Charles Thompson just called in the Sports Animal

[PhiDeltBeers]

Any of you guys catch it? He was very classy, but made it known that he wants his son to get a chance. He don't think Stoops and company will do it though. He also said Kendall believes he's the best QB on the team.

They also mention Switzer said Knight and Thompson should get all snaps next week. Interesting that some big names are speaking out publicly.

[Soonerjeepman]

stoops won't change a thing...

he's won 8 big 12 titles..

[Sooner02]

I think Stoops has lost too much control of the team, and I don't get the impression he cares at times. He's too arrogant and it filters all through the staff. When you think your #(%* doesn't stink, you're in trouble.

[Snrinhouston]

Stoops won't change because he's stubborn, arrogant. He will NEVER come close to winning another national championship. His days of dominating the Big XII are over. Boren and Castiglione seem content to let OU fall to a B/B- program

[cyclonesooner]

I don't care how many Big 12 championships he's won, it is obvious a change is needed and should have taken place a long time ago if not tonight. You have to try something. We could go to the wishbone with Knight or Thompson and be more productive than tonight. Haha Of course we'd have to bring back a wishbone coach to call the plays. Pitiful.

[SoonerMarkVA]

Thompson certainly deserves a chance. The other two have been given more than enough chances. But our problems on offense are waaaay deeper than just QB.

[Breadburner]

Parents dont run football programs.....

[donago]

Kendall Thompson could be an awful quarterback and unfortunately he could still be correct in his belief that he is the best quarterback on this team

[picasso]

Pretty classy move.

Not anymore. The coaches already had this crap from Bomar's dad. Kendall needs to tell his dad to shut up.

Have to agree with this - can't let outsiders call the shots. I do hope we see some experimentation though. The conference race is over for us and developing players for next year should have high priority now. Maybe even give Ford a reprieve and let him have a few carries.:surprise:

You really think Bob is going to start a 3rd different QB and admit he was wrong not once, but twice, about who the starter should be? LOL. Never gonna happen.

[Soonerjeepman]

lol...yup...agreed

[BoulderSooner79]

I wouldn't see it as admitting anything except that we're out of the conference race and our offense isn't working.

But no, I don't think it will happen.

[olevetonahill]

Agreed BUT Kendall does Deserve a Chance IMHO!

[SoonerMarkVA]

Agreed BUT Kendall does Deserve a Chance IMHO!

Yup. And not 'cause Dad called and said so, but because if he's worth wearing that uniform, he's worth getting the shot to see where the other two have failed. Also, it makes no sense to punish Thompson because of whatever his Dad does.

[Therealsouthsider]

...comparing Thompson to Bomars dad is is retarded

...he sees the same thing that the rest of us see but with more insight because of his background. If there is no rhyme or reason to an offensive philosophy then why the hell not throw him into the mix. Who knows, the coaches might get lucky and the kid might make them look like they have an idea and get another pay raise

[ashley]

[Therealsouthsider]

...I don't think he's trying to run the program....unlike a message board opinion, his is based on experience

ss

[Jason White's Third Knee]

Why does he "deserve" a chance to start? Sure maybe you can toss him on the field and he could light it up. That is pure speculation.

Last year everyone wanted to bench Landry because he sucked, got dear-in-headlights, made bone headed plays, didn't have "it", etc. Well, the kid that you want to bench now is the kid that was the saviour of the team, riding the pine last year. Thompson may be the best QB on the team, but the coaches think he is the 3rd best on the team.

This year's team just isn't a true top ten team.

[soonerdo]

Kendall will be gone IMO so it really doesn't matter

[jkjsooner]

You really think Bob is going to start a 3rd different QB and admit he was wrong not once, but twice, about who the starter should be? LOL. Never gonna happen.

Wrong because he didn't start a QB who had a broken foot?

[badger]

I support the "give Kendall a chance" movement

[Bourbon St Sooner]

I mean it's not like you've got anything to lose by putting Thompson in there. Clearly Mr run in place ain't catching on too well.

[SoonerInFortSmith]

Sometimes as a coach you get a group of kids that just don't have it. I saw the look on Bob's face at times last night. I have felt the same thing he is feeling (not at the college level obviously). I guarantee he is putting the players out there that give the team the best chance to win in his eyes. I guarantee he is pouring his heart and soul into this team. For anyone to say he is arrogant or doesn't care is highly misguided IMO.

You are right. I probably shouldn't have insulted Bomar's dad like that. It isn't like he was photographed in an orange jumpsuit being led away by the FBI leading to a legendary coach getting a forced resignation.

Every parent wants their kid to get a shot. The problem is that it isn't your decision, it is the coaches. Once you go onto the airwaves and say that your kid "deserves" a shot, you aren't any different than Craig James.

Did you listen to it or are you just speculating? Cuz you sound like you are talking out of your ***. Switzer is the man, but that man got himself fired.

I disagree with you about whether Stoops is arrogant. His demeanor in press conferences is every bit consistent with arrogance. But that's really not the issue.

The issue is RESULTS. What are the RESULTS he achieves in light of what he is paid. Trying is nice...in Kindergarten. "Pouring your heart and soul" into the team is also nice. But he gets paid to deliver results. He doesn't get paid merely to try. It's really that simple.

[J.R. Ewing]

Pretty stunned at how weak the QB play is, and frankly at the options available. Just doesn't seem to be the same level of athlete at OU these days.

I agree that results matter. I never said trying is good enough. But to hear some people talk, Bob is coasting a la Mack Brown. I just think this is one of those 'smh' type of years. On top of the playcalling and recruiting issues the players are also very inconsistent. And, not to make excuses, but the injuries the sooners have suffered this year have been to very critical players e.g. Phillips, Nelson, and Millard. Anyone who thinks this offense isn't worse without Millard is just plain wrong.

[olevetonahill]

Do we Know in FACT it was Charles Thompson? Or could it have been a Fan from say "Sooner Fans" Anyone can call a radio and say they are someone else.

[PhiDeltBeers]

No, I'm pretty sure it was Charles as I listened to it late last night. Jim and Al had been talking about Kendall for awhile and it looked like as soon as they knew they had Charles on the line, they put him right on the air unlike everyone else who has to wait.

I'm a bit more shocked at what Switzer said, since he seems to be more "somewhat involved" with the program. How much...I have no clue. But you have to think that those words will be heard by the decision makers. Whether they care or not is another story.

[SoonerorLater]

Since KT is apparently healthy there are only two reasons why he would not get playing time.

1. He simply isn't as good of a QB as either Knight or Bell, Hard to believe but within the realm of possibility.......or

2. The coaching staff is just doggedly stubborn and wants to validate their decisions.

Bell is not a good passer. Not even a good runner except in some isolated situations. I get it that the Baylor Defense is improved but we made them look like a Nick Saban coached Alabama team last night.

[olevetonahill]

Was just wondering. I didnt hear it . I'd like to see the Guy get a shot myself.

[PhiDeltBeers]

Agreed about wanting to see Thompson get an opportunity. Let's play this out...Knight didn't look good and now Bell hasn't looked good. So IMO, the WORST thing that can happen is Thompson won't look good, but we'll never know unless they give the kid a shot. Really nothing to lose in this situation, by running him out on the field. If we get to next August and we have a decided QB, I believe we made a successful step forward this year and we can call it as it is. If we get to August next year and are still clueless, then just wow. We accomplished nothing.

[soonerfan69]

Try them all they can't be any worse than Bell and if they won't then I would transfer if it were me

[Soonerjeepman]

Pretty stunned at how weak the QB play is, and frankly at the options available. Just doesn't seem to be the same level of athlete at OU these days.

I'm not. stoops NEVER gives the back-ups ANY real time. He goes with his "Sr" starter no matter what. The crow, chicken...or whatever it is, is coming home to roost.

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

Pretty stunned at how weak the QB play is, and frankly at the options available. Just doesn't seem to be the same level of athlete at OU these days.Welcome to Soonerfans. I contend recruiting began noticeably falling off after we lost to FU in the NC game after the '08 season. We've come up short since then, IMHO, and now we're stepping into the consequences...among other problems.

[SoonerorLater]

C/ATT YDS AV TD INT QBR
15/35 150 4.3 1 2 5.9


A QBR of 5.9. With numbers like this is there any reason not to at least give Thompson a shot?

[Snrinhouston]

I agree that results matter. I never said trying is good enough. But to hear some people talk, Bob is coasting a la Mack Brown. I just think this is one of those 'smh' type of years.

And, not to make excuses, but the injuries the sooners have suffered this year have been to very critical players e.g. Phillips, Nelson, and Millard. Anyone who thinks this offense isn't worse without Millard is just plain wrong.

Agreed. But Bob is the jackwipe dumb enough to play Millard on special teams. He defends the decision with "He's been our best special teams player". Well, yeah, he's a great athlete so it's easy to understand that he'd be great on special teams. But that is still no excuse to use him on the most violent play in any single football game. You have 85 scholarship players. 22 are first teamers, three to four are kickers. That leaves approximately 60 other scholarship players from which to pick 11 for kickoffs.

Stubborn ol' Bob didn't learn his lesson when he used Demarco on the opening kickoff against Missouri in the 2008 Big XII title game. Think that game against Florida could have ended differently with Demarco? I sure do.

Some injuries are beyond a coach's control. Others can be traced to poor decision making.

[SoonerInFortSmith]

Do you remember how bad the special teams were a few years back before the coaches started playing the best players?

[Snrinhouston]

Do you remember how bad the special teams were a few years back before the coaches started playing the best players?

You are correct. But the remedy is NOT putting guys like Trey Millard on the teams. The answer is improving the performance of the standard special teams players. Hell, hire a new special teams coach...Watch the last 15 years of Vtech games...

Do you think Sims, Dupree, Tillman, etc. ever covered kicks for Switzer? Vince Young was an incredible athlete...big, fast, strong...did Mack use him on kickoff teams?

[EatLeadCommie]

I was all for pulling TK and putting BB in during the WV game. TK was horrible and BB needed a shot. The team needed a spark or we were possibly going to lose.

And now that the change has been made, I wonder if BB has to get caught fornicating with goats in addition to fumbling and and throwing INTs in order for TK to get another shot. We have had 2 games of TK and a lot more than that of BB. BB looks good at times for brief stretches during the game (he was bad last night for sure, but had 4-5 drops that were right on the numbers thanks to this sorry lot of WRs), but he is woefully inconsistent in every game and that hasn't changed. It seems clear that he hasn't proven himself any more than TK did or didn't.

I do think a lot, if not most of this, is on Josh for trying to fit his square peg QBs into a round hole offense. That and some of the worst playcalling west of the Mississippi. I was totally shocked when we brought in TK for the 2nd series last night and thought, ok, this is interesting. Then he's out 2 plays later. The next series he's in for 1 play and then out. I mean, WTF is the point if you're just going to bring him in there only to run the ball. Not only does TK find no rhythm, but BB is going to lose whatever rhythm he may have had. It's just retarded with a capital R.

[NorthernIowaSooner]

Not anymore. The coaches already had this crap from Bomar's dad. Kendall needs to tell his dad to shut up.

So a former Sooner can't say anything about the team since his son is on it? Charles wants his son to get a chance (blasphemy!), what parent doesn't? Charles said that Kendal feels he is the best QB on the team (he should, who wants a QB who thinks they suck?). From the recap at top it doesn't sound like Charles said he should be playing, just he wants him to play.

Sure sounds like Charles is trying to run the team to me. Give me a break.

Dupree dint cover kicks but sure as hell ran them back. I watched
a 77 yd kick return at Boulder that Marcus ran. Now, just who in
their right mind would get in front of a 230# MAN running at full
freakin' speed? I can say that it dint take him long to cover the
77 yards. (Full disclosure here, I was in the CO student section

Just because you know the name of a highly acclaimed piece of crap book (and I can say that because I have read it) and you can throw out a Samuel Clemens quote that everyone and their dog has heard doesn't mean you are the only intelligent person here. You will get along much better here if you can learn to tone down the mighty know-it-all attitude.\

I thought it was particularly funny when he said you hide behind the computer vet. I would venture to say that more people on this board have seen you in person than most others.

Oh, so y'all congregate at the semi-annual gun show over a bowl of pork rinds and blue ribbon?

I'd venture a Guess that the Troll has met me somewhere, Prolly a Tail gate Or at least hes been on here under another handle.

[SoonerInFortSmith]

Never been to a gun show. Don't like pork rinds. And I don't drink any more because my wife has a medical condition that prevents her from drinking. Anything else?

[SOONER44EVER]

For anyone to say he is arrogant or doesn't care is highly misguided IMO.

You don't think Bob stoops is arrogant? Seriously?

[SoonerInFortSmith]

That was so long ago I honestly don't even remember the context. Are you just trying to find something to pick on me about?

[Snrinhouston]

You probably also regularly say, "I'm fixin' to do..."

No, we've never met nor (like any well adjusted person) would I care to meet you. But I've lived long enough to recognize the type...

1. Has the Colonel Jessup speech memorized
2. Takes any opportunity to mention that he has served in the "militree" because he thinks it gains instant credibility
3. Rarely, if ever, thinks that OU loses a game simply because the other team was better.

Bruce, we've missed you....maybe. I'm not really sure anymore.

He also said Kendall believes he's the best QB on the team.

Of course he does. I'm sure he thought that last year as well.

[Piware]

Before folks pile on let me say that I don't believe in punishing a kid for a parents mistake. He is absolutely right about our offense too but that is pretty obvious. I am glad Charles Thompson has cleaned up his act but my long Sooner memory will never forget that he was personally responsible for some of our darkest years. He needs to STFU - he relinquished his right to an opinion about OU anything a long time ago.

Really?

He's been a starting qb at a college powerhouse, led OU to a HUGE road victory as an underdog in what was then called "Game of the Century II", played in a National Championship game, and played some professional football in the CFL.

Not only does he have the requisite experience for an informed opinion, but he has every right. What CT did happened 25 years ago. I don't recall anything in his sentencing or any proclamation by the School Board of Regents that he forever relinquished his right to an opinion on OU football.

[picasso]

Sorry but it's poor form for a player's father to call in a radio show or be a regular on a BBS.
Informed opinion or not.

[Snrinhouston]

Sorry but it's poor form for a player's father to call in a radio show or be a regular on a BBS.
Informed opinion or not.

Agreed. Much classier the way Howie Long handles talking about his sons. But the venue CT uses to express his opinions is a much different issue than saying he relinquished the right to have an opinion about OU football.

[picasso]

I agree he has that right but I'm also glad Jason White's dad wasn't calling in when Nate Hybl was tossing balls in '01.
Btw, Howie Long can eat a turd.
That dude has badmouthed OU on the air before.

[Johnny Utah]

Agreed. But Bob is the jackwipe dumb enough to play Millard on special teams. He defends the decision with "He's been our best special teams player". Well, yeah, he's a great athlete so it's easy to understand that he'd be great on special teams. But that is still no excuse to use him on the most violent play in any single football game. You have 85 scholarship players. 22 are first teamers, three to four are kickers. That leaves approximately 60 other scholarship players from which to pick 11 for kickoffs.

Stubborn ol' Bob didn't learn his lesson when he used Demarco on the opening kickoff against Missouri in the 2008 Big XII title game. Think that game against Florida could have ended differently with Demarco? I sure do.

Some injuries are beyond a coach's control. Others can be traced to poor decision making.

Doesn't Sumlin play Johnny Football on special teams (lol)???

Mark Rogers is officially the most annoying guy on local sports radio. Despite the fact that he looks like Rosie O'Donnell, he's become this guy that feels threatened by listeners and gets overly sensitive when someone has an opinion that differs from his. Yesterday he went overboard when a guy said Perry Jones was a good player. The caller may have been wrong but Rosie acted like a 13 year old on her menses with his argument. No, the caller wasn't me. Mark "Rosie" Rogers; **** off dip****

[ashley]

...I don't think he's trying to run the program....unlike a message board opinion, his is based on experience

ss

What experience. He just played. That has nothing to do with coaching. He is just a football dad that's opinion is clouded because it's his son. He would be playing if he was better.

[vtsooner21]

Amen, Blues1...Couldn't agree with you more!

Can't blame Bob for having DM7 return kicks. He's just the best at it in Sooner history. Kinda like you are at slingin' turds.

[oupride]

Better than Antonio Perkins?

[picasso]

Better than Antonio Perkins?

Demarco had the best KR average in school history when he went down against Mizzou. And I think the most yards. I'd say that's a good reason to have him back there.

[shytnik]

I agree. Special teams is an important aspect as well. Hell it won us the OSU game and it can win or lose you many games. You put your best players out there in a position to win the games. I'm sure Millard, and Murray and everyone else wanted to play special teams.

[yermom]

Perk was more known as the punt returner right?

I was thinking Bradley but that was probably more after he hurt his knee in 2004

[SoonerMachine]

Starters on special teams sure, but not the elite players.

[IGotNoTiming]

as I recall, Charles Thompson's expertise was getting busted selling cocaine to undercover FBI agents….

[shytnik]

Starters on special teams sure, but not the elite players.

Why? It's a part of the game, and it's an important part. You can get hurt in any aspect of the game and elite players want to be on the field when and if they can make a difference. Not playing your best players is playing scared and is not giving you the best chance to win.
