When did "Fighting Manginos" start?

[cjames317]

Was it here? I heard Bob Davie say it during a football broadcast and Jim Ross used it in his OUInsider column. Corby, one of the afternoon guys on Dallas' 1310 AM, thinks he invented it.

[TheUnnamedSooner]

I've heard it ever since he went to Kansas.

[fadada1]

because "The Team Mark Mangino Ate" was politically incorrect.

[OU James]

I think it's a Rece Davis thing. I'm pretty sure he started it, he does a lot of the "fighting [insert coach name here]'s", especially if the school is either small or known for bad football.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I started it along with the now popular use of the word "discombobulated"

[MextheBulldog]

Good question. First time i heard it was on the Ticket. But i'm not giving credit only to Corbitt/Corbin/Colby/Colbin/CobraSnake

You stole it from me! :mad:

[badger]

please. any team that is easy to make fun of AND has a funny coach is FAIR GAME.

Ole Miss is the Oregerons. Occasionally Oregon is Oregeron, but all you have to do to differentiate the two is saw "Yeaw, yeaw yeaw" a few times.

Mississippi State is the Crooms. They are a pathetic team... until this year, when they might actually make a bowl game! One win till eligibility...

I've heard both "Fightin' Manginos" and "Fightin' Mangina's" for Kansas. Like the Crooms, they are usually pathetic, and Mangino is a funny coach. Mangino is also a funny name :D:D:D

[Doged]

I invented it shortly after I finished inventing the interwebs and income tax. Sorry about the tax thing. It seemed a good idea at the time.

[OklahomaTuba]

Paul "Bear" Bryant invented "Fightin Manginos" prior to his 378th national title.

[Seamus]

because "The Team Mark Mangino Ate" was politically incorrect.

I'll take "Non Sequiturs" for $200, Alex ... :cool:

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Ohh I also invented post it notes...your welcome

[SoonerStormchaser]

BUCK FUTTER!!!

And, I will now reveal now, for the first time in public, I was the first person in recorded history to throw a pair of sneakers, tied together, over power lines.
Thank you.
Thank you very much.

[goingoneight]

It's been used for quite a while, now... they referred to OUr offense as the fighting Manginos during both the aTm game in 2000 and the MNC game I have on DVD.


About as brilliant as "Stoops Troops." It gets a big 'meh' from me.

Yeah, he also calls Cal the "Fighting Tedfords."
