Best players during the Blake years

[picasso]

The Twister thread got me to thinking.

you guys remember John Anderson? white boy safety out of Texas, Sugarland I believe. He was a tough, hard hitter. always seemed to make a play.

[Frozen Sooner]

He was a Gibbs guy. I don't think he ever played for Blake.

[Frozen Sooner]

Gana Joseph.
DeMond Parker.
Travian Smith
Kelly Gregg

[MojoRisen]

Brandon Daniels

[The Ensuing Kickoff]

Brandon Daniels.

The pre-PT PT.

[picasso]

He was a Gibbs guy. I don't think he ever played for Blake.
you sure? hmm I thought he was there at least one year with Blakey. maybe, just maybe my memeory has been erased from those years. which is a good thing.

[Frozen Sooner]

Yep. Just checked SoonerStats. John Anderson's senior year was 1994.

[picasso]

ok, let's throw in the Gibbs and Schnelly year too because I have some serious brain Fog.

I thought Terry Ray (son of former Sooner stud Darrel) was ok but he sure gave up the underneath stuff a lot. I know he had a decent pro career with the Patriots.

[Frozen Sooner]

Oo. Jarrail Jackson.

Ahmed Kabba, although he quit before playing for Stoops, was a pretty cool guy. He used to get on the old unofficial board and jaw with us.

Stephen Alexander.

Jermaine Fazande-actually made it to the League with the Bolts.

Gumbo had some good games. I don't count Jarrail and Brandon Daniels simply because they were better with Stoops.:D
btw-Jarrail was a stud in arena ball for Tulsa for a few years.

[guzziguy]

Who was coach when Beavers was playing?

[The Ensuing Kickoff]

Gibbs. Beavers beat a buddy of mine up and assaulted me, too, outside Tulio's the week before graduation May 1993.

This has already been the subject of litigation and discussion on boards like this one.

I thought I remembered some legal trouble and a very short pro career.

[picasso]

Who was coach when Beavers was playing?
Gibby.

The Beav picked up a fumble @ Colorado in '92 and took it to the house. we snatched defeat from the jaws of victory in that game.:mad:
I also recall Dewell Brewer turning on the frickin jets on a draw play in that game.:eek:

[william_brasky]

A couple of my favorites were PJ Mills and Tyrell Peters.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

I thought Terry Ray (son of former Sooner stud Darrel) was ok but he sure gave up the underneath stuff a lot. I know he had a decent pro career with the Patriots.

Does he still have that restaurant in Midwest City? There on Sooner?

Great atmosphere. Too bad the food sucked.

[1stTimeCaller]

Stephen Alexander. He's a guy that goes about his job and doesn't care if you know who he is. He been a ProBowl TE and many of our newer fans have no idea who he is. He actually likes it that way. He'd rather talk to you about motocross or dirt bike racing than football.

[Soonerpsycho]

John Blake won with Howard *************** players. :pop:

[sanantoniosooner]

Martin Chase
Corey Ivy

[Grimey]

Corey Ivy?

[tommieharris91]

John Blake won?

[picasso]

Corey Ivy?
x 2.

[Tulsa_Fireman]

John Blake won?

Yes.

[The Ensuing Kickoff]

Good call about Stephen Alexander. I was at the Broncos/Seahawks game last night and he made a great catch of a not-so-great pass for a TD. He's very popular with the more enlightened Bronco fans up here.

[sanantoniosooner]

x 2.
I actually got to see mini-Corey at Moore. He was a stud as a running back and d-back for the Lions.

Matt Anderson was another one.

[Frozen Sooner]

John Blake won?

Yep. 12 times. In three years.

[sanantoniosooner]

Yep. 12 times. In three years.
funny thing, he won the 3 must win games his first year.

Need to beat OSU, UT, and Baylor. That's all he did.

Gerald Moore

[mdklatt]

NM

[Frozen Sooner]

Gerald Moore

Never played for Blake. Went out after his junior year under ***************.

And by "Went out" I mean "Ran for a bunch of yards in the OOC schedule, then stopped going to class because he thought he'd be a first-rounder."

[TopDawg]

Bennie Butler
Jarrod Reese

I thought we were throwing in Schelly and Gibbs as per picasso's request.

[crimson&cream]

Gerald Moore
I think it was Jerald Moore!

[Frozen Sooner]

I thought we were throwing in Schelly and Gibbs as per picasso's request.

Oh, my bad.

In that case:

Aubrey Beavers
Tyrell Peters
Albert Hall
James Allen
PJ Mills
Brent DuQuasie
Stirling Luckey, I think, would have been a good one had he not followed his pecker to Concordia of Wisconsin. One of my high school buddies ended up playing with him there.

[OUAndy1807]

I always had a soft spot for Martin Chase. I remember that he always made a point to come over and talk to the fans after the away games.

I believe Demond Parker may have been the best running back ever at OU, but he played on such terrible teams.

[Kels]

Some from my four years at OU that I can remember:

Reggie Barnes
Darnell Walker
Joe Bowden
Jason Belser
Brian Brauninger
Earnest Williams
Mario Freeman
Rickey Brady
Cedric Jones
Darrius Johnson
Scott Blanton
Trey Tippens
Larry Bush
Ben Cavil
Dwayne Chandler
Harry Stamps
Drew Christmon
Michael Coats
Corey Warren
Tink Collins
Jeff Resler
Steve Collins
Chris Wilson
JR Conrad
Jeff Frazier
Broderick Roberson
Anthony Fogel
William Shankel
Bryan Gorka
Kenyon Rasheed
Albert Hall
Brent Koontz
Jason Keith
Pete Schmitt
Chuck Langston
Corey Mayfield
Brad Reddell*
Mike McDaniel
Otis Taylor
Mike McKinley
Rickey Wren
Chris Melson
Maylon Wesley
Joey Mickey
Milton Overton
JaJaun Penny

A friend of mine hit Brad on the ankle with an orange right when he was kicking a PAT. He missed, and my friend got thrown out of the game. We still won, though.

[critical_phil]

Gana Joseph.


speaking of gana joseph.


i had my psychiatric clinical at st. anthony's a few weeks back and mike woods (add that name to the list) works there.

he said joseph was BETTER than TRRW.

i chuckled.


he was serious.

[Frozen Sooner]

I don't know about that, but Gana had all sorts of natural ability. If he had just had a competent DB coach in his career, he would have been a terror.

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Didn't Kelly Gregg lead the team in tackles one year, i can't think of another D-Lineman who ever even came that close!!

[MI Sooner]

Rodney Rideau, Midwest City, good job Rodney.

(John Blake must have said that a hundred times during his coaches show).

Also...

Stockar McDougle
Scott Kempenich
Frank Romero

I think they all started under Blake at least one year.

And don't forget the quadruple threat of...

Eric Moore
Jake Sills
Justin Fuente
Patrick Fletcher

...so much talent we had a hard time getting it all on the field

[SoonerProphet]

Always liked Rod Manuel, he was a fellow Western Hills alum here in Ft. Worth. Milton Overton too, from FW Dunbar.

[stoopified]

Blake years?What are you talking about?The Col. Blake years on M.A.S.H.?My favorites were Hwakeye and Hot Lips.

[CincySooner]

My favorite blake player didnt become my favorite until 2000...

however, JT Thatcher came and stood in front of the band and just listened on more than one occasion. Games that I seem to remember him doing this were Tech, Baylor, and the CCG in 2000.

[OUstud]

Bruce McClure, C, I met him when I was little. Good guy. I think he's with the N.O. Voodoo of the AFL now.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Brandon Moore

[44BluesExplosion]

Ontea Jones... Recruited by Blake, played for Blake, finished under Stoops... Man, he was a nasty player... Bad knees, but even worse disposition. I loved watching him play.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Travian Smith

Sammy Williams

[Gandalf_The_Grey]

Patrick Fletcher...case closed...he totally EaglePwned North Texas!!

[Dio]

I actually got to see mini-Corey at Moore. He was a stud as a running back and d-back for the Lions.

Matt Anderson was another one.

Don't forget Romero. Man it was nice those few years Moore was good enough to have kids go on to OU.

[sanantoniosooner]

Frank Romero was a Man among boys. Watched him play many times.

[The Ensuing Kickoff]

Ontei Jones should have won the OB MVP.

[Sooner_Havok]

DeMond Parker, I feel kinda bad for the guy. I don't think anyone can blame him for getting the hell out as soon as he could though. Boo kept running him into the ground. I did read somewhere not to long ago that he said in retrospect he regrets it now. He said he wished he could have played under a real coach like stoops.

[william_brasky]

If Demond would've stayed, imagine how much more fun that 1st year would've been for us to watch. Probably would've won a game or two more as well.

[Sooner_Havok]

And we would have gotten to keep Q for an extra year

[Frozen Sooner]

If Demond would've stayed, imagine how much more fun that 1st year would've been for us to watch. Probably would've won a game or two more as well.

Yep. On the other hand, Q probably wouldn't have been as ready to play in 2000 as he was.
