Dan Wetzel of Yahoo sports gives some backhanded praise to the Oklahoma football program for how they handed their 7th (not a misprint) and most recent conviction for violating NCAA rules:
First some trash talkin':
Hey, what do you expect from a program whose "Sooners" nickname honors people who prematurely seized (stole) land back in 1889 and whose interlocking OU logo kind of looks like a pair of handcuffs? (lol, we are guilty on both counts!)
he then goes on to give credit to current coach and state-wide god, Bob Stoops for his handling of the latest affair:
On the back end, though, Oklahoma, led by its coach, Bob Stoops, actually conducted a real investigation, made quick, tough self-punishing decisions and in the process showed how to do things right when things inevitably go wrong.
but Wetzel just can't help hisself (Barry Switzerism), its just too funny:
While praising a coach and a repeat, repeat offender program for how it dealt with a scandal is a bit absurd – after all 1) how about not having a scandal in the first place? and 2) since they've had plenty of practice isn't it about time they did it right – in reality the way OU dealt with this was, sadly, by NCAA standards, somewhat remarkable.
Hey, there is no such thing as bad publicity, right??

...even though we ended up with Urban, we had to go through the Zook years. I SO wish we could have snagged Stoops back. What the hell does OU have to offer that UF doesn't?
cuter girls? better beaches? bigger local talent pool? Need I go on?
