IT vs NOT IT

[SoonerinSouthlake]

For This my 1000th post
Id like to say...despite my sarcastic posts on other threads:
1. I still think Bob is one of the top coaches in all of football. and While I doubt he has lost the fire to win...If he has I'll still take him over pretty much any coach in college football
2. Im happy Mike is back...I believe he will make the defense better eventually and believe he and Bob together are gold.
3. The Horse Pigs arent THAT bad
4. I still cant find the invisible thread...somebody PM me please
5. Thank God Mack Brown is the Coach of the whorns
6.. I totally believe in the "IT factor"

The IT factor matters more in college football than almost any other sport. And having a QB that has IT is the difference between a great season and a disappointing season.
IT factor is---turning 3rd and long into a 1st down.
IT factor is a drive at the end of the half to put points on the board
IT factor is when EVERYONE in the crowd has the feeling with 3 minutes to go and the Sooners are down by 10 that there is a magical moment coming

Seems to me since 2000 we go every other QB with it factor

Josh-IT
Nate NOT IT
Jason IT
Paul/Car Dealership Boy NOT IT
Sam IT
Landry....sadly....NOT IT


I know, all of those guys on the list are great athletes. And there isnt a one of them, that I wouldnt buy a steak dinner for what they did for Sooner Football,

Im going to get plenty of grief over this thread as I always do. There are Plenty of Nate supporters and as many people who will tell me about Landrys records. But you all know how you feel when the game is on the line and the IT guys in my list have the ball compared to the NOT ITS

As Ive said before I cant REALLY define IT. But its like Pornography... I cant define it, but I know it when i see it.

I just pray the next guy is an IT guy.

Thanks all for your support during my first 1000 posts. God Bless you all. And May God Bless the Unites States of America


BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMER!

ENA had IT. Don't hate.

ENA had IT. Don't hate.

I love ENA..
But he "dint" have IT.

If ENA had IT...his very first play as a starter would have been a perfectly thrown long ball to a streaking wide open wide receiver vs. TCU. Instead of a TD, to start the game/season he and the offense struggled leading Bob to put a frosh QB in the game

THAT IS EXACTLY MY POINT

[sooneron]

Yay! you. You don't have IT. Most programs almost NEVER have a guy that has IT. ENA had IT when we drove the ball 99 yards without Peterson against Neb in the Big 12 champ game. Plz STFU.Your memory :succs:

did you ever believe we were a contender for # 8 with ENA?
Me neither
bite me

...and Neither did Bob...which was why ENA was replaced after 1 half of the first game of the season. DO YOU REMEMBER THAT?

I'm not gonna bag on you, SoonerinSouthlake, but gotta disagree, too: Thompson was a champ. The guy had fewer tools than some of the other guys on the list and fewer opportunities than just about all of them, but he was a bag of Boise St. trick plays away from having accomplished more than (or at least as much as) any of the other guys apart from Josh. The Drive alone would have to qualify him as an "It" guy.

[sooneron]

Thompson didn't have nearly enough pieces to win more than the Big 12 that year. Yet, that team overcame HUGE odds and won the conference. "people" like you will never get "it". It was considered a surprise due to Bomar (probably a person MUCH like you) being kicked off the team.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

If you play on a team not dependent on great QB play, IT is not a factor..in 2000, heupel threw 20 TDs and 15 picks.. he made the right play when he had to but it wasn't his IT factor. This team has evolved to the point it all depends on QB play and its put them in a bad place.

[goingoneight]

By "IT," we're referring to a great surrounding cast that makes plays for you. Still can't understand why people think football is a one man game. Landry didn't have a great game tonight. We get it. You know who else played horribly inconsistent? Everyone around him. Landry's missed TD to Moose was Kenny Stills giving up on a route that would've moved the chains. Landry's fumble TD was because four guys ran untouched through OU's OL to corral him. Bad play on everyone. Sterling Shepard was the only bright spot out there tonight, folks. Period.

You really are ****ing cluesless.

Yay, let's hear it for the self entitled dbag from southlack carrol!!! woot! Pls don't have any kids. There are enough worthless ****s out there thinking they are owed jobs because their daddy's think they're all that.


DUDE.. Stop drinking, or go to anger management.

your points are valid. and as Ive said......love ENA.

IMHO he didnt have what that ability to make special plays happen like Josh/Jason/Sam had. But IM happy to give him props for being a tremendous player.

I guess I should spend more time watching football and posting on websites to truly understand what you know Ron

after all .... a guy who has time to make 24000 posts on a web site clearly has not only the wisdom to tell me whats up about football...but can give clarity to my and my family's social status based on a post about Paul Thompson and my user name.

I apologize, what I said was not cool. Post edited. I got out of hand last night. The thing is, Landry has shown moments of IT. Florida State and Baylor for instance. The offense was the only thing that kept us in the baylor game last year.

[S.PadreIsl.Sooner]

Thompson had "It"!

Team was decimated with injuries that year. No one expected a BCS Bowl. Thompson showed off-the-chart leadership!
