooners that the majority of my posts revolve around conference strength and top 25 match ups during the season where as I am hard pressed to find any posts by you that don't revolve around Bama or the SEC.

Lets not pat yourself on the back too much for your twenty minutes you spend on the board a day considering there is only about ten minutes worth of material to read here on the forum on any given day. The other ten minutes must be spent bloviating on your new casserole dish to cook Nick Saban cock molds in.

Post something unusual about my team . . . here goes one for ya, we fucking own Alabama heads up. Sit on that one and spin old man.

my girlfriend moving in with me

Why did you do that?

She makes me happy and we have plans for our future. Same reason any two people start living together.

SCS mayb have posted some shit, but no one Sooner thought this was a great Sooner team. not top 5, we lost at home to both the good teams we played, ND and KSU. two home losses under Stoops don't happen really. late wins against Baylor, WVU, and *at home* to the Pokes were fun....but not making anyone believe Jones, no run game, and a mediocre D are going to beat ATM.

Sam, that bowl game poke ain't really fair.

you'd rather play for it and lose than win a shit M2 bowl, eh?

Stoops has a decent record in crap bowl games....if you want to look it up.

and i liked Landry but he wasn't Sam Bradford or Josh Heupel or Jason White....so, you take what you can....and don't bash the kid on message boards. homer boards are a bitch. SCS didn't do this...i'm just thinking out loud.

I wasn't a Landry fan, he shit the bed in a lot in pressure situations. He was great when there was no real competition but when the heat was on he typically folded like a lawn chair. I didn't run off the mouth about it like some other fans because it was just a pointless revolving argument because of his statistics he amassed against sub-par competition.

The running game was pretty shitty because Heupel refused to use Finch as a change of pace back despite every time he touched the rock it was like electricity on the field and how Millard only got two or three touches a game in an actually running attempt (other than against Texas where he pretty well put on a clinic and created a season's worth of highlights in just three quarters) is completely beyond me.

Our linebackers being glorified Strong safeties didn't help on defense much either. Any Sooner that thought we were the favorites heading into A&M were delusional with Crimson shades on and I said as much before the game over on Landthieves where I got blasted for doing so. Kish needs a little bit more quantity at the LB positions but at least the guys he are bringing in aren't glorified munchkins for the position like his predecessor was recruiting.

I really like the new hires on the staff this offseason as well. So fucking thankful to See Patton gone from coaching the offensive line I can't even put it into words. Our problems in the running game haven't been from lack of talent in the backfield but from the fact that our Oline couldn't block a group of little girls in running formations.

Nobody gives a shit how busy you are. Just because you don't have time to post doesn't mean you have to be such a humorless self-important dickbag.

Isn't this like your third marriage? Or am I getting you confused with Sam?

[Screw_Michigan]

At least they're getting laid. You haven't even graduated to your first washer & dryer yet.

I forgot, you're a two-time loser yourself.

That's Sam, and I think he is on his forth . . . you know, because he is so successful in his fulfilling life.

I'm not married and only been married once. Did so too young and learned from my mistake. I've been with the same woman for a long time now though.

[SunCoastSooner]

Please, I didn't disappear after aTm manhandled us (not too much unlike they manhandled you as well).

Bama vs A&M: 3 Tide turnovers. Bama had the ball at goalline with chance to win game after horrendous 1st quarter. Bama outgained the Aggies 431 to 418. Alabama lost, 29-24.

OU vs A&M: Aggies had 633 total yards to OU's 401. 633 yards!!! OU lost, 41-13.

Not too much unlike the way Texas A&M "manhandled"Alabama?

got burned more than your wife does dinner.

My wife (#3 BTW) may be the best cook on earth. See her weight gain over past year for evidence.

your new casserole dish to cook Nick Saban cock molds in.

As far as I know, those dishes don't exist. I assume someone Photoshopped that. But, if you come across one, it would certainly be a nice housewarming gift you could send me.

Post something unusual about my team . . . here goes one for ya, we fucking own Alabama heads up. Sit on that one and spin old man.

A 2-1-1 record is owning the Tide? Okay. You got me there.

I was at the 2003 game. Y'all got us with a fake punt (right in front of me!) when Bama was starting to gain momentum. We lost, 20-13. I think you were ranked #1 and Bama was in the midst of probation-induced mediocrity.

The thing I recall most about that day was the great respect the OU fans and UA fans exhibited for one another. I'd always liked Oklahoma and that just cemented my liking them...in spite of fans like you.

I think you're the first dumb fuck to ever come on a message board andf brag about two failed marriages and fat hog for a wife. Congrats?

Nice revisionist history about the 2003 game. Oklahoma put up 455 yards of offense in that game and the only thing that kept Bama in it were penalties. Bama on probation? Is this supposed to be some sort of revelation? Throw a dart at a piece of paper with each bama season and you have about equal odds of hitting a year they were on probation; but you're not the most penalized program in NCAA history for no reason now are ya.

Funny, I think the same thing about Bama despite fans like you . . . the difference is you're a "fan" and I'm an alumnus. My affiliation to OU isn't from buying a Tshirt at Walmart like your affiliation with Bama.

[SunCoastSooner]

Looks like the SEC jealousy is still getting the better of SCS. Too bad.

You gotta admit, him being in Destin, he probably gets so fed up with SEC shit he could puke daily.

Very true. He's getting Florida, FSU, UGA, Auburn & 'Bama - with probably a little Ole Miss & MSU to boot. Not exactly an Oklahoma spot...

There are more OU than Ole Miss and Miss State people out here, or at least more of us who admit to being OU than there of them who admit to being MooU and MissStake. OU actually has a pretty large alumni association here. The only alumni associations that I have seen gather out here that are larger than the Oklahoma association are FU, FSU, Bama, Allbarn, and LSU; the Georgia, Tennessee, and Wisconsin (yeah Wisconsin) are about the same size believe it or not.

As for OU's violations, a lot of those are from the late 40s and 50s. I am pretty proud of what OU did back then. No HS recruit ever received a dime from the slush fund. The only players that got any monetary help were veterans returning from WWII who would have never been able to attend college and take care of their families if not for football and a little bit of "extra" help. Grown men who served our country and stormed Normandy and the University of Oklahoma made it possible for them to get a college education and provide for their children. Most of them weren't even starters.

People bang on OU because of Charles Thompson being on the cover of Sports Illustrated in his orange jump suit in the 80s but that wasn't an NCAA violation. Most people don't even know what the NCAA found as violations; two of the three violations were humanitarian efforts by the staff. In one case a player's father had passed away in California, Switzer fronted the money for a plane ticket home to the funeral, and the family paid him back in installments over a number of months. The second violation the coaching staff had paid for a funeral of a players two year old daughter who had died from cancer. The NCAA did find that two coaches had paid recruits in 1984 and Switzer knew about it and fired both but did not report the incident to the NCAA; one of those two coaches who got canned was a man by the name of Mack Brown (the Oklahoma Offensive Coordinator in '84) maybe you've heard of him.

Nice Oprah moment there. Too bad the premise is false.

We only cheated to help the veterans, and they really didn't factor in to any of our wins.

The Vets didn't need OU's "extra" generosity. FDR signed the GI Bill into law in the summer of 1944. It provided the funds for returning veterans to attend college and to receive a stipend for living expenses. Further, for scholarship athletes the NCAA allowed and still allows vets to keep the monthly stipend and their scholarship. In 1946 40% of college admissions were returning vets. In 1947 49% of college admissions were vets.

Suburbs were created with affordable housing. The VA also guaranteed home loans for the returning vets. Newspapers waived the fees for listing apartments and rooms for rent. For those that didn't want to go to college, job training was provided. The US had gone years without producing most consumer items and jobs were available in the factories that started to churn out these goods instead of the implements of war. For those that couldn't find work, unemployment was available for up to 14 months, but only 20% of the funds set aside for this purpose were ever handed out due to the other programs popularity.

My Grandfather who fought in WWII and drove the landing crafts onto Pacific islands is a relavent example. He married my Grandmother within a month of returning home, entered college which was paid in full by the GI Bill, bought a house with the money my Grandmother earned, and had the first of four kids. He never struggled to "provide for his kids" and did so without a full ride athletic scholarship.

So why exactly are you happy that OU cheated again, and what benefit did these vets get that wasn't already available to them?

The NCAA did find that two coaches had paid recruits in 1984 and Switzer knew about it and fired both but did not report the incident to the NCAA; one of those two coaches who got canned was a man by the name of Mack Brown (the Oklahoma Offensive Coordinator in '84) maybe you've heard of him.

Funny that Switzer doesn't seem to remember firing Mack. In fact when he was interviewed a few years ago after OU sh!t stomped Texas yet again, he was joking about Mack leaving to take the Tulane head job. He was saying the he and T B Pickens had been emailing back and forth about doing whatever they could to keep Mack at Texas so they could keep beating him. As part of that he says "he tried to keep Mack on his staff for '85, but couldn't" and figures he would be even less successful in telling DeLoss to keep Mack today.

The real story is likely one that has been proven time after time. Head coach directs the assistant coaches to distribute said money or illegal benefits. Assistant coaches do as they are told and when the illegal benefits come to light the head coach fires said assistants to look like he is serious about doing things by the book.

Yes, the assistant coaches were wrong for paying the players, but Barry knew exactly what was going on and directed it. OU had a player in the 80's from Alice TX by the name of Sonny Brown. Guy was a local legend and the reason I started following OU back in the day. Dude was the Orange Bowl MVP one season and had a cup of coffee with the Oilers as well. He tells great stories and a few of them include "extra" benefits. Today he manages a few of the wife's and my investments. great guy that credits Barry and OU with getting him focused on his education. But he also admits to the programs "faults."

[SunCoastSooner]

If you had to point a finger at probably the single most dishonest pile of shit that ever coached college football, you'd have to point the finger at Switzer. Guy is a total fucking nutjob.



@ 2:40 is still one of the most awkward moments in sporting history that I've ever seen.

People who say this know about next to nothing about Switzer when they say this. He lived pretty loosely in his personal life but that didn't extend to his coaching career. Switzer was actually very adamantly opposed to offering recruits extra benefits and distanced a number of boosters from the program over the years. One of his most famous recruiting lines that players who both came and did not come to OU quoted him as telling them and their families was "We aren't going to offer you a bag of money or doing anything extra special for you. You can come to Oklahoma and win championships or you can go somewhere else and Oklahoma will still win championships."

Or this:

And Thompson was supposedly one of the good guys!

Thompson wasn't one of the good guys and he later recanted all those stories just as he recanted many of the claims in his book. CT was desperate for money.
