Even the most "ardent pumpers" should begin to see that the luster is leaving Bob Stoops time at OU.This is nothing new, it happened to Bud, Barry, Darrel Royal, Bear Bryant, Woody Hayes, and is happening to Mack Brown now. To Macks credit, he has made changes in the coaching staff with uncertain results.
It would be great to think that next year will bring different results, but right now that is hard to imagine. We will have basically have the same players and the incoming class, if the committments hold, will probably only help at wide outs. Next year the Conference might be ever tougher. OSU will probably drop off some, but Texas, KSU, Baylor ( depending on RGIII), and ISU could be better. WE also have to play TT in Lubbock. Adding TCU brings a team that lost 20 senoirs fron the Rose BOwl team, but still had a good year. If WVU is added thye will be a good team. Reason for optimism????
