	Report Comment gba, (9/9/2009 4:26:01 AM) FIRE STOOPS NOW !!!!!!!
	Report Comment Graybeard, Tulsa (9/9/2009 6:30:05 AM) Landry is "the real deal". He can play and knows the system. All he needs is an O-line to do its job and Kevin Wilson to do his job. Sooners CAN win the remaining games with the right attitude and a little bit of Sooner Magic. We've gone through this before!
	Report Comment Mimosa_House, Tulsa (9/9/2009 6:42:35 AM) With a 'stache like that, who wouldn't have confidence!?! And I agree with gba.... Stoops time has run its course!
	Report Comment rjones238933, (9/9/2009 6:51:14 AM) I hate bandwagon fans!!! what are you thinking when you say fire Stoops! Do you want John Blake, Gary Gibbs, Howard Schnellenberger back and the wonder 90's that treated the Sooners so well? you my friends are not true Sooner fans. So go back and cheer for your local high school...
	Report Comment Sooner transplant, Marion (9/9/2009 7:01:29 AM) Idiots! If you are so talented and knowledgeable about the game of football, you would would have Stoops' job or Wilson's job. Bottom line, you know nothing. Whether the O-line becomes great or not, it won't be Wilson's or Stoops' fault....the players have to play and make the plays and execute.
	Report Comment KYCane, Crestwood (9/9/2009 7:24:32 AM) I'm a TU fan first and foremost, but I think OU can rebound from this. The key is going to be the O line - it HAS to jell, it HAS to come together and play together to give Landry protection and time. I've been reviewing the tape of TU's win over Tulane and I was mystified by that 4th down trick play where the entire O line doesn't move. Trick plays won't beat OU. OU may or may not be in a down year - but they have too many superb athletes compared to TU's limited resources. TU will have to play a near-perfect game on all aspects of the game just to have a chance against the Sooner squad in a supposed "down" year.
	Report Comment Cool Tool, roswell (9/9/2009 7:43:58 AM) Has anyone at the Tulsa World thought to ask Mr. Landry T. Jones what on earth he was thinking when he showed up in public with that partial moustache? Or better yet what he thought throwing a ball at the ground on third down would accomplish? It's called "Journalism" and you get it up tuh the local colledge!
	Report Comment retired x2, Canadian (9/9/2009 8:25:25 AM) O-line lost that one boys. Stuff happens, gotta be ready. Texas should have a good time in Oct. Okie State will be tough as they smell blood in the water.
	Report Comment Dethklok, Claremore (9/9/2009 8:33:38 AM) First of all, firing Stoops will accomplish nothing. I agree with rjones that I don't want to go back to the way things were in the 90's. Potentially, three losses isn't exactly a bad season. Look at Stoops first season. No one was crying to fire him then. Second, Landry Jones is going to do fine. He will have two games to get his feet wet before a tough game game at Miami. Plus, he has a full week of practice as the #1 quarterback instead of Sam's backup. This is the time he needs to gel with his o-line and get OU back in the win column.
	Report Comment tulsandn, out in the woods (9/9/2009 8:41:15 AM) Last years' experienced o-line had repeated procedure calls against them & this years' squad is continuing that legacy as are the d-backs who can't play coverage when it's time to make a game deciding play.... This years' players are just like last years' & the years' before, it's as if when you put on that crimson & cream jersey it goes into your blood and you can't follow the snap count or defend the pass on a third or fourth down in the fourth quarter....
	Report Comment richard noggin, claremore (9/9/2009 8:46:20 AM) ESPN's Andre Ware said OU would lose 4 games. The Sooner homers were outraged. Mr. Ware is probably correct. Texas will hammer you OU homers. Go Texas. Kick "Little Game Bob's" rear again. $5,000,0000 a year for this. Any game that has rally mattered he get his rear kicked.
	Report Comment It Matters!, (9/9/2009 8:48:09 AM) Trick plays DO BEAT OU! Does Boise State ring a bell?
	Report Comment tulsandn, out in the woods (9/9/2009 8:52:05 AM) Longhorns, Jayhawks, Cornhuskers, Red Raiders & a Hurricane here & there are circling the Sooners, ready to add a victory over the Sooners to this years' win total.... Tulsa 24 OU 13 Too bad OSU, your gonna be facing a wounded animal in November with nothing to lose. OU's motivation will be to ruin the Cowboys greatest season ever....or get a better bowl bid than the Las Vegas Bowl....
	Report Comment Cool Tool, roswell (9/9/2009 9:10:07 AM) First off, if we could just fire Stoops we could hire Pete Carrol or Urban Meyer. Either of those two would kill to coach in Norman. And secondly, Andre Ware attended the University of Houston ... nufff said.
	Report Comment 007, (9/9/2009 9:25:56 AM) All that the BYU games shows is that Stoops is over rated, over paid and only has a couple of players that we can really count on!
	Report Comment richard noggin, claremore (9/9/2009 9:26:36 AM) COOL TOOL --- What does it matter that Andre Ware went to Houston U? He predicted OU would lose 4 games. He may be short a couple.
	Report Comment shaw411, Scottsdale, AZ (9/9/2009 9:37:17 AM) The TV guys said Landry had a football mustache.....11 hairs on each side...
	Report Comment Raven is my name, Guthrie (9/9/2009 9:54:54 AM) Yeah I don't care for his mustache, but he has a super hot booty!
	Report Comment Loophole, (9/9/2009 10:19:40 AM) With an offensive line that leaks like a sieve, Jones will be on the injured list in no time. Then who will take his place?
	Report Comment Hlywood7, Edmond (9/9/2009 10:21:58 AM) I guess Pete Carrol is overrated also since USC loses a game to someone that they should slaughter once about every year. OU had one bad game without their QB for a half and a bunch of new starters on the offense.
	Report Comment tulsandn, out in the woods (9/9/2009 10:42:08 AM) There was a time when Oklahoma reloaded instead of rebuilt.... A time the only players switching positions was QB's becoming DB's or FB's becoming LB's, never TE's becoming OL or RB's becoming unused WR's.... OU can't recruit offensive linemen ???? Why not ???? Too bad OU doesn't have someone who can recruit & coach offensive linemen as well as recognize OL talent....Or offensive talent for that matter, right now we have a RB whose change of direction is from standing up to falling down, another RB who is like an old workhorse, all beat up & not what he used to be. SAM better take a good look at his RB's because behind that OL that is his future....
	Report Comment Okie Dutch, Tulsa (9/9/2009 10:50:15 AM) Truth is, the Sooners weren't doing all that well BEFORE Sam's injury either, were they? I'm always uncomfortable when so much pre-season hype is in the air. It seldom leads to high level performance. I say get over it. Landry will be the QB for the immediate future. He has everything to win and nothing to loose by trying to be his best. Lets get behind him. As for firing Stoops, that's just wierd. Media exagerated hype and Oklahoma invincibility expectations are the bane his work, not the description.
	Report Comment Have that, America (9/9/2009 10:58:54 AM) This guys 'stache is so awesome, how can the sooner faithful have ANY doubts?
	Report Comment Cool Tool, roswell (9/9/2009 11:28:03 AM) Dick: Cougar High is no place to matriculate. That's akin to someone braggin' about their degree from Okie State. Look me up when Okie State is ranked No. 108 in the country by the good people at US News and World Reports!
	Report Comment HOGRIDER, BA (9/9/2009 12:31:33 PM) The only legitimate replacement for Stoops would be Barry, and he's not coming back. You people settle down.
