The Dude Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I personally think it's a little tasteless to anoint such a title onto yourselves. It's like telling somebody "Hey, I'm more humble than you are". I am. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I personally think it's a little tasteless to anoint such a title onto yourselves. It's like telling somebody "Hey, I'm more humble than you are". We didn't. I forget the back story, but I believe it was Lee Corso who dubbed the fans "the greatest fans in college football." Pretty sure it was Steve Pederson who put that moniker on every entrance. Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 Talking about what the crowd was doing on the evening proceeding Bo's comments about the crowd doesn't seem relevant to you? Not really. Particularly when the worst that you've cited is booing and/or leaving early. Quote Link to comment

Hunter94 Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 good damage control by the University...but when TO is gone, who covers for Bo next time? quite the story line too...already handled....next. Quote Link to comment

This sounds like someone disappointed that this didn't turn into an even bigger dumpster fire. And that's odd coming from a fan of this program. Quote Link to comment
carlfense Posted September 18, 2013 Author Share Posted September 18, 2013 You have a very bizarre definition of "relevant". And you seem to want to blame anyone but Bo Pelini. Not sure why that is. Quote Link to comment

okaive Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Thoughts? I can't really think of any. Our sellout records, our traveling fans, the commentary from fans of opposing teams, etc. seem to indicate that we are second to none. Maybe Oklahoma? Never really heard anything bad about them during the rivalry days. I think we earn that label more for the hospitality we show on gameday towards opposing fans. I've never been to an an away game that is better. Kinda like going to a NASCAR race, doesn't matter who your driver is, everyone will offer you a beer. Not Oklahoma. If they have a loss, they are calling for Stoops head worse then we do. They yell at freshmen on their second game for screwing up. If they lose more then 2 games in a season, expect the stadium to be half full if not worse. Living a few miles from their stadium, I can tell the difference in just traffic when they are good or bad. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Can hardly think of a fanbase luckier than Oklahoma to have Stoops. Quote Link to comment
okaive Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Well if we are suppose to read between the lines. It sounds like that Bo is going to quit on us and we won't get a good coach when he leaves. Quote Link to comment
TAKODA Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 This tit for tat gets no one anywhere does it? What happened is 2 years in the past. Although I am sure that was not the only time he probably cursed "some of our fan base", (wait) for some of you "Our fan base", the biggest issue to me is the decision he made to vent in front of people outside of his circle. I suspect he has matured in the past two years and I believe we have all seen him being more reserved which should lead us to the conclusion that the statement they released today was factual (regarding) his behavior change. I am one who has been supportive of Bo too and although my support waivers in times like the UCLA game (play calling and schemes); I believe that (if acted on appropriately by Bo) can be fixed. If it isn't, I suspect the support for him will dwindle and thus the ending result will be that "Some of the fan base" will revel in the "I told you so" while the rest of us will simply agree that its time for a change.
