Fuck that I take Harsin at 5mm for 6 years before I give Venable a 10mm deal. Too much risk.
He won conference championships before he got that though. Shit is officially off the rails.
What the fuck have you been through before this year? 6 straight conference championships and two Heisman winners? Poor you as the suffering must be terrible.
That’s a given….Petrino clause.
I get your arguments and I wouldn’t have hired Kelly either with the contract they wrote. Someone is going to be left holding the bag and there aren’t any Sabans out there that everyone is chasing.
Conference championships aren't what OU is all about. It got to the point where another pounding in the ass with an 11-1 team and a conference championship wasn't cutting it. Heisman Trophies aren't even worth talking about when they're compared to winning the Big Enchilada. Like it or not.......understand it or not......OU fans measure coaches/teams by NC's. It's just the way we are. Fuck participation trophies.
You still haven’t explained how you’ve “suffered”. That is a ridiculous statement coming from an OU fan and I’ve got news for you it just got so much harder.
Trust me OU has a handle on this
Tits or gtfo
So you don't understand what OU fans call "suffering". Lemme explain it to you. Getting a train run on us in CFP games, watching our defenses swing and miss every year, seeing the offense look like Tarzan all season and then play like Jane at the worst possible times, knowing our talent level is insufficient, etc. It's one thing to experience occasional seasons like this and know it is temporary because we have recently won a NC but it's something else to see the program go Groundhog Day year after year after year. We are not delusional. It's not going to be easy at all in the SEC. But having the occasional bad years, by OU standards, will be acceptable if we finally improve enough to win the occasional NC. We know the difference between "suffer" and "struggle".
You haven’t won a NC in 20 plus years and it maybe 20 more until you do. That’s reality my friend.
OU is 1-1 against Saban. We're not afraid of competing with him or anyone else but we know we're going to have to improve our program to win in the SEC. Texas aggies, Alabama aggies, Oklahoma aggies.............you guys are all like peas in a pod.
He won the MAC and Big East a couple of times. Won div 2 title a couple of times at Grand Prarie
Let me make something clear. I'm the rare individual who likes both Auburn and Alabama. I know; that makes me a hermaphrodite in Alabama. But here is something I think you'll find interesting. At a recent OU watch party, about a dozen of us made a list of the 5 teams we thought we'll have the hardest time with in the SEC over the long haul. Only two teams were named on every list: Bama and Auburn. Georgia got the third most votes. Kind of surprisingly, the Mississippi schools were frequently named as potential thorns in OU's side.
