I agree with you 100%. They just try to bring our conference and school down. I think it is all part of the game these other conferences are playing to position themselves for the playoff. I think the whole "cheating" remarks made the other day by the big 12 commissioner were aimed toward the SEC as well. I feel that it is kind of like the lawyers I used to play basketball with everyday. They would fuss and cuss each other during the game and when they finished playing they were all friends and had a good time. I don't think the coaches take things nearly as personal as we the fans do.I am just glad that the SEC coaches as a group don't sit around at media days spending time talking about other programs and conferences. The obsession with the SEC is mind-blowing and they (coaches and admin. of other schools and conferences) all complain about the hype we get but they promote us as much as the media.
Didnt stoops lose a lot of bowl games?Stoops is jealous and obsessed with Bama, like many other coaches. That being said, our players should have had enough pride to prepare and go out and bury 'em.
Just like the Barn game we came up short. However, both games were no blowouts by no means. My opinion, we lost our competitive edge and mistakes, missed assignments, penalties, and giving up points were the direct result. I don't blame senior leadership, freshmen all stars, referees, nor the media. Its a game. If you give your opponent a chance to win sometimes they win. We have to just put these teams away early and often. I know, easy said than done. Roll Tide in 2014 from Korea!!That is partially ESPN's fault , they kept asking Bob the same question all day. On One show, I heard Bob say that OU 'got up ' to play a consolation game , they were use to playing for a national title. He also said he complimented the top half of the SEC last year. The media types like to create buzz by theses types of articles and questions . Nothing more, nothing less.
I 'm not sticking up for Bob, especially since he admitted he got a bump in recruiting from the Sugar bowl. Just saying some of this is the media. The real problem I have is that they keep saying OU 'crushed 'Alabama. These people didn't watch the game. Bama out gained OU by almost a Hundred yards.
