Confident Oklahoma Fans

Haha! Here's one for the brain surgeon bemoaning the difficulty of getting to Knoxville!

What a pansy.

I never clicked on it. From an "outsider" I always liked Fulmer a lot.

My point was think what you want about Stoops but I don't think "under achiever" is a word I would use.

Hopefully you guys don't treat John Cooper or Earl Bruce or Jim Tressel like a lot of our fans treat Fulmer, which is with utter disrespect and contempt. You probably have a few, guess all major fan bases do.

duckfart? I admit I laughed. Never heard that one.

It's going to be fun watching the Sooners get the ish kicked out of them.

Earl Bruce is looked on very fondly by our fan base now. He was 9-3 Earle but did a good job beating Michigan. He is on tv and radio here. Just had a stroke a week or 2 ago.

John Cooper situation has also softened over time. He had a ton of talented teams but in end 2-10-1 vs Michigan and failures in bowl games did him in.

Jim Tressel is a legend here. He brought us back to winning a National Title and dominated Michigan 9-1 in his tenure. I felt he should have been fired for the tat gate scandal though. No one harbors any hard feelings toward Tress.

Oklahoma fans basically disrespects Neyland Stadium.

"My husband and I were in Tennessee to play golf, and on a rainy day decided to drive to see the famous Tennessee stadium. One, it is in the middle of town, with hills everywhere, poor parking, and since half of the stadium is on the river, this limits traffic flow. Also, it just looked like a big metal hulk. UGLY!"

Tennessee game

Well, she sounds hideous!!!

Decided to check out some Oklahoma forums and came across some posts I thought were worth sharing:







Looking forward to reading his posts after the game this year.



Others weren't so dismissive of UT:





Good point.

Then theres this priceless gem:




Funny how the #1 QB prospect just picked the Vols. UT might yet again have a Manning-like recruit after all. Something even funnier is stating that UT has to "creampuff their non-conference schedule" in a thread created because UT is playing Oklahoma for the second straight year. Especially when considering UT has also recently played OOC creampuffs Oregon, UCLA and Cal.

No, most Oklahoma fans aren't like this. But it was surprising that some of these outrageous posts weren't challenged more.

I think September 12 is going to be a special night.

You do realize you're already connected to the Internet right? It gives you access to lots of pics and things if you are truly that desperate

it isn't the same as them being on volnation.com during game week
:run::3cheers:


uuuuuh so i have heard

Good to hear. Most here hold all of our former coaches (except for Kiffin and Dooley) in high esteem. Neyland, Wyatt, Dickey, Battle, Majors and Fulmer. But we have a vocal contingent of anti-Fulmer guys....defies logic. Anywho, guess it's just part of the deal. Maybe the passage of time lessens the volume. Fortunately, we have a guy in Jones right now who is pushing all the right buttons in terms of rebuilding the program and brand, has been damn near flawless to date. Now for the hard part....go win some games.

I agree. I think CBJ is doing a great job. This is a big year.

We have been fortunate in Columbus that we have had unreal consistency at Head Coach. Hayes, Bruce, Cooper, and Tress were the only coaches from 1950-2010. Tress gets fired and then a year later we get Urban Meyer. We have avoided some "bad hires" that have affected national powers like Tennessee, Michigan, USC, Oklahoma, and Alabama over the years. It's very lucky.

 

[dovervolz]

First time I've ever seen a coach called a duckfart. Lol, hope we put a boot in that a$$

They're from OK , what you expect ?

 

[SayNoToJorts]

Considering Manning is the GOAT no one will ever have a recruit like him again so I guess I agree

 

[Jeepkuntry]

When I think of the top coaches in the game, Stoops name doesn't come up. His success happened early on. How many times in the past 5-8 years has his teams been hyped upped (top 10) and finish with 8-4 records? Last year they were 8-5. Clemson beat them like a red-headed step child. I think they will leave Knoxville humbled.

 

[ballou1024]

I'm pissed!

 

[Orange_Crush]

That UO spring game... Not sure how much it tells abut real life, but... Those QBs were pick-machines against vanilla defenses.

 

[ct4640]

Good point. I think OU will be over confident coming into Knoxville. That's exactly what we want.

anyone who saw ou collapse last year shouldnt be at all over confident. there shouldnt be any chest thumping after the way we finished from mid oct on.
the new offense throws in another wild card but its sure isnt a given ou will come out gang busters. ou has started the season slowly more often than not through the years.
i think most ou fans are more hopeful than over confident. i think its just going to be a good old fashioned slobber knocker. wish i could go to the game. with a mostly new OL and QB i hope we can run the ball a little bit and throw to our guys instead of yours

He very well may. I still think he is elite.

 

[sjt18]

I don't think OU cares about our raw talent or who might be good this year for us. The OU players know they whipped us last year and believe they will again this year. Yes, stoops is a smart coach and knows how to prepare but I doubt he's losing any sleep over this game. It's just like how Ohio st was overconfident against Virginia tech last year. It doesn't matter if we beat the best OU, it only matters if we win.

Oh... OK. If you say so we can all count on OU overlooking UT.:ermm:

Our DL may be the best you'll see all year. Our secondary may be as well. I really think you guys will be frustrated on O.

Our skill positions on O are sick this year. The big question for UT will be at OL. If we get decent play there, you guys may be in trouble. If not, this game will more than likely be a defensive struggle all game long.

Hoping for a UT victory, and an injury-free game for both teams. :hi:

Some here are/will be. As long as our team is focused, I don't mind the fans that mistake their realities with actual reality.
I'm sure you guys have your share of these fans. After all, we were undefeated during the off-season, heard OU was also. :hi:

 

[Iam4utalways]

We are not the same team as last year. OK had better be ready and I just hope they are good enough to get us ready for the gators. Western Carolina won't. The better OK is the better off we will be going into the swamp. I still say the gators will be a tougher game. As for the crack on Butch and our recruits, that person is not in tune with our transformation from Dooley's team to a hard core, about to kick they teeth in, kind of team. GO VOLS! WIN em ALL!

 

[GoVols#18]

It dang near ticks me off to hear from opposing fans that are so confident. Next time you see me I'll be standing at gate 14 smiling at some too Sooners as they sulk out of our beautiful stadium. Offering words of encouragement for that long ride home

Not me, I hope the players are that overconfident too.

 

[MtnManStan]

Stoops will have his team ready. No way he wants to lose to an SEC team. This will be a tough game for both teams I think.

If I can remember correctly, didn't he mention last year something about the SEC only having 2 good teams and everyone else is sub-par (talking about us)? Hope we can keep the hype quiet, and let our play let Stoops know just who we are.

 

[Other_Guy]

Curious as to how Jones has proven that he is a joke? Would be nice for that guy to explain that.
I have no.problem with them making fun of us, but saying our OOC SOS is a joke is making fun of themselves.

I can't remember off the top of my head how many ranked teams Jones has faced. He's only beaten one. He couldn't beat either of the worst two UF teams of the ESPN era.

Until he gets a few of these monkeys off his back... we'll have to put up with this stuff.
