That said, screw parents who manipulate their children through emotion and guilt.
Haven't watched Oklahoma this year, but just from looking at their games on paper it doesn't feel like they are that great. Does Brett have the makings of a Championship coach and culture or will they still have a ceiling of being a top 4-5 team in the nation once every 3-4 years and never win a Championship.

How Oklahoma suddenly got back in the picture is weird. Alas, still a great NSD, but a bit of a bummer end to the early period. I would suspect that Bowen switching pretty much eliminates Hicks and there’s a good chance Hicks is going to Oklahoma as well.
They're a bipolar team that swings between championship contender and middling every other year.alxtw wrote:Haven't watched Oklahoma this year, but just from looking at their games on paper it doesn't feel like they are that great.

I'm confused where you get this assessment. Besides this year they are very regularly in the national championship talks. They may not make the playoffs every year, but they are consistently on the brink. They are a far from middling program on any year except this yearZyme wrote:They're a bipolar team that swings between championship contender and middling every other year.alxtw wrote:Haven't watched Oklahoma this year, but just from looking at their games on paper it doesn't feel like they are that great.

Let me rephrase, Champ contender, then just off the pace. Consistently great, not always natty materiel.Zyme wrote:They're a bipolar team that swings between championship contender and middling every other year.alxtw wrote:Haven't watched Oklahoma this year, but just from looking at their games on paper it doesn't feel like they are that great.
