Texas writer on Stoops: "We hate his guts"
10/9/2008 5:04:33 PM

Suppose we shouldn't let OU-Texas Week pass without recognizing the 10-year anniversary of Bob Stoops vs. Mack Brown.

I'm not sure I've seen a more interesting comparison between the two coaches than this, courtesy of author (and Texas grad) Adam Jones from a column he wrote for CollegeFootballNews this week:

"The contrast of coaches provides perfect melodrama. Oklahoma fans have long despised the elitist provincialism of the Texas flagship. In Brown, the ultimate CEO coach, sporting a nice guy persona with a side of thin skin, they have their perfect foil.

"For Texas fans, the relationship with Stoops is more straightforward. We hate his guts. He’s Barry Switzer boorish and Steve Spurrier smug."

-- Guerin Emig

Well, the University of Texas doesn't hate everyone from Oklahoma. Texas named their stadium after an Oklahoman - Darrell K Royal!
