Stoops is on now!

The media's word of the morning is "belldozer" so far

[cleller]

So far, Bob seems pretty tolerant.

An Austin spy asked about experienced O-line and reliable RB and if that would be a factor in eating clock more instead of up-tempo all the time.

Mostly QB questions though. Bob making sure to emphasize that it's not Blake's job yet and talking about other QB's strengths (even said Trevor and Kendall are faster than Blake)

[badger]

Bob's playing with his fingers a lot by the mic. Talking targeting now

[badger]

Final question was on if his wife was in town for Mary Kay convention. Said they all should get their wives involved: "I'm recruiting!"

lol

[Mjcpr]

What is he doing with his fingers now?

Dumb question. We are loaded at RB.

[badger]

Dumb question. We are loaded at RB.

I was disappointed in the questions. It was almost as if the media was withholding make-bob-angry questions till the season.

Does he have them trained well or what? ;)

[picasso]

We know Trevor timed the best 40.
I'm pretty happy with offensive skill positions.
I'm afraid they will have to carry us once again.

Media days are a bore when you have Bob or Saban or Meyer. They aren't going to answer anything interesting and the press is too terrified of them to ask.

Now, a Mike Leach, in contrast, would take a question on the health of his running back's knees and suddenly we'd be getting a tutorial on the sartorial splendor of Calico Jack and the pirates of the Galveston coast in 1700 with a special focus on their footwear punctuated by little known facts regarding socks of the early Enlightenment.

All whilst sipping the finest esspresso in the salon.

Now, a Mike Leach, in contrast

For anyone that's curious, Pac 12 media day is Friday (http://blog.pac-12.com/2013-pac-12-football-media-day-attendees-set/).

Also, Dana is now talking about Leach (http://www.big12sports.com/mediaPortal/player.dbml?catid=0)

Is that last year's co-Big 12 ring on his finger?

The biggest story out of Stoops' presser seems to be the question out of how appreciated he feels. Here's a DMN link (http://collegesportsblog.dallasnews.com/2013/07/oklahomas-bob-stoops-still-feels-appreciated-by-some.html/)


“Yes, I do feel appreciated by our fans, administration and everybody,” he said. “I’ve never been appreciated by everybody, even in 2000 [after the national title]. So not everyone’s going to ‑‑ that’s always going to be the case, and any time you’ve been somewhere 15 years, that’s something to consider.”
