@CoachJayNorvell love how other players can have 5 drops & get a 2nd chance (re: jaz/txtech) and D can't get any breaks. PONIES u.
10:26pm - 30 Dec 11

Folks wonder why kids are leaving: coaches like @CoachJayNorvell trying to serve their own purpose. "my recruits are all playing".
10:30pm - 30 Dec 11
@CoachJayNorvell go ahead and play kids that disrespect u and fail drug tests instead of working hard. They deserve it.
11:19pm - 30 Dec 11
My son went to OU loving football. After OU---not quite the same. Seems like hard work = NOTHING. Thanks @CoachJayNorvell
3:27am - 31 Dec 11
@CoachJayNorvell Funny, after 4 years, you can't even say hello to a players mom at the banquet. You're a joke. Great gameplan vs Iowa.
3:32am - 31 Dec 11
And Now Tweeting OU Recruits:
@DorialGB5 and @5Live_DaShowOut good luck with that flakey *** coach at OU. @CoachJayNorvell can't be trusted.
3:35am - 31 Dec 11


What a drama team. Enough.

Sounds like Bomar's father. It's also a bit immature to tweet other players like that. I have a feeling that Travis Lewis' comments were spot on. Some felt entitled, or did not fit in well with the system. All in all the team is probably better off.

The typical response is to question the parent/player and that's what will happen here. And taken individually, that's what I would do too. But the sum of discontent from many players is worrisome. I enjoyed having J. Miller's father post here and he was always diplomatic and stated that he urged his son not to quit. But I thought his son was treated unfairly from what I could see publicly (I readily admit I don't know what goes on internally). The reps in fall camp and praise for J. Miller all seemed to indicate he was right up there with Finch and Clay behind Whaley, but the reps didn't come when the season started. Quitting like that was not rational, but people do irrational things if they don't think they are being treated fairly. Clearly, D Miller's dad did not think his son was treated fairly by Norvell and a parents impression is probably what he has been hearing from his son.

I believe all the transfers we see are partly cleaning house and partly some real issues with the staff, but we'll never know explicitly. But one thing I've see over the years is that the first words out of players on championship teams is that they all love each other like family and play for each other (players and coaches). That feeling starts with the coaches and I don't get that impression from this squad.

BTW, going on twitter like that was dumb*ss thing to do. I'm just not totally discounting the content just because it was poor form.

Can we ever be 100% sure? I think would have already seen "official" denials by now if they had been spoofed. One thing I am 100% sure of is that the company line that all the transfers are just from housecleaning of uncommitted players is a broad brush simplification to placate fans. I'm sure it is true for some players, but there's a lot more going on than that. We'll see by next season.

I wouldn't have heard squat. I have been busy since logging out after the Game last night. I just logged on here to see what's up and I see this POS Thread.

I think I'd like to wait a Day and see what's up.

Same as Cowboy MRW said that the entire Mendez thing was just a bunch of BS.....it's just as Suspicious that today we hear some BS about a Players Father Tweeting and his Son Responding.

I don't know about some of you but I do remember when some idiot that went by the name of Darth Husker released some story about Sam Bradford and cocaine. He later was found out to be a Texas Tech Fan posing as a Husker Fan and stirring up BS.

I have no problem with OU going with youth at that position late in the season. DeJuan never proved himself to be a difference maker. He had every opportunity to step up after Broyles was injured and it didn't happen.

My take is that parents have always been like this but they did not have a forum like Twitter to let the world know about it.

did miller even play last night? looking at the times of the tweets it was clearly after miller had no impact in the game so he vents (probably after his son vents to him). I've said it before, the "leaders" of this year's team did not fulfill that role starting with the tech game and it snoballed after that. i firmly believe that you will see much more leadership from next years team. my only concern is that a lot of guys would like Bell to have his shot. that's just speculating on my part so nothing really definitive there, just my take. but as far as miller's dad, his son's last game, he does nothing of any significance, and his dad is mad about it. as many of you have said, when you take to social media like that, it says more about you than who you are putting down...

If his son could catch the ball, maybe his tweet would be worth reading. It's not like they didn't try to throw the ball to the kid. But, what are you gonna do when he keeps dropping them.

NEWSFLASH TO MR. MILLER: The position is called "receiver" because you're supposed to catch the ball, i.e. "receive" it. It's not called "dropper."

12/31/2011, 10:15 PM
Miller did not work hard enough. Bad attitude from the get go probably. I mean Broyles is smaller and he worked hard and achieved greatly. Hell our great players they work hard and it shows on the field. Sam Bradford had talent but was not highly recruited because he didn't have the high numbers in HS. He worked hard in the weight room, the film room, and he translated that into excellent seasons. For some reason these guys get all pissed off because the ball is not going to them at all times. First of all this is a team sport and if anything this shows the attitude that Miller probably had going in. Kids tend to take on the attitudes of the parents and if the parents fill them full of BS on how great they are then they tend to feel entitled and get a bad attitude from not getting enough playing time. Hell Whaley earned his spot on the team and had to pay his own school bill. He desired to win and it translated to the field.

I think this exactly what Stoop's was talking about. I think he is right that a team with so much talent that was expected to be undefeated loses 3 times two of which were to bad teams shows that there was a lack of heart, leadership, and desire to put it out on the field. That gets looked at closer than our 8-4 season! As the season progressed the attitude rubbed off onto other players. All I can say is that Stoop's has always been consistant in kicking off the bad apples and getting the best players on the field. Perhaps these players forgot that all those that went before them that won a MNC worked their buts off to get what they achieved.

I find his tweets desperate and pathetic.

I don't have any firsthand knowledge of this nor do I pretend to, but there have been too many grumblings this year for something not to be horribly wrong in Norman. It's not just his dad, but a combination of things that have led me to believe this. Our performance on the field tends to justify that opinion.

Soonerfan88
1/1/2012, 04:09 AM
Yes, there is something to this. Helicopter parents living vicariously through their participant trophy kids are ruining every level of non-professional sports. From t-ball to college, parents are molding their little darlings into the cash cow, creating tremendous egos along the way. These kids have been taught little to no work ethic or respect for their team and coaches. It's all about Jr. making it to the pros and if that doesn't happen, it has to be someone else's fault.

In several interviews, Stoops has mentioned some were told scholarships would not be renewed because of issues with academics, drugs, or lack of participation in team activities (meetings, practice, workouts, film, etc). Don't remember if it was a player or just someone on a message board who said several on the team were upset that the coaches weren't playing the best athletes but instead rewarded those who worked the hardest. Why would this even be questioned? I don't care if you have the athletic skills of Jim Thorpe - if you think you are above the rules and can do whatever you want then you will be doing it somewhere other than on my team.

Having been a hs coach and having my son play hs baseball (he's a soph)...I can see both sides...

yes there are parents that really see their son's as all world...when in reality they are not...nor do they see the practice and locker room mentality their son's display...which can have an effect on their playing time.

on the other hand...my son is not your typical "rah rah" sports guy...very calm and relaxed demeanor...but his hs coach loves the "rah rah" guys...1 kid in particular strikes out pretty regularly...nothing is said to him...other kids..(not my son) strike out and get a butt chewing...hence this is on a pretty bad team... Hopefully D1 college coaches are past the "good ol boy" network and don't have favorites...but it's possible. Obviously coaches like kids that work hard and are team players...I've never seen or heard anything different from Miller...but I'm just a fan.

I think ANY dad would be a little frustrated that their son didn't get a lot of playing time in 4 yrs at college...if they were good enough to get a scholly..(where were is other offers?) but ya also have to put some of that on your son....(I'm always pushing my son to work hard..that will make a difference, he's suppose to pitch this yr instead of catch...but if ya don't throw nothing will help)..

Is there? Have you seen the stats for kids who leave every year? I do believe jkm threw those out last week. I had no idea it was the coaches fault we had so many crucial injuries this season. Perhaps more parents should tweet away about injuries and kids flunking out. meh.

Not all of us are ignoring this - the accumulative amount of this stuff is worrisome to me. I'm not going to believe any 1 player or dad, but good teams share an emotion bond - including bench players. If that is lacking, a team will never reach it's potential. But what are you gonna do as a fan? Just hope there's really nothing to it or hope it's being addressed. If it's just a few vocal players, then the turnover will fix it. If there is a staff problem and the staff doesn't change (or at least change their MO), then we'll see the same stuff with the next group of players.

For all you guys just blowing this off as another disgruntled dad pissed about his son's playing time...do you really think there is nothing to this? I don't have any firsthand knowledge of this nor do I pretend to, but there have been too many grumblings this year for something not to be horribly wrong in Norman. It's not just his dad, but a combination of things that have led me to believe this. Our performance on the field tends to justify that opinion.

Sure this would make sense, if dejuan Miller could separate himself from the defenders, and if he could catch the ball. The guy (despite me wanting to use the beast mode photoshop i made really bad) did not perform.

Miller is a disappointing player. Great upside and no production. So when the outcry came from his parents, the outcry is nullified because the player didn't perform. It doesn't matter who played in stead of Miller. He personally did not perform. He need not worry about anybody else, but himself.

To this day, Ou coaches have never benched a good player, or a star player. Sadly Miller was neither good, nor a star.

Who is DeJuan Miller?

A guy whom we knighted as beast mode due to his upside, and he was never beat mode, or just mode.

This whole thread reminds me of conversations I have with my kids many times over.

While I love and cherish them, I will never ever live my life vicariously through them. When I push for them to excel, it is because I love them and want them to have the best that life has to offer. When I was younger, I decided early on that I was going to go to school, make good grades and have a professional career. You know what? I did just that. Graduated top of my class, got academic schollys, have a great career. None of it came for free and I worked my *** off to get there.

When I look at my own children, I long for them to also make straight A's and succeed. Not so I can have one of those retarded bumper stickers, or I can brag to everyone I know, but because I know how satisfying and wonderful it is to set a goal and succeed at life. Right now, I'm dealing with an 18yo son who is okay with sliding by on the seat of his pants and who considers actually showing up for class as a great and wonderful sacrifice. You know what? He barely scraped a C in his college algebra class and probably deserved to flunk if the amount of effort I saw was any kind of indication.

You're not going to see me tweeting anybody bitching about my son's average grade. Quite honestly, I think he got more than he deserved.... substandard effort got an average grade. Hopefully he'll get his head outta his *** some day, but in the meantime, I ain't gonna get my panties in a wad over it.

Rap music sucks, too.Rapper's Delight Lyrics

i got bodyguards, i got two big cars

i got a lincoln continental and a sunroof cadillac
so after school, i take a dip in the pool
which really is on the wall
i got a color tv so i can see
the knicks play basketball

but i wouldnt give a sucker or a bum from the rucker

ya start poppin ya fingers and stompin your feet
and movin your body while youre sittin in your seat
and the damn ya start doin the freak
i said damn, right outta your seat
then ya throw your hands high in the air

ya rockin to the beat without a care
with the sureshot m.c.s for the affair

but i rap to the beat just the same

i said a hip hop the hippie the hippie
to the hip hip hop, a you dont stop
rock it out baby bubbah to the boogie da bang bang
the boogie to the boogie da beat

i said i cant wait til the end of the week
when im rappin to the rhythm of a groovy beat
and attempt to raise your body heat
just blow your mind so that you cant speak
and do a thing but a rock and shuffle your feet
and let it change up to a dance called the freak
and when ya finally do come in to your rhythmic beat
rest a little while so ya dont get weak
i know a man named hank
he has more rhymes than a serious bank
so come on hank sing that song
to the rhythm of the boogie da bang bang da bong

well, im imp the dimp the ladies pimp
the women fight for my delight
but im the grandmaster with the three mcs
that shock the house for the young ladies
and when you come inside, into the front
you do the freak, spank, and do the bump
and when the sucker mcs try to prove a point

we're treacherous trio, we're the serious joint
a from sun to sun and from day to day
i sit down and write a brand new rhyme
because they say that miracles never cease
i've created a devastating masterpiece
i'm gonna rock the mike til you cant resist
everybody, i say it goes like this
well i was comin home late one dark afternoon
a reporter stopped me for a interview
she said she's heard stories and she's heard fables
that i'm vicious on the mike and the turntables
this young reporter i did adore
so i rocked a vicious rhyme like i never did before
she said damn fly guy im in love with you
the casanova legend must have been true
i said by the way baby what's your name
said i go by the name of lois lane
and you could be my boyfiend you surely can
just let me quit my boyfriend called superman
i said he's a fairy i do suppoose
flyin through the air in pantyhose
he may be very sexy or even cute
but he looks like a sucker in a blue and red suit
i said you need a man who's got finesse
and his whole name across his chest
he may be able to fly all through the night
but can he rock a party til the early light
he cant satisfy you with his little worm
but i can bust you out with my super sperm
i go do it, i go do it, i go do it, do it , do it
an i'm here an i'm there i'm big bang hank, im everywhere
just throw your hands up in the air
and party hardy like you just dont care
let's do it dont stop yall a tick a tock yall you dont stop

To this day, Ou coaches have never benched a good player, or a star player. Sadly Miller was neither good, nor a star.

I don't think that's very true as they didn't invite Ronnell to the Bowl Game and during the Season he and some others were sat down for not going to class, breaking Team Rules etc...

I think where Miller's Dad may have went wrong, if it was really him that is, is that if he's mad ay Jay Norvell at the way he Coached his Son....it's really up to DeJuan to overcome it all and look to find a way to be a force to be reckoned with. At all our Home Games this year Jay Norvell was down on the field with arm pads warming up the WRs lightly and talking to them, getting them loose and pumping them up. He seemed to have a really good relationship with all the players so I am really shocked to see these accusations come to pass. It's why I think it's all a bunch of BS.

Bob has even gone as far as releasing Bomar for things that not only were wrong but things that could have led to us really getting slammed like SUC did. Many of us Fans remember the NCAA Death Sentence that SMU got and the problems The King had. It's all we had to really gauge what kind of damage we might receive from the NCAA. Would OU get treated bad while SUC's investigation went 6-9 months? Who knew the NCAA would start letting up on Teams? The answer is - NOBODY. I surely hate to see anymore of this dirty laundry stuff float out to message boards. It's all a bunch of BS. Like I brought up with the whole Darth Husker thing....these games are huge money and if you think you can whistle blow or complain over your twitter account...I'd bet you would be wrong. Many folks here have voiced their opinions about Mr. Miller and his Son but in reality....the stuff that floated out via Twitter is gone and there really isn't anything to talk about other than DeJuan had 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 to prove that he was more than a valuable member of our WR Corp. I saw him have a few decent games and it was unfortunate that he had a knee injury. He never seemed to really put that behind him and he fell into the backup role of our WR Corp. DeJuan is a Senior and it's unfortunate he doesn't have another year to try to over come the problems he seems to have had here.

I wish him well and I hope he finished his degree.

Toss out whatever little "He Sucks" comments you want but he's only been here 2 years and I think I'd like to wait one or two more years before we start with the "FIRE NORVELL!!!" Threads.

Isn't Dejuan Miller a Norvell recruit (c/o 2008?)?

I liked DM, but his time came and went at OU. He never became more than a quality backup. That's okay, some are just better than others. At least he's not sticking up for the tweeter nonsense.

DeJuan is a good kid. And really, how is what his father said on twitter any different than most of the little league/high school dads act nowadays. I went to some of my nephew's games last year and I was embarrassed by the behavior of some of the parents, and I could tell that their sons were as well.

I think it's maybe timing that made it kind of get some legs. Bob had basically just come out with a STFU and get to work Statement and then some Seniors Dad supposedly goes off on Twitter after his Son got a degree and some PT for 4 years. DeJuan can still go get some help and workouts and prepare for Combines if he can get an invitation and if not....he can go and try to walkon in the NFL.....get an agent and even go play in Europe and try to get some experience/notice. Life isn't over unless he listens to his Dad.

After college he became a write for the hip hop magazine called "The Source", he eventually became the President of the company.. I think he left the company and the family moved to Tulsa a couple years ago. He's married dejauns mom and adopted him when he was a little kid.. His dad is actually a white dude

This stuff is reason why I am getting so thoroughly annoyed with college athletics and ready to dump them like I did pro sports. This crap is BS, playing football or any other sport at the University level, should not be the next level to the pro's. It SHOULD be the next level to critical thinking and a job or career for life. NFL football is not a career, it is an entertainment entity that takes young people, chews them up and spits them out a few years later for the sake of TV and fans that spend lots of money for entertainment. Parents that think they won the lottery by getting their kids to the pros are disgusting...This dad is childish.

Since you brought this up, LA Times had a feature on how Blake Griffin does not have groupies or a posse and said that his family has kept him grounded and they are his inner circle, not the typical hanger-ons you see in the pros a lot.

When they talked about his parents and asked what he's given them, he said he sent them a Kia (after the dunk I think) and then he proceeded to make fun of his dad for texting a thank-you back, saying that it probably took him like an hour to tap it out :D Apparently he also gave them a big TV so they could watch him play even though he's out in LA now, which his mom apparently liked... but they haven't asked for a big house or tons of money or anything.
