After the recent failure of the "get chicken from mom" incentive program comes... CANDY!

Link (http://www.tulsaworld.com/sportsextra/OSU/article.aspx?subjectid=93&articleid=20100927_93_0_STILLW161511)


McGee has also earned Butterfinger and Snickers bars for coming up with the ball in practice, as part of the bonus system put in place by Young after he took charge of OSU's defense before last season.

what. the. ****.

next thing you know they'll have a poster with all the players' names on it and award gold stars and silver stars and **** like everyone else did in the 3rd grade... which is right around the education level of a poke football player, so i guess it kinda makes sense.

NCAA: Did your coaches give you candy?

Dez: No.

NCAA: Are you lying?

Dez: Ummm... isn't that one of those questions to which there can be no answer?

NCAA: Right... um... did you lie a moment ago when you said that you did not accept candy from your coaches?

Dez: Yes.

NCAA: BANNED FOR LYING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll laugh when diet oklahoma starts giving up big plays because the defense is going for the candy rather than just making the tackle.

This begs the question - how long has OSU had this incentive program in place?

If they eat too many candy bars, won't they get heartbroken 'cause some kid teased them because they're fat? [hairGel]

"Coach, you said we would get candy! You didn't say anything about winning the game! I want my Snickers!"

All joking aside! This is extra benefits and a performance reward. Where do you draw the line? Haha!

The players are also told that they don't have to eat their veggies.

If they lose to us this year, those players may want to take their candy to the police station for x-raying.

It's possible, there are rolled up $20 bills inside each one

Well, you know they won't give them rings... unless there's a ring for "Big 12 South Second Place... right ahead of the Gooners, hehehehehehe"

It's even been a few years since they've won a bowl game - which, yes, we can now point out, because we won ours last season :D

You see, as OU fans we're smart enough to realize we need work.

Pokes are clueless.

Have you seen their defense play? I don't even think t-bone would pay for that.
