So, any word....

....on if the names will be on the backs next season? I never really understood what all that was about, but i would like them back.

[olevetonahill]

Prolly Not . Coach wanted the TEAM effort and to try to get away from the Im a star mentality .
Buy a program :D

Phil Knight says no.

[soonerboomer93]

The names were removed because they didn't look right with they new number style is my understanding

[snp]

No, don't believe what the man tells us! Let's make up bogus reasons like the team unity stuff.

[All_Day_28]

you are correct..

Same thing I heard

[setem]

Leave them off as to remind us all of one of the greatest seasons ever!

[Sooner_Havok]

Bobby Knight says no.

Oops, wrong forum :D

Is my sarcasm meter broke or do I just need a winky dinky smiley thingy?

There might be a hit of it in there but, I will never forget this season.

[SouthFortySooner]

Unforgetable by all means. But one of the greatest, too many gutshots throughout. Like I was really excited by the prospect of how Birdine and Theaubiceax ?sp. would dominate and now I can't seem to remember anything outstading from that whole DE group. No wat I meen?

[goingoneight]

I felt that OU should have been a dominant defensive unit from day one. However, we again floundered in tight moments and got off to yet another slow start. Hopefully BV and BJW don't have such bad lucka again next season, I think they're due for something to go their way...

Gotta love the off-season.

Looking forward to the spring game.

Players voted on it, names are back on.

Whaaaaa?

[Rook65]

Players voted on it, names are back on.

I kind of liked not having the names on there, you could tell who the true Sooner fans were by if they knew the players by the numbers only, on at least the two-deep.

[Boffingham]

I like having the names off, cause when someone makes a bonehead play, I can yell at the tv - "Damn it, Ru..CJ...whoever you are" and I don't hurt their feelings

I'm glad Stoops didn't look outside the team for recommendations about this. I'm fine either way, but it's a TEAM issue in my book.

Really, when did that happen?

[Sooner13]

Actually, names were left off because of the new style of jerseys we wore this year. Because of the way the seams run on the back of the jersey, a different type of name plate, with rounded edges, must be used which caused the names to be more scrunched together and not look as nice

[OK2LA]

. . . Theaubiceax ?sp.

Dude, come on.

I probably couldn't spell his name either, but if you're gonna take a stab at it with an "X", how did you plan on sounding out that "C" in there?

Thee-buh-KO?:D

[8timechamps]

I gave this issue much thought throughout the season. And, in the end I decided that I cared as much about it as I did at the begining. Which is to say, I don't.

[snp]

Really, when did that happen?

Couple days ago.

[SouthFortySooner]

I didn't care much at first either, but there came a moment in the heat after a few games and all of a sudden there was this, uh say STOCKY, linebacker wrecking havoc with the No. 40. Brain froze and all I could yell was hey way to go guy from Kingfisher. After that I wanted them back.

[OUmillenium]

Thank goodness the names are back!

[birddog]

bleh, i don't care as long as i get to watch 'em play. i can't understand why some poeple give it so much thought.

[def_lazer_fc]

the names will be back, but in braille form.

[GottaHavePride]

I'd rather have them in sign language, so the deaf people can tell who the players are, too.

;)

[RedstickSooner]

Fixed that for ya.
