Why we all love Mike Stoops

[swardboy]

One thread is enough.....

[swardboy]

Sure he had to apologize...but what cajones to say it!

Stoops sorry for calling Arizona St. 'a J.C.'

Associated Press

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Arizona coach Mike Stoops apologized on Thursday for saying that Arizona State has "turned into a J.C."

"Yesterday in my annual signing day news conference I regretfully made some comments about sister institution Arizona State University," Stoops said in a statement. "These remarks were dutifully reported by the media, and not necessarily taken out of context — which was within some of my heartfelt observations about the recruiting process and what it entails for individuals and college football programs. But it was a personal mistake and one for which I apologize."

Stoops was not available for further comment.

Stoops apologized for a comment made during a football signing day news conference on Wednesday in Tucson. He said some recruits had told him that it was easier to earn acceptance at ASU than at Arizona.

"Each school has to recruit to that school and what type of academic requirements there are," Stoops said then. "Obviously, Arizona State has turned into a J.C. and we are a four-year college. According to all the players, they say it is easier to go to school there, easier to get in. I thought we had the same requirements. It is news to me."

Even with the apology, Stoops' remarks are sure to turn up the intensity in one of the Pac-10's most bitter rivalries. Tensions between the football programs, located 90 miles apart, grew last month when highly touted tailback Ryan Bass of Corona, Calif., backed out of an oral commitment to Arizona and said he would attend ASU. Bass was among the 27 signees announced by the Sun Devils on Wednesday.

Arizona signed only two players from the state — seven fewer than Arizona State. The disparity could be a byproduct of ASU's three-game win streak in the Territorial Cup series. Stoops is 1-3 against Arizona State.

Stoop conceded on Wednesday that the Wildcats' recruiting might improve if they defeat ASU more often.

"I am disappointed we didn't sign more kids from the state of Arizona," Stoops said. "When you don't have the success it hurts you probably the closer you are to home.

"They have beat us three years in a row," he said. "We have to go out and beat them and play better than they do, and hopefully we will have a better year recruiting."

[SOONER STEAKER]

I miss Mike. We had some great conversations about football at Flips Bar and Grill. I wish Mike the most success in AZ!

[BigRedJed]

No.

[BigRedJed]

I predict this thread will outperform the other one.

[BigRedJed]

Wait a minute. I just remembered that this isn't the SO.

[BigRedJed]

Of course, I could always make it outperform the other thread, BY MYSELF.

[BigRedJed]

We are TOTALLY pwning that other thread.

[BigRedJed]

YOU HEAR ME, WEAKASS IMITATION THREAD??!?!

[Sooner_Bob]

Step away from the computer . . . moderation has made you crazy, but this is the best thread evar.

[BigRedJed]

You got that right. On all points.

[swardboy]

BRJ...the threadmeister!!!!

[BigRedJed]

See? Even YOU like this thread better. PWNAGE!!

[BigRedJed]

All across our fine state and the nation, I hear the collective sound of SF football board posters and lurkers mumbling, "what the **** is this crap?"

[BigRedJed]

Please note that the other thread has but one reply. Suckage.

[Curly Bill]

I just want to be able to say that I posted in this, the greatest thread ever.

[BigRedJed]

Another convert!!

[BigRedJed]

As much as I'd like to take credit for the whole thing, you've gotta give it up to swardboy for a great title.

I'm not sure why it didn't work for the other thread, which is stinking it up, however.

[Big Red Ron]

This thread kills the other one.

;)

[BigRedJed]

Whistling past the graveyard, pal. Whistling past the graveyard.

[Big Red Ron]

Whistling past the graveyard, pal. Whistling past the graveyard.:D

[silverwheels]

Moderation?

[BigRedJed]

I disagree.

[Curly Bill]

Just wanted to check back in on this, the greatest thread ever...

...and it still rules!

[BigRedJed]

I agree.

[swardboy]

Shhhh....i'm watching LOST.

[BigRedJed]

You can HEAR teh innerwebs? :eek:

[BigRedJed]

TWOPAGEOWNED!!!

[BigRedJed]

I'm serious. That other thread is BRUTAL.

[BigRedJed]

That thread is taking a ride on the failboat.

[BigRedJed]

It is full of suck and fail.

[Curly Bill]

I'm serious. That other thread is BRUTAL.

True dat, it's a damn train wreck I tell ya. :eek:

[BigRedJed]

Now the football board regulars are REALLY scratching their heads.

[BigRedJed]

[BigRedJed]

Even after I tried to help the suckass one out a bit.

[swardboy]

Hey, I just hit 3,000 posts!!!!!!!

[BigRedJed]

Too bad it was in such a crappy thread. You want I should delete a couple of your posts, so that you can go post your 3000th in the good one?

[Curly Bill]

I need to go grab a bite to eat, maybe take a shower, but I can't tear myself away.

[BigRedJed]

Srsly dude, this thread is FAR better than eating and bathing.

[Curly Bill]

Srsly dude, this thread is FAR better than eating and bathing.

Could it possibly be better then secks even? Surely not, but it's prolly pretty close.

[BigRedJed]

Suddenly... ...uncomfortable...

[BigRedJed]

I feel like I might be asked to show the nice people where on the doll this thread touched me.

[Curly Bill]

Suddenly... ...uncomfortable...

Ah, I's just BS'n.

[BigRedJed]

ok...




I NEED AN ADULT HERE!!!

[swardboy]

No. I stand by this thread. It's a good thread. It didn't deserve being overcome by a J.C. thread.....

[BigRedJed]

Well, the good news for this thread is that I'll probably be staying over here now. Curly Bill is in the other one being creepy.

[soonerhubs]

Hey, I just hit 3,000 posts!!!!!!!
That was so last week. ;)

[swardboy]

Oh wait. I regret that I made those remarks about our sister thread. It was a mistake and I apologize.

[Curly Bill]

Well, the good news for this thread is that I'll probably be staying over here now. Curly Bill is in the other one being creepy.

Ya made me feel bad...I'm gonna go delete my post now. :(

[BigRedJed]

GO TAKE A SHOWER!!! ;)

[BigRedJed]

Oh wait. I regret that I made those remarks about our sister thread. It was a mistake and I apologize.
TOPICAL!! The thread's taking a turn for the better...

:pop:

[KantoSooner]

Good Lord, I go away to have a business call and shower and come back to discover an awesome thread has been born.
And I haven't posted on it!
I was born for this sort of tomfoolery.
Outta my way!

[Curly Bill]

It's been a blast cept when I got my feelers hurt. :( ;)

[swardboy]

:texan:

[BigRedJed]

Man, go unhide that post. I'm just kiddin'.

[BigRedJed]

Even though I know rejection can be tough sometimes. :D

[BigRedJed]

THREEPAGEOWNED!!!

[Curly Bill]

Man, go unhide that post. I'm just kiddin'.

Is that within my powers to unhide it? Cause I really thought it was kinda funny.

[BigRedJed]

Maybe not. But I can put it back.

[Curly Bill]

Maybe not. But I can put it back.

YES!

[BigRedJed]

There. I knew my moddy powers must be good for SOMETHING.

[Curly Bill]

There. I knew my moddy powers must be good for SOMETHING.

WORD!

[BigRedJed]

But you're still kinda creepy.

[BigRedJed]

;)

[swardboy]

Could it possibly be better then secks even? Surely not, but it's prolly pretty close.

What have you done with my non-thread ?:eek:

[BigRedJed]

It's still there. Sucking as hard as ever.

[Curly Bill]

What have you done with my non-thread ?:eek:

...and now you're tryin to hurt my feelers :(

...just cause I made a funny with the word secks in it :D

[BigRedJed]

But my merge finger is getting itchy.

[BigRedJed]

Eww. Now I just creeped MYSELF out.

[Curly Bill]

Having played a role, however small, in taking this thread to heights never before achieved, I will now step away at least momentarily.

[swardboy]

Watch that guys fingers Jed

[BigRedJed]

Aw shucks, this thread is a pale imitation of what used to go on DAILY on this board.

[BigRedJed]

But it is pretty kickass, I'll admit.

[BigRedJed]

Unlike that other POS.

[BigRedJed]

Control.

[BigRedJed]

Sucks.

[Ash]

Approves?

[BigRedJed]

BUT NOT AS BAD AS THAT OTHER THREAD DOES!!

[BigRedJed]

Dammit.

[Ash]

Yes.

[Ash]

Jenni joke? FAIL.

Looks like this thread sucks more than before.

My work here is done.

[BigRedJed]

No, you're mistaken. The OTHER thread is the one with the unbelievable suckage.

This thread just rules slightly less after you posted in it.

;)

[Curly Bill]

After showering and eating, not at the same time, I return to see that this thread STILL RULES!!!

[Ash]

Showering and eating...meh.

Showering and drinking...ok.

[Curly Bill]

Showering and eating...meh.

Showering and drinking...ok.

That's the plan for tomorrow night. :D

[freshchris05]

IN...

[SanDiegoSoonerGal]

Four pages later, I still don't know why we all love Mike Stoops.

Carry on. As you were. I'll come back and catch up when I'm sover. I mean sover. I mean sober.

[TheHumanAlphabet]

Can't wait for the Arizone State J.C. signs...

[OUmillenium]

Thread support initiator...engage

[Animal Mother]

At the very least he didn't invoke the dreaded "it was taken out of context" crapola. I'm so tired of that lame sentence. Coach:"You took what I said out of context." Reporter:“But you did say it coach.” Coach: “See you did it again!”

[Curly Bill]

Glad to see a few others have visited this thread, so they too can see just how allsome it is.

[BigRedJed]

Yeah, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to merge it with its weak, pale parasitic twin. The only hope that POS has is to be united with this one.

[swardboy]

Oh be careful little fingers what you do......



Ah, couldn't you let it reach 100 posts? yeah, that's it....this thread is a paltry shade of puke if it doesn't reach the century mark!!

[BigRedJed]

Sorry, swardboy, apparently the suckitude of the other thread by the same name has finally brought this smokingly kickass thread to a screeching halt. I need to merge them, so that there won't be any confusion.

The sheer awesomeness of this thread will overwhelm the suck of the other one, and it will once again achieve the lofty status it so recently enjoyed.

[BigRedJed]

Plus, football n00bs will be really confused when they read the merged version, so that should be fun to watch.

[BigRedJed]

MY EVIL EXPERIMENT LIVES!!! MUAHHAHAHAHAHA!!!

[BigRedJed]

Well, apparently the awesome thread is having a hard time overcoming full on fail of the other thread.

BREATH, THREAD!!

[soonerinabilene]

this thread needs some GDC. That would bring it back to life.

[BigRedJed]

Nah, there aren't any horns in here.

[soonerinabilene]

but it would then have every article that has ever been written about mike stoops posted in a nice quote box. And some that have nothing whatsoever to do with Mike Stoops.

[BigRedJed]

Good point. I'll see if we can unban him.

[BigRedJed]

Wait right here...

[soonerinabilene]

If you can pull that off, you would become the most powerful mod evar.

Mike would be much better of at AZ State. I was sad to see him go there. It is kind about the same as some one you like going to OK State.

Are you questioning Mike's judgementals?
