Gerald McCoy makes the Pro Bowl

[Sooner in Tampa]

Congrats are in order for GMC

[8timechamps]

Awesome.

I was having an "argument" with my 13 year old son (who apparently knows everything there is to know about everything), and he said "I think Gerald McCoy is a bust". Keep in mind that he only pays attention to the Broncos, and we were recently having a conversation about NFL busts, so he really doesn't have a clue. I told him McCoy was an awesome DT, and that he shouldn't say such things about a Sooner...his response was "has he been in a Pro Bowl?". Being a moron, and "arguing" with a 13 year old, I said "He will be, this year!". Glad I'm covered.

Oh, and good for Gerald!

You Must keep in mind you are only gonna get Stupider for the next 8 years or so.

You Must keep in mind you are only gonna get Stupider for the next 8 years or so.

Of course. I have a 17 year old that reminds me.

It's amazing how smart they are! NOT!

[Sooner in Tampa]

Trent Williams and Adrian Peterson also made it

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

What's the fascination with Denver? Manning? meh. I don't see any Sooner credentials there

[VA Sooner]

Quinton Carter is there... but got hurt and has been on IR.

[olevetonahill]

Of course. I have a 17 year old that reminds me.

It's amazing how smart they are! NOT!

But as they take their places in society They gonna be amazed at how smart you have gotten in just a few short years

There was a certain poster around here several years ago who was a student at OU at the time. She acted like that and I remember telling her that I wished I was still in college so I could know everything.

Edit: I just checked and she's no longer registered here. Weird.

Does the owner of the team count?

[bluedogok]

Quinton Carter is there... but got hurt and has been on IR.
Jeremy Beal is on IR with the Broncos as well.

[OkieThunderLion]

Trent Williams and Adrian Peterson also made it

Gresham too. Just not announced yet. He's 1st alternate and Heath Miller has a torn ACL.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Does the owner of the team count?Sure. But, it's trumped by the St Louis Fighting Sam Bradfords, The Dallas DeMarco's Boys, and the Minnesota AD's. (I don't know anythging about the ownership of the Broncos, or owners of many of the pro teams)

[badger]

AD and Trent were selected too!

[kevpks]

Gerald was in the middle of a radio interview when the rosters were announced. When the host told him, he got really emotional and was speechless. He then talked about following God's plan for his life and what a tremendous honor it is to receive the votes of his peers and the fans. It was really good stuff and I'm happy for him after his first two seasons ended with injuries.

His comments on Ronde Barber being named an alternate were also hilarious: "Ronde is 97 years old! That guy is amazing."

[Soonerjeepman]

Awesome.

I was having an "argument" with my 13 year old son (who apparently knows everything there is to know about everything),

LOL...no doubt, try a 17 yr old. I'm about ready to open a can of whipass on him~

he's actually a pretty good kid but seriously he KNOWS EVERYTHING..

[badger]

Ya Don't say :encouragement:

I'm complaining about the thread title, not you... even if you guys did leave the Packers' division, taking our easy annual wins over you with you :P

Ah well, it's a tradeoff: We get to still beat the Lions twice, and you guys don't. :D

[8timechamps]

What's the fascination with Denver? Manning? meh. I don't see any Sooner credentials there

We live in Denver, and have season tickets. It's really hard to live here and not be a Bronco fan (as I found out when I moved here), and my son was born here, so it's all he knows.

[SicEmBaylor]

King Griffin III made it.

No, no one could forget her name.

[colleyvillesooner]

I guess i did. What did it rhyme with?

Awww....Badger...you are living with in a fantasy world filled with false memories

The Bucs have beaten the Packers 4 of the last 6 times we met 02, 05, 08, and 09.

And when we were still dancing twice a year, we split the last four seasons -- 98, 99, 00, 01

So all in all, we have done pretty well against the Pack...I really do miss the Battle of the Bays!

I remember when we called you guys "Tampa" like everyone else does on our scoreboard. You all apparently were offended because we were just "Green" the next time we went to your pirate ship. :P

Sure. But, it's trumped by the St Louis Fighting Sam Bradfords, The Dallas DeMarco's Boys, and the Minnesota AD's. (I don't know anythging about the ownership of the Broncos, or owners of many of the pro teams)
There was an article on the Denver Post website yesterday about Jeremy Beal's status with the team after knee surgery.

Denver Post - Where are Broncos' Ty Warren, Jason Hunter and Jeremy Beal? (http://www.denverpost.com/broncos/ci_22264726/where-are-broncos-ty-warren-jason-hunter-and)

The Pat Bowlen/OU connection has been brought up after Mike Shanahan (former Sooner Offensive Assistant Coach in 1975) and Josh McDaniels were fired and him possibly going after Bob Stoops as Head Coach of the Broncos.

From the Pat Bowlen Wiki page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pat_Bowlen).

Bowlen attended the University of Oklahoma and earned degrees in business (1965) and law (1968).

[nutinbutdust]

HaH! You'd better watch out Badger, AD was on the news and said he would be in the playoffs after the Vikes beat Green Bay on Sunday and wouldn't be at the Pro Bowl.

[jkjsooner]

Awesome.

Oh, and good for Gerald!

I remember being 11 or so and saying the same about Billy Sims. My cousin set me straight. I really thought Sims was going to bust 80 yard runs every game like he did at OU. Didn't understand the difference between college and the NFL.

[badger]

HaH! You'd better watch out Badger, AD was on the news and said he would be in the playoffs after the Vikes beat Green Bay on Sunday and wouldn't be at the Pro Bowl.

Yeeeeahhhh, it was a worst-case scenario yesterday --- AD didn't get the record AND the Packers lost :(

I am sure some Sooner fans who are also NFL fans can relate --- you want Sooner alums to do well, but what if that conflicts with your own NFL team doing well?

So basically, I was yelling at the Vikings every time they tried to gain yardage without giving AD the ball (especially when they were handing off to Toby Gerhart... COME ON! WHAT is the point?!)... and then getting doubly upset when they were successful with it.

Anyways, if the Packers can't win the Super Bowl, I hope a team with at least one Sooner does.

[Bourbon St Sooner]

Trent Williams and Adrian Peterson also made it

Trent Williams made a Pro Bowl? I guess you get a lot better when you've got a qb that's lightning quick back there. Either that or he quit taking plays off. Good for Trent.

And now he's in the playoffs :)

But yes, I agree that it's easier to block for an RG3-type than a Rex Grossman type.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

meh...The All Pro team is the one that matters..McCoy should make it, but I'm not sure on Williams.

Sorry Badg, but here's hoping there's another worst case scenario this weekend (not including the OU game). Go Vikes - my adopted team for this year's playoffs.

[badger]

There's 12 teams in the playoffs... can't you adopt another?

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Oh, I'm taking note all right. I will save this for future use here when a Sooner player runs as a Democrat for office.

Sooners come before political affiliation, Rush :P

Sooners come before political affiliation, Rush :Pof course not. You made that one up. for example, Switzer is FOS on politics. You should please note that politics and football are quite different. Sooner Football is Football.

[badger]

politics and football are quite different.
Oh? Then why is there a political football? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_football)

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Oh? Then why is there a political football? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_football)Well, there is such a thing as punting, when it comes time to make political decisions.

It is a case of politics meddling into the world of football.

OK, I glanced at the link. Bottom line: the Packers are, if for no other reason, NOT a favored team by this Sooner fan, due to insufficient Sooner representation, esp. when compared with The Vikings, and our all-pro Sooner Running Back. GO FIGHTIN' AD's!!!

[BoulderSooner79]

of course not. You made that one up. for example, Switzer is FOS on politics. You should please note that politics and football are quite different. Sooner Football is Football.

Politics has become just like football. Homers pick their teams and support them beyond any semblance of reason.

[SoonerShay]

So true, it's sad as hell too.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Politics has become just like football. Homers pick their teams and support them beyond any semblance of reason.in the case of Socialists, that's correct.


P.S. don't blame RLimc!, Badger, for this thread swerving into the deadly serious rhealm of Politics.

[badger]

Meh, this board has been kind of dead lately, so perhaps some politics will liven it up.

There has been a lack of football news, though, so can't fault the dead board for that.

7 NFL Coaches were fired.

I added the NFL firings to the coaching change thread, since it's quite possible that college coaches will be NFL opening targets.

Is this one of those dead times where rumors like "Bob Stoops to Cleveland" get started just to pass time"

[StoopTroup]

Bob to San Diego? :D

[8timechamps]

7 NFL Coaches were fired.

Crazy day in the NFL.

Is 7 a record for firings? It has to be close. I really didn't think some of the teams that fired their coaches would have pulled the trigger (KC, Philly and SD). I do think that every coach that got fired was deserving.

I'm honestly not sure why the Cowboys haven't let Garrett go. Seems like a team with a lot of talent that under-performs annually.

[Seamus]

Jesus. Can't escape politics even on the football board.

****ing FAIL.

[StoopTroup]

We are bored as hell.

What is amazing is how many GM's were let go as well.

Dallas had a ton of injuries this year, starting in training camp. They were signing guys off practice squads and guys who hadn't played all year towards the end of the season. It was amazing that they even had a chance to win the division at the end of the season. It really doesn't matter who is coaching the Cowboys until the GM fires himself and gets a legitimate GM hired into the position.

[BoulderSooner79]

The only one that surprised me was Lovie Smith. I can't believe KC hasn't the GM yet as their whole org is in disarray.

EDIT: oops, sorry for the subject change. Though I was in the black Monday thread for a second. :P

Dallas seems to still be dealing with the fallout from the collapse of their indoor training center. I wonder if that kind of had something to do with letting the GM go?
