Weird things in sports...

[goingoneight]

Just for fun, let's see how far we can go. Post real weird stuff and not player names, please... we all know there are certain teams and players we consider "weird..."

1. The BIG TEN has eleven teams.

2. Announcers can pronounce 'Chijoke Onyenagecha,' but can't say 'Bomar.'

3. BIG 12 Football only has three BIG football names.

4. Some schools express hatred for a coach who makes 550 phone calls over the course of five freaking years, but express love for a cheating coach of their own when he drives drunk and nearly kills someone (I had to find a way to say aggies are weird).

5. A receiever pulls down a pass and it's called a completion. A reciever finds the endzone and it's called a touchdown.

6. Rival opponents feel the need to defend their teams on their rival's boards.

7. When an OU player is questioned on a used car deal, it's cheating. When a USC running back gets a 3/4 million dollar house for his saty at SUC, it's hush-hush.

8. Underage college students party and drink heavily from day one at college. When quarterbacks do it, they are in the wrong.

9. Offsides has nothing to do with being off or to a side.

10. Diving into a wide-open end-zone and spiking the football while dancing is only okay if you're from the coasts...

Tell me more if you have any, which I'm sure you do...

[BOOMERBRADLEY]

People goto OSU to embrace their hickness

People goto UT for ......I can't think of any reason why anyone would go there really

[goingoneight]

C'mon folks, I know you've got some ideas, here... :D

[southern sooner]

ok here goes one that bothers me. The state of Florida is thought to be such a power house for college football, however; if you take all 3 of their teams and add up the NC it is only equal to ours as a total.

Florida - 1 (1996)
FSU - 2 (1993 & 1997)
Miami - 4 (1987, 1989, 1991 & 2001)

OU - 7 (15,55,56,74,75,85 AND 2000)

[XingTheRubicon]

Certain people in Texas call other certain people in Texas that wear alligator boots, pressed Wranglers and listen to Brooks and Dunn.........tea-sips.

[TheUnnamedSooner]

OU - 7 (15,55,56,74,75,85 AND 2000)


I didn't think we were that good in '15, but I think we were pretty good in '50 ;)

That's a good point. I think Miami has 5 NC's, (1983 remember) and FSU did not win it in '97. That was Michigan and Nebbish (sympathy vote for brubaker Osborne) FSU's 2nd title was '99 over Vick and co.

[soonerinabilene]

weirdest thing to me is that lee corso still has a job.

About Hart Lee Dykes in today's Tulsa World:rolleyes:


Know who lusted for the Heisman spotlight? Hart Lee Dykes.

"He wanted the attention that Barry was getting in '88," Buzzard said. "He would come in my office and slam his fist down on my desk and say 'I want to win the Heisman Trophy.' And in any other year, he might have had a chance. He was that good."

[Big Red Ron]

CFL "instant replay."

[Snrfn4ever08]

intergenerational longhorn gheighness, eg. mack brown and vince young

[Big Red Ron]

I'll tell ya what's weird in sports...the fascination with aTm on a national scale. They are of little to no import when actually discussing football. Oh and they worship dogs and think they are a service academy.

Wierd.

yet every year, they seem to start out in the top 25

[douxpaysan]

We were 10-0 in '15, but we were in the SWC. That is pretty weird.http://www.dotcomscotland.co.uk/weirdsites/pictures_files/image004.jpg

[Big Red Ron]

USC went from 5 to 10 national championships in one season...that was pretty wierd.

[Snrfn4ever08]

usc thought they had a three-peat if they beat texas

[Big Red Ron]

Why Oklahoma State changes astro turf every season. You're a frickin ag school...grow some gohddamn grass.

you'd think they'd at least be able to do that with the best of 'em

[OUstud]

That Barry Switzer recommended John Blake as our coach.

[PrideTrombone]

100 yards is a long way in football, but that's a 3/4 swing lob wedge for professional golfers.

[Paperclip]

A player like Speedy Claxton can call an offer of 3 years, $17 million "a slap in the face".

[SOONER44EVER]

1. OSU is adding seats when they can't sell out the ones they have in a stadium that runs the wrong direction.

2. USC was going for a "3-peat" with 1 1/2 championships.

3. Barry Switzer is/was a better coach than Tom Osborne, Joe Paterno, Bo Schembechler, Woody Hayes, Darrell Royal, Jimmy Johnson and Bobby Bowden but only people in Oklahoma seem to know it.

4. The last 2 college football teams touted as "the best ever" failed to win the championship that year.

5. AD playing in 2 straight games when he could barely walk in pre-game warm up.

6. That ref that said T Tech scored.

7. OSU's best QB playing DB.

8. Oregon's uniforms.

9. Boisie State's blue turf.

10. All the people wearing longhorn stuff in OKC.

[Flagstaffsooner]

10. All the people wearing longhorn stuff in OKC.They do that?:mad:

[SOONER44EVER]

They do that?:mad:
Since early January, yes.

[Flagstaffsooner]

I'm glad I'm not there to see that $hit.

[SOONER44EVER]

I'm glad I'm not there to see that $hit.
At least the orange isn't quite as bright as that other orange. I don't see the bright orange much lately. :D

[Soonerman08]

I've seen a few people wearing that crap on OU's campus. Mainly road construction workers though. :P

[Rogue]

That the option doesn't work in the NFL. I'll never understand it.

That the rules in the NFL change with 2:00 left in the half. That sucks.

That there is no playoff in NCAA D-1.

The triple-jump. WTF?

[Big Red Ron]

The Hornets are going back to NO.

[goingoneight]

Man with Four Balls cannot walk...

[goingoneight]

When the ball hits the foul-pole, the ball is fair.

[Snrfn4ever08]

ou loses to tcu and osu barley beats montana state, so they brag about it

We're venturing here, aggies are obviously in their own little weird world where they believe they are superior to us...

Wierd.

the fascination with eATMe in anything. They have ONE national title (two if you count football) in the history of their athletic teams! ANd to think, they were the major competition for the Hook 'em in the old SWC.:(

kinda sad, huh?

[salth2o]

That people actually wonder why soccer fans riot and are generally crazy. If they would watch 5 minutes of a match, they would know. General bordom and idle time are the roots of evil and mischief.

[BrockLanders]

Wierd that some of us OU fans make the upside down "hook 'em" horns sign to the TV camera even when we are playing Baylor.......in women's basketball. Sorry if you are that guy but it needs to stop. I only bring it up because this hand signal is being thrown out in a reckless and wanton manner and needs to be checked. Save it for OU TX games.

[jackietreehorn]

1. Curling is a sport, and even worse, an Olympic sport.
2. That one straight guy that lives in Austin.
3. The fact that there is no mandatory shootout worked in to every soccer game. it would really pick up in america if there was.
non sport
1. people climb to the top of the empire state building and pay money to the telescope/binocular things to look at **** on the ground.
2. if it's "a penny for your thoughts" but everyone's "putting in their 2 cents," where's the extra penny going?

[Lucky4]

It's weird that you can stand on a tuna can in Lubbock and see for 250 miles, yet can't see when a guy is 2 feet short of a first down from 5 feet away.

[Octavian]

Colorado's 1990 "National Championship."

The curse of Florida St. kickers.

#45- Michael Jordan.

Ramonce Taylor being "questionable" for the upcoming season.

The months of November '88 through February '89.

Tanya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan show the world the dark side of female ice skating.

Cars going in circles for hours attracting millions of fans.

Woody Hayes goes postal in front of the cameras.

Deion Sanders the rapper.

OU's incredible ability to play national title games against teams in their home state.

The now extinct Poulan WeedEater Bowl.

Les Miles.

How a UT bandmember can call an OU fan trashy....while their 320lb. body is decorated w/ orange fringe and a white cowboy hat.

[SicEmBaylor]

Texas Aggies.
They're just weird in general.
Does that qualify?

[Landthief 1972]

The fact that you need a license to hunt, drive a car or operate heavy machinery, but any messed up a__hole can father a child at will.

[Sooner Schemer]

Miami on their home field in '87.

Danny Manning and The Miracles in Kemper...

[SoonerDood]

don't forget KU basketball in Kemper. OK, I know that's Missouri, but close enough. Also Syracuse in Albany. How does a #3 seed get homecourt?
