I've been watching the "30 for 30" series of sports documentaries on Netflix. At most of the competitive NCAA football programs in the 80s/90s (at least) the stipend idea was commonplace. All under the table, of course. ;-)

Bedlam never gets old.
Just keep rambling on about tradition. It doesn't put points on the scoreboard.

Your screename really gives that one away... Denial huh
I'm a Cowpoke, so I don't have a dog in this hunt. But, I feel obligated to mouth off a little. I only read the first two pages of this thread, but it was obvious where it was going.
I agree that Landry sucks. He can't tackle worth a flip; can't block very well either. And, how many times have you seen him catch a pass. His punt average is abysmal and, as far as I know, he has never kicked for a single point. In light of all this, his career statistics are meaningless. If I were a Sooner fan, I'd be livid.
And, Stoops is clearly one of the worst college coaches in the land. His record has been repeated numerous time, so I won't go there again. However, if Gundy's record is this bad after 12 years, or so, you can count me in on the "ride him out of town on a rail" crew.
OU is exactly where other football powers of the time back in the 50's were at. Big lumbering beasts who stacked the middle of the line while OU (Tommy McDonald, Clendon Thomas, Merrill Green, etc) ran circles around them. OU helped change the picture of college football. Now, they're on the receiving end and, if they don't adapt, we'll hear this crying continue in the future. Time, and changing college football conditions, are passing them by. Stoops finally has the opportunity to prove everybody wrong when they say he's not worth all that money. But, he's gonna have to change strategies if he's gonna do it.
And, while I'm at it, those two announcers drove me batty. I used to think Johnny Football was a half-way cool nickname. After those two guys got through with it, I hope I never hear it again.

Fire Mike Stoops.
I am an OU fan and my only excuse for the results of the bowl game is A&M was really good this year. Congrats to the Aggies.
Thank you sir !
Funny post, Ronny!
