I read this as kind of like "I will kick your arse if you lay a finger on either of my sons or daughter." :D

His actual words were very Stoopsesque, though:


“I think it’s just always, regardless of circumstances, children should be protected at all costs by adults,” Stoops said. “And I’m not accusing, because a lot of this hasn’t been confirmed or a lot of this hasn’t been . . . convicted, prosecuted, whatever. I would just say if any of this is true, it’s absolutely horrific.

“And if anyone could have done anything about it — again, I say if — if anyone could have done something about it and knew, then it’s also horrific. And my initial thoughts, my focus when I think about it, it’s always centered on the children first. How this unfolds, we’ll see. But to me, that’s where everybody’s (thoughts), if any of it is true, it should be to them.”

He also talks about all the d@mn late games, coming off a bye week in practice RG3, etc.

It's ludicrous the amount of night games the guys had to play this year.

I don't mean to feed the jackass, but this did make me chuckle a little.

Yes it's funny because there's such a correlation between what Stoops was talking about and our losing to Tech.
That was a knee slapper.

More of a correlation than the thread title. He was afterall talking about OU football and specifically this season.

The only thing that has me uptight about the Tech loss is your non-Sooner fan attitude. Go buy some freakin orange clothes.

Probably safe to assume that OU coaches would have handled it differently. Could you imagine say, Heupel, seeing this? The reactions of he and Stoops would have been very different than what happened at Penn St, I believe.

you seem to have a great deal of trouble getting over this - perhaps professional counseling may be helpful

Off topic but kind of funny.

My wife and I are in the process of becoming licensed foster parents. Last night we attended a class on the effects of childhood trauma, and up on the board was a graphic of the "stages of grief." Shock, anger, bargaining, despair/depression, acceptance. All I could think of the whole time was how dead-on (except for bargaining, I suppose) it was relative to my experience of watching the Tech game and the hours that followed. And then how many posters on this board are still stuck with one foot in anger and the other in depression.

JoePa doesn't seem to have any friends among the coaches. No statements of "I think the situation is terrible, but I support Joe in this difficult time", or phone calls to Joe.

I wonder how much he was liked among his colleagues.

I believe South Park did a parody of foster parents. It's called "Poor Kids". Marty reminds me of Cartman.

Did you see the one last night with the DHS worker that wouldn't quit with the Penn State jokes?

That's cause all his "colleagues" died like 20 years ago....

If JoePa had a nickel for every Penn State game he's coached he'd be 84 years old now.

Bargaining = "maybe Tech isn't really that bad", "food poisoning","injuries"

Wonder if his comment about "the Jackie Sherrils and Barry Switzers of the world" is indicative of him treating all of the people in his industry that they were a couple of notches lower than he on a "integrity scale". And now its biting him in the butt
