I don't technically disagree with anything you said, but I'm still glad we got Fears. As I said prior, I have no idea whether it will help us get a single recruit, but there is no downside to having him represent the OU men's program. There is a more selfish reason I'm glad he came to OU. I...

I couldn't care less. That said, I worry about anyone who thinks like me :-).

Not to bust your chops, but you couldn't come up with a more original username than THAT? :)

2019 would be the one exception, but your point is well-taken. In hindsight, I would definitely still want Fears because anytime a coaching staff can boast about an NBA player to recruits, it can only help. It may or may not make a difference, but there is certainly no downside to having a...

Yeah, Ramsey did not make the most of having the best player in school history at the time (Alvan Adams). Regardless, anyone who thinks Moser is the worst coach in school history needs to look at how bad OU was during the 1950s and 1960s. A typical record was similar to how I'm afraid we're...

No, there have been a couple worse, but we get your point. Fortunately, I wasn't born or too young to remember the first two coaches post Bruce Drake. John Macleod is the coach who made us competitive...took a minor step back after he left and then Dave Bliss got us back in the NCAA Tournament...

I think the new AD will not want to get on the wrong side of the fanbase by doing nothing after this season ends. My best guess is he will not give Moser any kind of "vote of confidence" in hoping that he leaves on his own. He also doesn't want to pay the buyout unless it is a last resort. He...

I can't see anyone arguing that. Before his arrival, it was reported in the Sooners Illustrated magazine (where I got my OU info before the internet took off) that Steve Owens alienated a lot of people and the athletic department was in total disarray. Joe C definitely cleaned things up. Yes...

You may be right. That's the plan, but once the new AD is entrenched, they may work something out to let him leave early. Regardless, I'm curious what his legacy will be. There is no way he will be remembered fondly by those who are huge basketball fans. That said, he did hit with his most...

I doubt Joe C will stick around for two more years, or even close to that. I remember Donnie Duncan stuck around for less than one year as a lame-duck AD. He hired Kelvin Sampson and shortly thereafter, Howard Schnellenberger. While he was technically the AD a year later when both John Blake...

No coach in their right mind is going to pass up the financial difference in coaching at Loyola vs Oklahoma. To your point, the temptation was too much. He wouldn't be human if it wasn't. As for the original question in this thread, it's likely all about CHEMISTRY. I'm guessing these guys...

I'm trying to remember if I've ever heard of a 5-star running back in high school convert to another position in college. I have heard of this for other positions, but not sure about RB, though I'm sure this isn't a first. Best of luck to the young man, except when he plays against us.

No, he didn't have a great game...never said he did. And his offensive line was horrible which obviously contributed to the turnovers. But with 3 TD passes, he played good enough to win and they did. Even better, a former Sooner has played great the past several games. Rhamondre even won AFC...

If the offense recovers the fumble then it is not a turnover. I would like to think any rating system can distinguish between keeping possession and a turnover. And no, punting because you recovered your fumble is not the same as an interception. Finally, I never said losing a fumble was any...

I believe both passer rating and QBR get dinged for that, though QBR might have a way of handling it better (not sure). You'll never find a perfect way to evaluate the play of the QB. As for the QB losing a fumble, I believe QBR should be able to differentiate between a "coverage sack" (which...
