Don't forget to...

Pick your SUP in the Stupid Underdog Pick Contest - Week 4. I'll be watching until around 3 so you can make picks until then. Also @TOMCATS1990, you picked two different teams. I take the first one. You have some time to delete WYOMING if you really wanted the other one. Also don't forget to make your prediction in the Kentucky vs Ohio Prediction Contest. You are almost out of time.

Writing has been on the wall!

Stoops taking the Texas A and M job
Only to have the hiring committee, realize the boosters thought they were crazy !
REJECTED

Then the probation incident hit

We just signed Coach Marrow to a extension for the new coach

Nothing but love from me for Stoops, but like the title says” The writing is on the wall”

Ty Coach for getting us to a certain level but we will have a new coach next year

In the end Coach Stoops did himself in with his decision to play 1960s offense!!! And taking another job only to be jilted

It’s a LOST season!!

My thoughts on the game and program as a whole

Yesterday was in my opinion the biggest game of the year. We couldn’t lose it and we got destroyed. Overall takeaways from the game

The O-Line sucked. Maybe the worst performance by an o-line under Stoops

Wilson Berry sucks. He has a gimmick punt style and we chose to bring him back another year. And don’t give me the wind excuse because SC’s punter kicked one into the wind in the 2nd quarter 50+ yards and pinned us deep

Quarterbacks while not good idk what really to make of them. Hard to asses them when the o-line is that bad for 3 plus quarters

Besides their D-line SC isn’t good and Beamer tried multiple times to let us win that game


Overall, the common themes of the last three years reared their ugly heads yet again. Bad O-line play, bad play calling, losing to SC (3rd time in a row 2 of which being at home), having a new OC every single year. Stoops asked for fan/ booster support, got it, and this is the product we got.
