Am I the only person growing tired of the "sacred cow" treatment Stoops gets? The only coach i've ever heard of who gets criticized by NickZepp and it makes headlines..as if he's above criticism.

I agree. He's only won 1 NC and played for 2 others. He's been at OU for 7 years now, so I would expect that we would have played for 6 NC's and won 5 of them.
Stoops has been milking the 2000 NC for too long now.

Now ask yourself (through your ignorant sarcasm) if Peterson has accomplished as a player what Stoops has accomplished as a coach.....hmm?
Funny, I don't remember anybody calling Stoops one of the greatest coaches of all time until he actually proved it by winning championships.

I know, it's not like there was only one Freshman to finish 2nd in the Heisman race. Why don't those other guys get special treatment? He only ran for 1,900+, we've had tons of true Freshmen do that at OU. This is crap!

so is your mom... i digress;)
i think stoops deserves most/all of the accolades thrown his way. 1 NC is enough, and most programs would kill for that much... and played for 2 more - 4 BCS games total, a cotton bowl, and holiday with a win over a top 5 team.
look how long paterno's been coaching with only 2.

The program, except for the 3 great years under Blake, has been heading downhill ever since *************** was so unfairly fired.

<following the rabbit down the hole>
wow...
Adrian Peterson is about to become the all-time leading rusher at OU.
As a junior.
Let me say that again in case it doesn't sink in....at the University of Oklahoma, a program w/ three Heisman Trophy winninng running backs and several more that just missed winning it, there is currently a junior on campus who's about to surpass all of them.

Stoops has almost as many yards along the sideline as AD does on the field. Pretty close, I'd say. And AD did it in fewer years.

Plus, AD is faster and runs with more power than Stoops. Although, I would like to see AD run with a headset just to make sure he is the total package.

Don't forget though. Someone stepping on the headset cord brings a whole new meaning to the term "took his head off kind of hit". :D

We punked Stoops back when he played for Iowa, and he's never been the same.

I don't really think that's a fair thing to say... It's not like OU's career rushing #'s are completely unattainable... Not taking away anything from the probably 50 good/great backs that have attended OU, just saying that the #'s aren't really unbelievable for an all-time leading rusher... however, if peterson never wins a heisman but still sets the career rushing record (in 3 years), i believe he will have cemented himself as the best back in the history of OU, which is saying something.

Look, the one thing that escapes many players - in collegiate and professional sports does not QUALIFY their careers, or make them great. Charles Barkley was a great player, Patrick Ewing was a great player, Wayman Tisdale was a great player in college, Dan Marino was a great player, Barry Sanders was a great player - All of these guys have a few things in common - 1 is that they are all GREAT players - most of them hall of fame players - the 2nd is - NONE OF THEM WON CHAMPIONSHIPS. I know this is probably sacrilage on this here board, but one of the great college option quarterbacks didn't win a championship, but won the heisman - Eric Crouch was a great player, but never won the big one - in fact, they got blown the fawk out of the Rose Bowl by Miami . . . . (eerily similar to our team in the Orange Bowl against suc - not sure if you remember our quarterback that year - a guy by the name of Jason White - who also won & DESERVED the Heisman trophy)
My point is - there are great players/coaches that never get to, or win the big one - that doesn't make them any less of a great player - it just means that they didn't reach that ultimate goal.
Hell, Trent Dilfer is a Super Bowl Champion - does that make him better than Dan Marino?!?

Considering that all of those records were set when all OU did was run the football, I consider AD's accomplishments even more outstanding. He ran for almost 2,000 yards his freshman year, with Jason White as the quarterback! That's pretty amazing.

There was one good thing about the four years after Gibbs. Some of us were actually able to get season tickets.

Gibbs coached 6 years.Or at least was at OU in position of headcoach for 6 years.You may well be correct,he actually only COACHED four years(5-4-2,6-6 being the exceptions).

I believe he said "four years after Gibbs" which would mean Smellslikebourbon (1 year) and Blake (3 years)... I'm a math major so see if you can follow me here... 3+1=4 :D
