Morning All!!!
Good morning to everyone!
Morning!
BOOMER BOOMER
SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sooner!!!!!
Good Morning Metz———
Mornin.Doc
Good morning TFBERS its 7:34 and texsa SUCKS———
It’s still 7:34 and Texsa still sucks more than taxes.
Morning Metz
Mornin Bleed.
This dang humidity sucks, must have moved up from texsa.
Humid in lubbock,strange times
We got it from Messico and decided to share it with the rest of our Sooner brethren.
Morning Metz. Don’t drop the ball on our OP today, por favor.
Mornin 737
Good morning, metzker!
Mornin,Slim
Good morning Metz. I have a lunch meeting lined up in Canton. Maybe I can summon the OP during this meeting.
Mornin,Matt that would be awesome.
Wondering what others feel about the future of Hughes. Does he continue or get replaced?
I’m not impressed.
I am not either. Third year (I believe), started season ranked high and can not get out of the gates. Finished the regular season fairly strong, but lay major egg in XII championship game.
I say there’s a 40% chance he’s let go. I think they’ll give him 1 more year simply because it’s a young team that started to come together toward the end of the season. That’s my best guess.
Given the amazing the performance of other OU coaches, I think much will depend on how the team does in the B12-2 tournament. My feeling is that he has underperformed.
I’d almost guarantee he gets another year.
Kind of what I was thinking, starting next season it will be “his” guys on the field. No excuses.
Good Morning Brainiacs!
BOOMER!!!
SOONER!!!
There’s only one.
SOONER!!! Morning!
SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Morning! Sooner!
Goood Morning Brainiacs. “It is going to be another great day to be a SOONER”. First off my vote for #99 is going to be C.J. Ah You. Now lets get out there and seize the day. Make the best with what you have.
Good morning to you, 47!
Mornin, Slim!!!
Mornin 47
Mornin, Metz!!!!
Good morning to all! Just a friendly PSA to loudly support your Sooners and vehemently oppose Texsa at any chance you have
Mornin,76
Morning Metz!
Morning 76. I do my part on both
Mornin Dave
Mornin Metz
Morning Dave. Glad to hear it!
For those of us over 50 a friendly PSA is a much different thing.
My PSA didn’t turn out so well a couple of years ago, lost my prostate and now the PSA is great.
You are a survivor! Congrats.
So far so good!
Also, whatever you think about Fox sports, they’ve been significantly more outspoken on the Baylor situation than ESPN. Good for them.
Morning all!
Mornin, Pimp
It’s 3:53 pm in East Africa. Can someone please tell me the current condition of that program known as Texsa?
They’re still sucking last i seen!!!!
Now there’s a news report I can believe!
Heard it from one of the Poke fans here at work. I guess they wooped up on them last night is what rumor has it!!! Lots of people here for the tournament, literally less than a block from the Ballpark!!!
Same as East Africa! SUCKKKKKS. The only difference is there are lots of good people living in East Africa!
Good morning from the east coast. TCU will exceed expectations. Briles will survive filling his teams with known criminals. The BIG12 will not expand and the LHN and the 14 people who watch it will survive. Texas sucks. That is all.
Mornin, Framoka. 14 that seems like a lot!!!
that’s annually, not simultaneously.
Now that makes a little more sense!!!
Texsa SUCKSSSSS.
INDEED!!
Texsa’s suck is so strong, it makes an F5 tornado feel like a warm summer breeze
Excellent assessment of facts.
100 DTG!!! Tomorrow starts the double digit count down. I have been looking forward to getting this thing started. BOOMER!!!
Long video, but sure is awesome reliving the moments.
https://youtu.be/sqK9a_zox4c?list=PLp9J4fd54X4B0_eGd3sImf2l2mCvpfzAG
Now is it not 99 Days and 15 hours from today?
Now thats micro management.
Lol, we had that conversation last year. I originally started my countdown on this logic. Needless to say, after much discussion, I tuned my logic to meet the masses.
Enjoyed your countdown last year and looking forward to another w/ great Sooners past and present. Let the counting begin and the counting of the numbers shall commence w/ 99.
https://days.to/until/3-september
SOONER!!!!!!!!!!!!
That video was so awesome! Thanx for sharing. Jump started my day.
SOONER!!! Stoops, man. Good stuff any day.
Morning all
Morning, dave! Boomer!
SOONER! Morning Slim
Some of these kids just don’t believe in themselves, so they decide to commit to Stillwater. I feel bad for ’em.
Good morning TFBERS, it’s 8:13……….Hook’em
texsa sucks———-
Hooker? What Hooker?
I think he’s a fan of that old Shatner series? T.J. Hooker? Something like that. I gotta give it up to a Shatner fanboy! Not because I’m one … not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Boston Legal is one of my favorite re runs.
Hooker? In my world, the word used is not hooker, it is “Lot Lizard”. In Texsa is called Whorns.

Don’t drink the Orange Kool aid.
Isn’t that made from the yellow snow?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLIppgE45wM
Makes me think of dynamo hum!
Everytime I hear “Hook’em” I think to my past days as a butcher “Hook’em” slabs of quality beef to get butcherd up for BBQ beef ribs
When I see Bevo I want to eat him.
Oh and Texsa Sucks!!
One of the biggest things I miss about not living in Oklahoma is beef ribs.
So good…
I talked myself into making some this weekend
You’re a lucky dog. I have trouble even finding beef ribs to make here in Alabama. Funny thing, my guard unit did a summer camp at Fort Bliss. These Alabama boys couldn’t get enough of those beef ribs.
How do you fix yours?
1) Spice dry rub marinade for 8-10 hours
2) 250 degrees Apple wood smoke for 6-1/2 hours
With apple juice spray
3) Arthur Bryant’s sauce lather
1) 8-10 hour marinade dry rub
2) 250 6-61/2 hours with apple wood and apple spray
3) Lather Arthur Bryants bbq sauce
Appreciate your sharing that. Now if it wasn’t a 12 hour drive, I’d stop by this weekend.
Lol.
Been going at it all morning long.
Got my tenderloin finished.
Beef ribs are almost there
” Can Rookie OC , QB save Charlie Strong at Texas? ” No , it’s 8:15 and Texsa sucks and Baylor is scum.
Good morning, all!! Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend and all remember to honor those who have given their lives for our freedom.
Mornin J.r. indeed sir
Good morning, Metz!!
Morning J.r.! Enjoy your Memorial Day too!
Thanks, Magic. You too, brother!
Absolutely. Never ever forget.
Hadn’t spent much time thinking about divisions, if the Big XII expanded, but, from Stewart Mandel, in the story above…
Hi Stewart. Let’s suppose that the Big 12 does add two teams. Aren’t we overlooking the fact that it would probably have to put Texas and OU in opposite divisions to balance out the conference? How would you create the divisions in a hypothetical 12-team Big 12 conference?
— James G., Gilroy, CA
Jeez, there’s next year’s Big 12 existential crisis. Should the conference put both in the same division, thus preserving the rivalry but in doing so, risk potential long-term imbalance? Or put them in opposite divisions, thus requiring permanent crossover opponents and risking a conference title game rematch?
The Big Ten went through this a few years ago, initially separating Ohio State and Michigan in its confusing and universally panned setup. Now they’re back together in the more straightforward East and West divisions, and while the East is indisputably tougher than the West, the earth is still spinning on its axis.
The problem here is, if you group the teams along the same lines as the Big 12’s old North and South Divisions then the potential imbalance could put the Big Ten’s or SEC’s to shame. Can you imagine if OU, Oklahoma State, Texas, TCU and Baylor are all in one division while Kansas, Kansas State, Iowa State and two current Group of 5s are in the other?
Yikes!
Do like the SEC and allow one cross division team to be your rival and play every year.
I’m sure Bailer would pick Kansas.
Ha ha, Dick!!
So you are saying we need to take a team that would make a good rival when we move to the SEC. My suggestion is we take OSU. Then they can have a rivalry with Auburn. The trophy would be a golden sheep. Then we could take their game with Alabama so they would have a real rival.
I think the trophy could be a reindeer….
———
UGA from the East would be my pick 🙂
Well that would work since Auburn’s other division is actually UGA.
Yeah it’d help with recruiting and I just think it’d be a good fit as a rival
I simply do not understand why people keep calling Bedlam a rivalry. Oklahoma currently leads the series 85–18–7. That’s not a rivalry.
Wiley Coyote calls it a rivalry with the Roadrunner just like oswho, but the winning side just takes care of business.
I’m sure OSU fans consider OU to be a rival but when I was at OU we always thought Nebraska and Texas were our rivals.
I didn’t. I said they would make a good rival for Auburn. They can sit around and argue about who offers the better poultry science degree. http://bulletin.auburn.edu/undergraduate/collegeofagriculture/poultrysciencepoul/
And how is that different than what we had before. Remember when we had OU, Texas, and TT under Leach, plus a decent OSU team under Gundy in the south.
Sounds familiar.
From year to year, teams will be a little up or a little down. Texas hasn’t shown much for several years. They continue to recruit well, but don’t produce. It doesn’t matter if you’re North/South, East/West or sideways, at times there will be some disparity. One solution with a 12 team conference is to continue the round robin play and rotate the schedules playing 9 conference games leaving 2 games rotating every other year. Top 2 teams play for the championship, use your head to head, etc. and etc. for tie breakers. I don’t see more than the obvious problems. How many times is the SEC championship actually played during the championship game, not many.
That’s why hand wringing over imbalance is wasted. No matter how you start it, unless you have some plan to rebalance every X number of years you will have periods where there is a significant imbalance. Then you have the problem have having to cut up rivalries in order to balance. See NU-OU.
Hey Bob,
I don’t think we need to worry about staying in this conference…
We have to leave if we can’t find schools that can add value enough to make more $. The gap between big12 and others $ just got larger with the new Big10 deal. I don’t think there is much choice but to leave. When do you think that could realistically happen?
It depends a lot on the details of the GOR. As I understand it, it only applies to home games, meaning the new conference would get our conference away games. Given the money the SEC and B1G are getting that could be worth enough to make up for the loss of revenue we lose from the B12. We also get our tier 3 game, which Texas has set a precedent for using a conference game for that as well.
In the end it breaks down to whether we can find away to replace the lost income with enough certainty that our leadership is willing to make the jump.
A lot of that depends on the fine details of the GOR and what the lawyers think will work.
It does appear that Boren has some play in mind. He has been very vocal which is odd given he was told earlier to be quiet. However, his track record doesn’t suggest a good deal of confidence in whatever his plan is.
The taint of political “talk and bluster” still clings to Boren. If he has a plan with an end game, he will have to act and not just threaten. I am all for him doing so, but I am in the “believe it when I see it” camp.
I have a copy of the full GOR if you want to check it out.
I work for a defense contractor. I have to read crap like that for a living sometimes. So no, not unless I am getting paid to read it.
Haha okay..
Its really only 2 pages long with maybe a page of content.
Reading legalese is borrring
Yeah, the problem is, unless you are a lawyer you probably don’t know what it all means. There may also be a much larger document that they signed and the public available one is just a summary.
Boring, but malleable (twistable may be better). “Creative interpretation” is all that is needed to weaken it.
The problem with your assessment is that you would be losing half your revenue, ie, all the money from your home games. The payout from the new conference would have to be at least twice what we making now to break even.
And right now the B1G is looking at $40 mil/per year vs the $25 mil the B12 is paying. They still have some of their rights to negotiate for so that number could increase. We are getting pretty close.
Note what Bob said about texsa “creativity” in having 1 game on its network – OU could do the same – 6 road, 1 home, thus 5/12 of revenue. AND THAT ASSUMES the FULL GOR payment rather than the very likely “settlement” value.
Send TCU and Baylor to the North. Keep OU and Texas in the South. Spilt the newbies, and send either KU or KSU to the South.

Yikes!
That was a good article written about TCU and like the author, I think they will have a solid year. I just think getting them early in the year will help our chances against their offense that has to replace a lot.
In between tOSU and Texas, it could be a tough game mentally.
Especially at their place as everything in that town will be purple that week. I was there for a business trip before the last game. I checked into the hotel and was greeted with “go horn frogs” with that hand gesture.
What’s up with that hand gesture? I’m no doctor but it looks like they have a muscle cramping problem or something. How does that relate to a horny toad?
Infiltrator looks good.
Good morning and BOOMER to all my fellow TFBs across this grand land!! Anyone picking up any twitter/social media activity from SoonerSquad17 indicating a possible commit soon? Isaiah Thomas set to announce sometime Saturday and in the past it seemed like either they or the coaches were doing the google eyes #waitonit or something.

Love this guy as he will shred. I’m taking a trip this summer to see a lot of these guys, Joe is one of them.
One of the many things that got to me is how effortless he plays. Also, he never stops. The end of one song is the beginning of the next. When I saw him it was a 2 and 1/2 hour show; non-stop.
I recorded him and I watch it all the time. Love the blues.

Those are kinda old timers for you ain’t they metz? You know Moore is gone right. Big fan of his. Don’t know if Ginger Baker is still around or not. Picked up The Mick Fleetwood Blues Band the other day and was somewhat impressed considering the Fleetwood Mack background. Rick Vito can play.
Yea hate moore left us,Its hard to believe.That BBM cd is hard to take out of the player.Mick Fleetwood does some nice stuff.Big on Buddy Guy not sure how much longer he will be around.When Gary played a year with thin lizzy is a great dvd to get.
Yeah, I got the Thin Lizzy. I like Buddy Guy when the mood hits. One of the legends; pardon the pun.

My first OU game I went to was the 2007 Big 12 Championship Game vs Missouri in San Antonio. My second OU game and first at Memorial Stadium was in 2008 vs Texas Tech. Being from Houston, it’s tough to be at all the games so I make sure to go to at least one game a year. 2 years ago it was the record breaking Kansas game, last year was the last second TCU game and this year will be the first game of the season here in Houston… from my past games I’ve attended I think it’s safe to say we’re in for a treat! What’s your most memorable OU game that you’ll never forget?
OU/Mizzou 2008 at Arrowhead in KC. The stupid plane and banner flying overhead paid for by Texas fans/alums. Unbelievably cold, and sitting right where the OU/Mizzou fans merge together (though we ended up sitting with more Mizzou fans than OU fans).
OU goes up 24-7 and is about to score again. Mizzou fan one row down and a couple of seats over is apparently tired of us chanting Boomer/Sooner and overall enjoying the butt-kicking (we kept it light because my 9-year old son was with us). So the Mizzou fan leans over and asks what the UT/OU score was earlier in the year. I said, “I can’t remember, I’m having too much fun watching OU kick Mizzou’s ass right now.”
Favorite non-OU game moment: I was at a KC Chiefs game the day after OU beat Mizzou in 2006 (26-10 if I recall correctly). I’m not a Chiefs fan, but I enjoy going to NFL games and got some good tix. I was wearing OU jersey and at halftime I’m walking up to the concessions and a Mizzou fan (in Chiefs gear, of course) gives me a little crap about being an OU fan – nothing rude or anything, just joking around with me.
As I’m standing in line, I’m holding a beer, and two beautiful women come up to me and start raving about me having the OU jersey on. They proceed to tell me that they’re former OU cheerleaders, etc. We chat for a few minutes, we exchange hugs, get pictures with each other…then we clink our beers, Boomer Sooner, then they continue on.
The Mizzou fan that was joking with me earlier watched this whole thing go down, and says to me, “Um, dude…can I be a Sooner fan too?” LOL
OU/Nebraska 1983. The game Spencer made the 5 yard TD dive that was on the ESPN intro for years. We were big underdogs and lost 28-21, had first & goal at the 5 in the closing minutes but a motion penalty set us back to the 10 and we never got in. It rained the entire game and I had the greatest time cuddling up with my hot date.
OU/Syracuse 1997. It was like watching football on the surface of the sun, but seeing McNabb throw-up on the field before plays and line up behind his guard was worth it. Ended up eating at a table next to him and his parents after the game. They were absolutely first class.
OU/TT 2008. Two words: jump around.
OU/Washington 1985. Unhorsemanlike conduct penalty kills what little momentum we could muster.
OU/Colorado 1993. Sooner Schooner rolls over. Man, everything about that day and that game was weird. It just didn’t feel “right” all day, and ended up being even worse. They even played the rest of the game with a big gash in the artificial turf.
OU/USC 1981. Coleseum, number 1 vs number 2. We had 3rd & 4 in our last possession, option right with plenty of room and slip making the cut. Punt to USC and they drive to score with 3 seconds left, winning 28-24. I went to the Comedy Store that night, to see OU grad Argus Hamilton host, and his entire comedy routine was about how we gave away the natty.
OU/Michigan 1972. My first Orange Bowl.

So, is Starr telling the board that if they want him as the fall guy, they can stick it? If he is telling the truth, it does not excuse the last several months of silence, but it sure makes Briles that much more tainted having hidden things from the university president.
Yes, this probably won’t end up good for anybody involved or their fans. I do kind of feel sorry for their fans, they finally get pretty good and then WHAM!

GOOD! If true, it shows at least some integrity by BU.
Yep, you reap what you sow.
GOOD! If true, it shows at least some integrity by BU.
I had a feeling they weren’t finished yet.
This is good. The new president can come in with a clean slate and hire all the right coaches for the university.
Baylor Fans be like:
Report that BU players HAVE been told of firing of Briles…
YES!!
Out with Briles yet Butch Jones still has a job…
Now that Baylor is being thoroughly examined, maybe attention will shift to other offenders.

Love that movie.
Via text, perfect for the sleazeball he is
Wow! Didn’t think they’d do it.
BU players commenting – Young:
“I don’t think I can play Baylor football without having my headcoach back leading the charge coach Briles did everything by the books!!!”
everything except…
http://spiritualcompassconnection.com/images/monkeys.jpg
Is there actually a book that details how to cover up rape, sexual assault, and other violent crimes for young people? s
Briles will probably be the HC at a SEC school tomorrow, where he really fits with the business plan.
No power 5 team will want his stink for awhile.
His love of the state of Texas is deep.
I bet this year off.
Then, some North Texas/SMU/Rice will hire him for a couple of years
I’m not sure that Briles involvement even begins to touch the outrageousness of Butch at UT. I’m inclined to believe he would fit into the SEC somewhere. Look what he did with the doormat at Baylor. Imagine what he could do at Vandy.
Him to SEC would be pretty cool. His system would undoubtedly change schemes over there.
But the dude has never left Texas. Ever. (away games don’t count)
I don’t think Vandy would be the school to sell out like that. I could be wrong, but they don’t seem to really mind being the SEC doormat…especially since their graduates are heads and shoulders above the rest of the conference, academically speaking.

Has anyone considered that getting rid of Briles and Baylor sucking again makes is harder for us to generate any credibility when it comes to getting into the CFP. A weak football conference just got weaker.
Let’s get out!
I’m ready.

Bob, you forgot the guns!
And the liquor cabinet
That’s STILL bare…thanks to someone…
Since you drank it all, I haven’t been able to restock.
That’s just the guns.
Okay – Good job!
♫ All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go…♫
Honestly, one less mouth to feed in texas should up the talent at the remaining schools. All the talent that would’ve gone to Baylor is going back where it belongs: OU and UT.
UT is going to have to start proving they can do something with the talent they already have. Not getting much out of what they have right now.
Fair enough. But w/o Briles, Ou probably would’ve landed at least one of the Duvernays (or however you spell it), Coleman, Cannon, etc. And that CB that we lost to them last recruiting cycle wouldn’t have even thought twice. UT didn’t really need the help, but it sure won’t hurt the good guys any.
Still doesn’t help with the ESpin that we ‘didn’t play anyone.’
And Bail er plays who in the non conf. schedule???
The point is the B12 has one less good team in a conference which already has a reputation for being weak.
We got invites before they hired Briles and we’ll get them going forward. Espin won’t like us either way.
True, but if we go undefeated it won’t matter. And with doormat BU back, that’s one less game to worry about.
True, but we didn’t get a lot of credit when we beat Baylor last year, either. Most of our CFP credit was earned at Tennessee. And Baylor didn’t get into the CFP the previous year over an Ohio State team that got routed by Va Tech. I doubt most of ESpin really ever considered Baylor/TCU truly “elite” even considering their success in the Big 12.
In conjunction with that, if the net result is that UT gets back to where they want to be, and/or if OSU gets back to that level, we’d most likely get more respect for beating those teams than we’d ever get for Baylor/TCU.
Not sure OU and Bob Stoops would deal in several of the BU “talents.”
Oh, absolutely. But they recently were receiving some actual, quality commits. Stidham, Cannon, Duvernay. Those were all guys Stoops expressed at least some interest in.
That’s true, but some things are more important than football……….like ice cream…

Oh, not saying they shouldn’t do it. Just pointing out yet how many get affected when you don’t do things the right way.
Carmen yes,well except that rodman fling.
Well just chop that one up to her being rebellious 🙂
True, but i dont think i could do much good for her, i mean following him.
Don’t sell yourself SHORT Metz.
Penmanship metz, penmanship.
Ok, better?
chop? KJ, you must watch too many horror flicks 🙂
Time to bail and we’re like 5 years late.

Bahaha sad but true
Maybe long term. If we get through the OOCs we have over the next few years, we have a strong argument. Especially if this helps Texsa recruiting, where they upgrade.
I was thinking more about what would have happened if Texsa had hired him instead of Strong. Uh oh!
Houston coach to Baylor, you heard it here first
Is that a step up or no?
He’s waiting out Chuck Strong
I’ll go with Dave on waiting.
BU will have to pay up big to get anyone to come in. There still may some NCAA or 12-2 sanctions against BU.
Yeah, they may get Penn Stated. Funny thing is Penn State didn’t actually break any NCAA rules. Quite a few laws, but no NCAA rules and the NCAA slapped them anyway.
Same jump Briles made.
I like that over them taking LR
I would think tulsa’s coach might be considered. Maybe even OUr OC.
I don’t think LR is that dumb. Baylor will have a certain smell for a couple of years I’d say.
Baylor hires one of two types of coaches. Either an established coach probably near the end of his career with a reputation for running a clean program or a young gun who is willing to overlook the problems for a chance to be a head coach. Neither one seems to be LR.
Agreed
No way

Don’t you think the NCAA has to get involved now? I’m not sure many coaches/recruits would want to touch Baylor at this point.
Recent history shows some teams can bounce back pretty fast after a firing, (Arky comes to mind). I’m not saying Baylor could be able to, but they don’t have a cash flow problem, they have an excellent roster and a new Stadium. If there is a setup for an immediate turn around Baylor could be the place. Flash a potent paycheck and someone will bet their career on it.
I think the issue will be sanctions from the NCAA or not knowing exactly what will happen. I would hope the NCAA won’t take these particular allegations and cover up lightly. Money is one thing, but this ruined peoples lives.
A lot will depend on whether the NCAA appears to be getting involved. Looming sanctions of the Penn State variety will scare off a lot of guys. Sure someone will take the check, but it could be a career ender once the sanctions hit and Baylor falls into the toilet. As much as you think someone would get credit for taking over an impossible situation, they often don’t.
The major difference I can see about the Baylor situation vs. the PSU situation is, it seems Baylor is cleaning their house. You are probably right, I just don’t see Baylor getting sanctioned like PSU did.
I don’t see how they can let Baylor off lightly, this was years of abuse and cover up.
Yeah, Dave Bliss also says hi. This is not the first thing Baylor has been involved in that stank.
I agree to a point. But I don’t think Arky is a good example. Title IX issues not about to rain on Arky
There is still a good chance the NCAA does something to prove they are involved in the greater university well-being. Also for a prospective new coach, the uncertainty of sanctions and as JiminTexsa mentioned, Title IX lawsuits will have to impact the decision to take a BU offer.
Petrino.
He’d fit in just fine in Waco.

Hope they stick with the Robison kid. He looks like a good one
Nah, we already have our ’17 QB. This guy:

Poor Baylor, I hope they saved the tarp.

Starr’s defense being that he wasn’t informed of the situation is a very clumsy attempt at playing the plausible denial card, amateurish really. As the Captain of the ship he is responsible for knowing the situation, not simply acting on knowledge that is forwarded or passed along to him. That is the unique nature of responsibility – you can and must delegate it, but you never surrender any portion of it.
Off my soapbox now.
Never said he didn’t need fired, just that they most likely kept him out of the loop intentionally
I don’t know how ‘they’ could have kept him out of the loop without having his approval to do so, either tacit or otherwise.
If Starr had instituted the Title IX requirements like was supposed to, that group would have notified him. Either way, he botched his responsibilities.
Baylor COULD come for Linc next year….that would suck.
SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
https://m.popkey.co/f7f6d9/dW6vR.gif
Shut your mouth!
with love 🙂
Let’s hope they rush into getting the coach for the future rather than waiting until after the season
I’m not going anywhere.
Let’s hope Linc recognizes the impending investigation could approach Penn St. levels and doesn’t even approach the job with a 100 ft pole.
If there is stink, there can be no Linc.
Imagine the Briles book deal.
Maybe there IS some integrity somewhere at Baylor after all.
Or there’s more news to be released soon ha.
Na, I don’t think so. I think they spent some time trying to determine if they could work around it and the national pressure was too unrelenting.
The Americans is an excellent series. It always surprises me how certain shows take off and others never seem to really get traction. In my circle of friends, family, and coworkers, we often talk about different shows. Still haven’t talked to anyone who watches The Americans.
Waving hand in the air. Great show.
It’s a solid show. Maybe a little too slow for most people.
Hey.
Okay, now you’ve talked to someone who watches 🙂
Very good show. The character exposition has been interesting because of the double life. The writers have been good at showing us the “real” people and the undercover personalities. It has been intriguing and not rah rah USA. The only unbelievable part for me has been the ease and quickness of getting into and out of disguise, and where do they do it??? That takes a lot of painstaking time.
Disgusting: FIRE. THEM. ALL.
https://twitter.com/Ethanhamm/status/735873370839998464
Holy crap (edited before posting)! That’s fairly disgusting.
Did said “meetings” include the now “interim” head coach?
Time will tell I guess, hard to think nobody other than Briles ever knew anything about this. It did say coaches and staff, so it was more than just ole Arty.
More of the P-H report will leak even if it is not released. At that point, any specific names or titles mentioned will have to be fired. The law suits by the victims will be epic and may bring more specific events to light.
This whole thing is almost unbelievable…
Might have to dismiss their governing board and have the state appoint a magistrate to run the place until such time as its deemed current ownership can abide by state and federal law. Clearly that can not be said today.

I’m not a cop, but I play one on the practice field.
Apparently not in Waco. Quite clearly, there aren’t even pretend cops in Waco.

Exactly what I thought.
With the breaking news of today, it makes this OU alum VERY pleased to have a coach, an AD, and a president with principles.
In lighter news saw a video of a duke walk on football player got offered a scholarship on the phone from his parents that coach cutcliff set up.. It was pretty cool
Saw that too. It brought a tear to my eye.
LOL

Love The Americans!
48 minutes until Super regional
The Bailor Jailor’s new theme coming soon near you. As for the unnamed coaches let go. That parking lot is going to look mighty different in the next couple of day’s. 16 class??? Is there anyone you would like to see transfer other than Parrish whom has not been baptized in practice yet? Tragic as this is for Bailor this is part of traditional history overcoming disastrious decision’s making, welcome to the real Big House!!! #BOOMER. #FEELING CONFIRMED.
Wow, Can not do it any better than that!!!

That was really gutsy going for the bunt with 2 strikes by Wodach!

Base running cost us at least 1 run that inning. Still lead 5-1.
Paige looking better and better. Getting it done!
This ump is not consistant.
What a catch by Pendley!
Absolutely AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Super Wow!!! Pendley with a diving catch to save a run and end the inning!!!!!!!!!!!
For those that missed that catch.
https://twitter.com/OU_CoachGundy/status/736022616817991680
Thank goodness that was a solo.
https://twitter.com/OU_Softball/status/736024742784684032
Yes.
I will not be upset if an ump calls a big strike zone or a small strike zone, as long as he/she is consistent. This ump is upsetting.
Way to go Erin!
