I think we're going to be fine at LB for a few years now, so this isn't that big. We need the scholarships for some of the WR's we're recruiting anyway.

SoonerDJ, Lisbon, Portugal (1/21/2009 6:57:52 AM)

I agree that we are fine at LB. I don't understand why Eric Ward doesn't want to be at OU with thier need for WR. I could see if the offense was run based, but Sam threw for almost 5k yards last season. Oh well, someone else will step up.

I'm Sooner born and I'm Sooner bred but if we could win a bowl game these rats wouldn't be abandoning ship. I love Bob but I'm getting tired of having to try to explain why we lose bowls. My commander is from Boise State, my Sergeant Major is from West Virginia, makes for a hard day at work.

It sounds like rats fleeing a sinking ship.lol

rogerq, Pyongtaek, South Korea (1/21/2009 7:18:57 AM)

poke, you must be a cowgirl fan. at least your coach is 41 now and still "A MAN!". but what has he really done lately besides be a whiner and a joke for the sate?

Liberal, (1/21/2009 7:34:28 AM)

Poke, don't make OSU fans look stupid. I hate it when other fans do that and make the school that I cheer for bad. Show some class, despite the fact some OU fans don't show any class...many OU fans are bandwagon fans and didn't even go to a single class at the school. The fact is, they have won. We should show class anyway. The other fact is, we are getting better and gaining respect. Let Gundy's "men" do the talking on the field.

Case in point...in my previous post...CORRECTION: insert "look." i.e...making YOU look bad. apologies for that. I left out the word "look"

Sportsfanatic, Tulsa (1/21/2009 8:22:39 AM)

Come on Tulsa World. A few days ago you printed articles stating that this was the best recruiting class that OU has ever had. I doubt that a couple 3 star athletes drops them from the best to the worst class they have ever recruited. It doesn't take a genius to figure out when you are loaded at linebacker why a could would change his mind, but NO, these OSwho losers get on here and say it is a "sinking ship". I guess if OSwho was loaded at ANY position, you would understand but this is proof that you are not.

Also, OSwho fans have resorted to where the only argument they have is that some OU fans did not go to school there. If you would put a winning program out there then maybe you would also attract fans across the state. In the meantime, you go ahead and keep using that as your "COMEBACK"!!!

seymore1965, Tulsa (1/21/2009 9:02:30 AM)

A person can have a relative alumni , such as a brother or sister, from OU to feel the connectedness. You don't actually need to go to school there.

BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!

These players didn't want to sit on the bench as a redshirt frosh so they are going somewhere they can play, but you're less likely to get a NFL scout to watch you if you play for Baylor.

cowpoke, (1/21/2009 9:34:47 AM)

SportsFanatic, rogerq and all the Boomer LOOSER fans need to grow up... as is apparent. The rats ARE abandoning ship! No highly regarded recruit wants to go from highschool where or JC where they've been winning, only to come to the Chokelahoma Sooners and be letdown every year. As for the comment "not being loaded at ANY position" that is a total joke! I guess OSU doesn't have Dez (a top 4 wideout NATIONALLY!) and "Spud" Hunter who led the big twelve in rushing yards the whole year!!!!! Check your facts before you open your conceded, gaping mouth.
I'm Cowboy born and Cowboy bred but i'd rather be dead than in Sooner red! GO STATE!!!!!!

I love how poke fans seem to always come up with this asinine notion that you have to have gone to school to go to a game. Do you think this is the case with other big time programs such as Texas, Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, etc...? The answer would be no. OU has such a following because they appeal to the Oklahoma masses. OSU doesn't. Only Alumni or relatives of Alumni and students have any interest in attending OSU football games. Go ahead, keep it all to yourselves. Believe me, no one minds.

brb549, (1/21/2009 9:47:11 AM)

cowpoke, are you serious? See that's the mentality of Poke fans. They're perfectly content with playing in any secondary bowl. I'd much rather play for the National Championship on a regular basis and lose than to never be good enough to get there. OSU will never be one of the "Big Boys" on a year in and year out basis in football. But as long as you get to any ole bowl, I guess you'll be happy.

brb549, (1/21/2009 9:55:44 AM)

Scout com has OU's current recruiting class ranked 8th and OSU's 38th.

cowpoke, (1/21/2009 10:03:20 AM)

And just like O-Who fans to dodge their previous comments once someone points out that they're wrong. Go hide like you always do after your team gets their annual beat down. What do you consider "playing for Championship on regular basis"? Dont worry i guess the program and the fans are glad to be content with choking in big games every year. Heads will roll sooner than later...wait and see. Don't act like you ALL weren't sweating the last Bedlam game either! You got whooped for majority of the game so dont play like you deserve wins or have a right to any higher recognition than your in-state rival! Last year 7-6 this year 9-4. Hmmm would seem to me that we're only getting better and attracting more money and better recruits! Hey when you see Gatorade does it make you mad? Lol! GO GATORS! Thanx for another hilarious end to O-Who's season.

cowpoke, (1/21/2009 10:12:09 AM)

I love that OSU is gaining recruits while O-Who is losing them. Funny but not hard to understand given O-Who's recent 6 year history!

smauder, (1/21/2009 10:16:44 AM)

cowpoke, he was talking about being loaded at a posistion not just having a single player that is good in a posistion yes dez, and kendall are great players but you need more than one good reciever and running back. Yes you have totson but come on how good of a receiver can he be if he doesn't have anyone else to take the double teams off of him. aka loaded!!

cowpoke, (1/21/2009 10:25:25 AM)

Smauder? thanyou for your post. cowpoke AKA owasso hockey #44. Small world eh?

brb549, (1/21/2009 10:42:27 AM)

Thanks for making my point. You're all excited because you "almost" beat OU. But you LOST. But, that's the mentality of Poke fans. Sad but true.

brb549, (1/21/2009 10:44:43 AM)

By the way, how many Big XII football championships has OSU won? ZERO. How many have they played in ZERO. How many National Championships in football have they played for ZERO. How many have the won ZERO. Any questions?

cowpoke, (1/21/2009 10:50:06 AM)

brb549 You must get a job to use up all this free time you have to post all day.Go back to pulling the legs of ants or whatever it is you do. I think i hear your mommy calling you. Everyone else who's employed.... back to work.

brb549, (1/21/2009 10:52:33 AM)

That's it? That's your response? Seriously? Wow, that's awesome.

us4Sooners, somewhere out there... (1/21/2009 10:56:06 AM)

cowpoke -

Obviously Big 12 Championships don't mean anything to people like you. I bet your fellow poke fans feel differently. Let's see, three in a row for the Sooners and possibly four this year. Six out of seven tries. Not too shabby, even by your low standards.

I agree with brb549. Rather be in in the NC game and lose than not be there at all. Don't have a chance to win if you're not there.

And a NC for the cowboys ain't happening. Even with Pickens' money. Let that sink in.

Arbythree, Tulsa (1/21/2009 11:06:26 AM)

Just keep them in the Big 12 so we can play against them one day.

BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!!

79-16-7. That's all any Sooner should have to say to little sister OSwho.
