Bob Stoops: Classless Prick Thread

Bob Stoops, member of the College Football Golf Prick Club (charter member: the head ball coach, Steve Spurrier), demonstrated on Saturday night why he doesn't have as much class as Mack Brown has in his little finger. With the game well out of reach in the second half, Stoops left in all his starters, including Heisman candidate Sam Bradford, until the end of the game, even throwing the ball into the end zone with less than four minutes remaining in the game. His excuse?
We're in a championship game and we're going to play to the end. If you can't play to the end, I'm sorry.
Say what? What are you proving by playing until the end with your starters? That you're out to embarrass your opponent as much as possible? That you have no sense of sportsmanship or decency? All this coming from a coach who was held up as a paragon of virtue because he declined to do an interview for ESPN during the Texas-Texas A&M game. Wow, what a great guy.
Mack Brown and Texas fans are derided as being whiny, sore losers, yet Stoops is held up as some type of great guy? Excuse me while I barf. Enduring a day of football in which I had to listen to Gary Danielson shamelessly slobber all over Tim Tebow and Brent Musburger and Kirk Herbstreit fail to call out Bob Stoops has left me feeling pretty sick to my stomach. Poop on Stoops.

Yeah, that was Mack taking a knee every down. Oh wait, Mack wanted VY to have a chance at the Heisman. But it’s OKAY if UT does it……………

Eventhough I think the thread about Stoops is ridiculous...in UT's defense
Texas had 70 points on my Buffs with 7 minutes left in the third…that was just an onslaught of points

I think Stoops is a punk…but I have problem with what he did at all. He had a chance for history with his team and I just don’t think “class” is part of college football. If someone’s ego is too fragile to take a potential ass whipping, they may just be in the wrong sport. We don’t hear about running it up in college basketball, and we shouldn’t hear about it college football. If the outcome bothers a team, they need to practice a bit harder so it doesn’t happen again. If it bothers fans from OTHER teams…well, you have a vested interest and it didn’t go your way so you’re pissed.
Stoops’ job is to coach his team, not worry about the opponents’ feelings or Longhorn opinions. And he does his job very, very well.

why don’t you just leave BON. I have no respect for a guy that goes onto other blogs, talks trash about the Longhorns, and then comes over here and kisses everyone’s ass.
The boys at BON are still somehow of the opinion Florida won’t pass them tomorrow. Idiots.
Thank you, Sooners, for keeping the Horns out of the title picture!!

Nope
I don’t kiss anyone’s ass, I’m just not stupid or ignorant enough to come here and slam you guys…it’s your blog…when I do come here, I either have questions or am interested in talking about whatever with some the fans here.
It’s no secret I dislike most things University of Texas Sports and a small segment of their fans, but I won’t come here to talk about it. It’s called respecting the other guy’s blog. What people say on these blog things is typically tinged with a hint of hyperbole and humor, so don’t get too bent.
And I am not really looking for your respect.

C'mon guys..
He has conducted himself fairly well on this blog, he usually does not say anything over the top just to piss us off and I don’t even recall any bragging after the Tech game.. I understand it’s crazy to think someone would like to spend so much time on a rival site, but compared to “TexasSooner” and “Randyy” he has been respectful.

Stoops knows
about running up the score. Last time they were in the Orange Bowl in the MNC game the score was 55-19. Of course, they were on the losing end of that one embarrassing the conference for the first of many times since (the year before they lost, but it wasn’t embarrassing).
When will the voters learn? Don’t they realize that ou and Ohio State together have lost 4 out of the last 5 championship games? And yet they give one of them another chance? Here’s hoping it goes to 5 of the last 6.
USC crushed ou in the ‘04 championship and then we beat USC in the ’05 championship. Maybe we’ll get Florida next year and redeem the conference again.

Gotta agree, overall
As a neutral observer, I thought Stoops’ arguments about OK going over Texas, TT, etc. were pretty hard to counter. Despite all the talk of Texas beating OU on a neutral field, the argument has nothing to do with head-to-head and everything to do with a three way tie. The tiebreaker rules in your conference kind of suck, but those are your rules, not ours, so I felt Oklahoma deserved to play in the Big 12 title game, no questions asked.
Now, however, Stoops has left his quarterback in to play and lob TD bombs up by 30+ points. This is asshattery. I respect Stoops for his ability (and he’s a former UF assistant) but talk about taking things way too far…

I don't buy the argument
that Stoops isn’t to blame for running up the score. What if Bradford had gotten hurt on that play and ended up missing the championship game? I also don’t believe that Mack Brown ran up the score against the Aggies. He took out McCoy with more than 10 minutes left in the game and wasn’t even throwing the ball with John Chiles except on third downs.

Yet, we know....
…..that Bob Stoops’ peers, fellow HCs, have voted him the country’s #1. Only 3 fellow HCs joined Mack in voting our Longhorns #1. Like it or not, Stoops’ methods are going to get his team in the national championship game. Welcome to reality.

that's the problem
it works. big offensive numbers stand out to voters who don’t actually watch the games—or watch them in their entirety. i would hope that anybody that saw the last td vs. mizzou and osu would have been at least mildly appalled.

Stoops obviously wanted to make history
by being the first team to score 60+ in five straight games
I don’t have an issue with that. If you have a chance to make history like that, go ahead and do it.
Also, apparently the Missouri players were stupidly still talking smack before the game about how OU’s wins in 2007 were flukes, so Missouri deserved it.
When he sent Bradford back onto the field for the final drive, I knew he was going after the record.
If you’re worried about “feelings”, you need to watch some other sport, b/c they’re going to get hurt a lot in football.
by Beergut on Dec 7, 2008 3:41 PM CST reply actions 0 recs
The argument about wanting to make history
would hold more water if Stoops had not been running up the score in the previous four games leading up to the CCG. Had OU been scoring 60 per game while using their reserves I would agree with you. And no, Chris Brown does not count as a reserve. He had 11 less carries than Murray prior to the CCG.

Yep, though I think Stoops is an asshat...
Crying about sportsmanship wreaks of loserism. I love Mack, but I think he’s probably going to retire in the next couple of years because of the way this season has turned out. If he doesn’t adapt to the ‘style point’ game, at least by allowing our backups to run the offense, he’s handicapping our team from the very start of the season. Our margin of error is very small, compared to BlowU, just because of the perception they have in the media/pollster’s minds. We basically have to go undefeated or at least have one less loss than them every year in order to assure that they won’t jump us again.

THANK YOU
Except for Kirk Bohls, not a single damn sports reporter that I’ve read or heard has mentioned what Stoops did against OSU and again last night against MIssouri. The man is a pig. I’ve never been much of a Florida fan, but I am now.

Karma
Texas just learned what karma is all about.
The Longhorns are up in arms about Oklahoma getting voted into the Big 12 title game. They should be. But look beyond the anger. This is payback My Name Is Earl-style.
Rewind to December 4, 2004 when Cal had just won at Southern Miss by 10 points (which included taking a knee with a minute left inside the USM 10) and was ranked No. 4 and in line to get picked up by the Rose Bowl since No. 1 USC was going to the Orange Bowl to win the national title. But then Mack Brown publicly politicked and allegedly made a number of glad-handing phone calls to his poll-voting cronies, begging them to rank his Longhorns ahead of the Bears in the final regular-season poll. This tactic worked. Cal’s lead over Texas in the coaches poll went from 48 points to five allowing the ’Horns to jump the Bears in the final BCS poll and get the Rose Bowl bid.
Guess what Longhorns, 2008 is your karma for 2004. OU gets to go to the Big 12 title game because you only beat the Sooners by 10. Only this time it looks like it cost you a shot at the national title. Grin and bear it.
Couldn’t happen to a nicer team! Go Bears! http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/sportsline

Ah yes
And based on your strong showing against Texas Tech in that Holiday Bowl, you most definitely should have played against Michigan in the Rose Bowl. You’re totally right, Cal would have waxed their asses.

No doubt
I had nothing against the Bears before that game, but when I went to that Holiday Bowl I saw not anti-Tech smack talk, but a lot of anti-Longhorn crap. Needless to say we and the rest of the nation saw what clowns the Bears were as the 3rd best team in the Big 12 smacked them around like elementary school kids. And yeah, I still think Cal sucks – it’s just no longer any question to anyone.

oh, and one other thing
whether Mack likes it or not, we need to look closely at every coach who votes OU ahead of Texas. They’ve basically officially decreed that assclownish running up of scores is to be rewarded, and they need to be reminded of it any time we play them. No more sitting your first string with a comfortable lead, and leaving any dignity intact – we need to throw bombs and call timeouts to score more against those guys.
Mack will just have to save his class and sportsmanship lessons for coaches who haven’t figuratively spit upon the concept.

Stoops classless? Look to yourselves, you sniveling pack of eunuchs
You should realize by now how pathetic and deluded you maniacal Texas fans look. I thought Chase Daniel was amusing last year when he cried after losing the Big 12 Championship game. You people make Daniel look like a winner by comparison. If Mack Brown had any class at all, he wouldn’t have gone on the public stage, radio and TV, and cried over and over and over about the inequity of it all. He could have shown a LITTLE class by complaining ONCE about the Big 12’s tiebreaker system and then shutting up. Classless was the person who approved the various banners displaying the asinine level to which Mack has sunk. Texas itself has been there for years. Until this display of immaturity, I liked Mack. I won’t lower myself to calling him classless names. No need to. He’s proved himself, as have you sad, pathetic clowns who can’t accept the fact that sh*t happens to those who wallow in it. How long will you cry? Until next season? Your obsession is unhealthy and embarrassing to your school and your state (especially considering that the state of Texas has been an embarrassment for decades).

Heisman issue
Hey -
I understand that a coach should back his players, but Stoops cannot get through a single interview (whether it pertains to it or not) about how amazing Sam Bradford is.
Colt is probably screwed big time since Mack is supportive, but not Stooping it.

Pounding more points.....
against a team you have a 4, 5 or 6 touchdown lead on in the second half…..is the epitomy of low class. Unfortunately the idiot media, including hyper lisping Lou on ESPN have accepted that these are “Style Points”.
Next year it might be “Style Wins” when the loonies beat Chattanooga 100 to 0. Sad, Sad, Sad. Stoops is lowering the bar beyond belief.
Texas needs to maintain its integrity and pull the starters as we do now……this will pass, just like it did when Houston was running up the score on everyone 20 or so years ago.
I'd rather you just say thank you and went on your way.

Schedule a seasons worth of div II cupcakes, beat them by all by 70 or 80 points, set a bunch of dumb records, record all kinds of ridiculous stats for everyone on the team, go unbeaten win all the awards and have everyone declare you the best team of all time.

Stoops not just classless, but stupid
The point that seems to be ignored is that Stoops exposed his starters to potential injury in a game that was already decided, just to fuel his ego. That’s not just classless, but reckless and stupid.
