Coach Stoops - Hip ok?

[soonersweetie]

Did anyone notice in the home opener and in the Vols game, Stoops favoring his hip some as if it's still bothering him?

Just curious. My dad mentioned it and wondered if anyone else thought the same thing or had any info?

Thanks! and I think I'm still hyperventilating from that win. Can't wait til Saturday's Tulsa game, that crowd should still be pretty pumped from Saturday's win.

He had surgery in the past year:

While he can dye the gray out of his hair, he can't hide that he is no longer the 40 years old he was back in 2000. God willing I'll make it till at least age 55 too. I admire that he still seems to approach this job with the fire and passion that he did 15 years ago

I suspect that a lot of this year's re-envigoration is a direct result of him not being in constant pain.

Thanks, I knew he had hip surgery. I was just wondering if it might still be bothering him.

I concur, he does seem to have a bit of the fire and passion back. Most obvious Saturday night :)

And that Pain explains that Bone headed decision last year of "Punt it again"

Maybe not, but perhaps serious pain meds do.

Just glad it was last year.
