LOL, I see you started replying and then logged off, im sorry if I embarrassed you. Ill take it all down.
The great thing is, even with all of that I know that there are several better athletes on this board than myself, just not you
Like I said, I started in baseball, basketball, and football while in high school. I medaled in the shot put and finished 4th in the discus while in middle school, but couldn't do track and baseball at the same time in high school. I even played soccer until third grade and was good at it, but my parents told me I couldn't play 4 sports at one time. I'm not going to go deep into detail about how great I think I am for more than one reason. One of course being that this it the internet, and if you or I wanted to, we could just make everything up, so it really wouldn't mean anything. The second, and more important, reason is that there are coaches at three of the best high school sports programs in Oklahoma who believe I'm a good athlete. If they believe it, I honestly don't care what you think. I doubt you played high school ball at 6A either. Am I wrong?
I'm not gonna read this entire thread, but I'll answer: I'd much prefer to keep Josh. Of course some of you might be aware I'm not much of a KW fan to start with.
Ok, I did read the entire thread... ...and you're all a bunch of dumases. ....well, except for that one guy I gave SPEK to -- Sooner-N-KS I think it was. He pretty much agrees with me so that means he's smart.
Eielson started to expound on this: Sam: Rams Gresh: Bengals Iggy: Bears Manny: Cowboys Brody: Colts Big Phil: Vikings Duke: Panthers Coop: Vikings T-Will: Redskins As well, DM and Broyles are likely shoo-ins for the NFL. That would be three receivers, two TEs, four OL, QB, and one RB. Heck, Brandon Walker was in the Texans' camp before he did some stupid stuff. I can't name many other teams out there that had that much talent on one offense at any time. On that note, BV had about the same level of talent on D: GK: Bucs Clayton: Eagles Dom: Falcons Holmes: Redskins Harris: Bills As well, Beal, T. Lewis, Taylor (if he can stay healthy), Alexander, and QC are excellent candidates for the NFL. That would be 6 out of his front seven, as well as 4 DBs. There was a conversation down here on one of the local sports stations as to the talent level in that MNC game with FLA, and how it might have been the best. Almost that entire FLA defense is in the NFL, or soon will be.
Can you name one game where KW made adjustments during the game and came from behind to win against a tough team? Didn't think so.
I really don't want to lose Josh......but the experience is needed. I read some of this thread and thought I was in high school. I would just say stop talking about how tough you are and just meet, fight....and stfu.
There haven't been that many opportunities. OU doesn't lose that many games, and there have been fewer games in which it was behind at halftime. And you have to consider defense as well -- KW only coaches a third of the team. We got way behind at Boise St. and came back to tie it. The fact that we lost was due to a lot of things, and I don't KW was one of them. I think the effectiveness of in-game adjustments are vastly overrated by fans. Sure, you can make some minor changes, but the defense is perfectly free to adjust in kind. And a good D can dial in on anything you are trying to do.
That really goes to prove my point. KW is great when he has great players playing against a less talented defense. He's been the OC for 4 seasons now. He has had several opportunities against tough opponents, but he has only won once against Texas in 2007 I believe. How many chances do you want to give him to win a big game before you can see that he stinks when he faces adversity? I do give him credit with how he finished the season last year, but my opinion of him is heavily tainted by how he started last year and his big game performances. It will take more than 2 great games against the aggies and Stanford to impress me.
2009 - Injuries, injuries, injuries 2008 - In the NC game, yes, I thought he called some bad ones. However, 35 points was more than enough to beat Texas. That one was on the defense. 2007 - How close were we to beating Tech with a backup QB? The whole team was off for Colorado and when we played WV I remember many players already had bolted to the NFL. 2006 - Oregon we all know. Texas? Yeah I remember they still had much of their championship defense. Boise? Was it the offense or defense that allowed Boise to come back after we took the lead? Hmmmm...
