Perhaps because it is human nature?
Some people choose to vent in different ways I suppose. I wouldn't paint an entire fan base based on the opinions you read on a message board...

I'm guessing that some just want to vent. Others feel the need to reconfirm the fact that they will always be OU fans. It is a mixed bag and certainly no reason to put down first time posters as bandwagon fans.
Many of us read this board and don't post because we really can't add much to the discussion during offseason because we aren't close to the coaches or players.
LEAVE the Newbs alone.
Now, if these newbs were trash talking before the game and finger pointing after the game, let them have it! If they are saying bad things about the OU student athletes representing our school, may fire and brimstone rain down on their heads.
The coaches, on the other hand, are paid professionals. They should take responsibility and not throw the student athletes under the bus as an excuse. I'm not saying that they are doing that. I just hate to see the finger pointing when some of these kids are doing their best.

I'll agree there, I was very disappointed when Stoops didnt take the credit for the loss:mad: Wheneve we lost when I played my coach was always first to take the blame the performance on the field is a direct representation of the coaching staff in every sport!!

I guess you are the only one allowed on the board because you joined at a certain time?
I have been posting on OU forums on the internet for years. I have been a lurker reading on these forums for a year, I have been an active name and forum member for months on here, and I chose today to post. It was very positive as well.
Why do you get to decide who gets to come, go, or stay?

How can you tell? So, these first time posting OU bandwagon fans are flaming? I can see some fans flaming if they did the trash talking before.
As long as nobody flames our student athletes, then I'm okay with it. That is not to say that I approve.

I haven't posted much, only from time to time but, I have been on here quite a while. I like to read more than post. I would have more posts but my computer crashed four hears ago so I scrapped my old user name of nittanysooner and started a new one with a new computer. Just because I don't post much or others don't post much, to me, doesn't make them a bandwagon fan. Maybe they are doing something other than spending time on a computer.

Because contrary to your earlier assertion, you didn't just ask a simple question. Your post was filled with implicit criticism that you then made explicit when you said "Shame on you!!" at the end. Like the others trying to defend themselves, I've been here for years, mostly for recruiting news, and I can't add anything to that discussion because I have no connections to coaches, players, or prospects. Hence, no posts. Signed up well before the game without realizing I'd have to wait a week before I was authorized to post anything.
"New to soonerfans" does not equal "new Sooner fan." What you're calling guilt is more likely bristling at having Sooner loyalty called into question just because they're new to an internet site. We're all on the same team here. Well... except for Lid. ;)

I've been a die-hard fan since 1978. I post mostly during the season, and mostly after losses; the very time when most issues are ripe for discussion. I find there isn't really much to say after the standard 50-point blowout. The blowouts generally speak for themselves.
Unfortunately, I have also noticed some extreme hubris in many of the "veteran" posters. Often, but not always, there is an inverse relationship between the number of times a person posts and the quality of their contributions. Hence many, not all, of the people with 10,000+ posts (often with screen names of a former player or coach) consistently say some of the stupidest things. These are usually the people who are not just fans, but fanatics. Their whole identity is so intimately tied to OU football that they cannot brook any criticism of the program from other serious OU fans who happen to have other balances in their lives.
Further, many don't post during spring practice or August practices, because they realize that what really matters is what happens on the field during the game. Case in point, consider what Coach Wilson led us to believe about the offensive line the past few weeks, verses what actually showed up on the field yesterday.

You can keep preaching that bull**** but I've poured over last nights game and your just flat wrong about the O-line.
Tear your heart off your sleeve and go back and watch the game again.
There are some you never from until we lose and then they are over the board with game plans and saying all the coaches should be fired. One even said Stoops should move on. Others said the D scheme's were bad and they wouldn't know a D scheme from third base.

Last night I watched the game with one of my best friends. He was a 2 year starter at qb at both NEO then NSU. Prior to that he was on full academic scholarship at the Air Force Academy, then left after he was told that his eyesight was not sharp enough to be a pilot.
Of all his running commentary, what I remember most was him saying over and over, "Why aren't they picking up that delayed blitz? It keeps coming from the same guy in the same the spot."
Even if I didn't have the benefit of his insight, it wasn't hard to deduce for myself that the o-line was a big problem.
Who else should be blamed for the procedure penalties, the holding penalties, and Sam Bradford on his backside? the punter?
Here you are, you always show up. I am a defender and you are a critic.
Please don't say I don't ever see anything wrong. The OC called two horrible scheme's in the championship game but generally our coaches do a good job.
Are you following me around again just to criticize.

Sam Bradford on his backside is actually a combination of Sam and Trents fault.. Sam was supposed to throw to the hot read since he had more blitzers than blockers coming from his "HOT SIDE" football term. And Trent picks up the looper instead of the penatrator on the blitz O-line terms..(2nd guy instead of 1st guy) Sad mistake for an All-American Left Tackle, that comes down to coaching honestly you run drills like this against blitz pick up periods in practice

She/He has talked many times about their "inside sources". Remember that 40 times thread where I posted the times and then Ashley comes in saying they are bogus and she said a coach said they didn't run 40's and then like a month later they come out. I wouldn't believe anything that comes out of His/Her mouth.

Was it Sam Bradford or the center's fault for the SIX penalties accumulated by Cory Brandon? For the three false starts in the first offensive series?

Both CK and Curly are loudmouths. Very easy for them to talk big behind the keyboard. Neither would have the stones to be so bold face to face. You could give them a time and place to meet and they wouldn't show. If they did, they'd come with a gun or knife, because they are too light in the *** to back their mouth up with their fists.
Again....look at how many posts they have. What sort of normal, well adjusted person with a productive life has time to accumulate all those posts?
