Sooner Schadenfreude

For the record, it is spelled schadenfreude.

Thanks man, I thought that looked funny.

Dumbass.

He was using the Oklahoma spelling.

Schadenfreude is the new meme.

In that first picture, is #44 from BYU trying to convert Bradford?? Sam shouldn’t be so dismissive of the magic underwear. It obviously works.

This website may be of use to Wilson and the OU line. It is a fairly fundamental discussion of the zone blitz.

This is actually a pretty good website. Perhaps BC would post a link?

This isn’t a whine post I’m an OU fan which means I have class.

Sorry, here is the link:

Similar to one written on Smart Football that I read last week but couldn’t find right now.

Does it say something about me as a person that I enjoyed watching OU lose to the descendants of Brigham almost as much as I enjoyed our win? Yes. Yes it does. It says I am a good American. It has been scientifically proven that pining for a full strength Oklahoma or wishing them well in anyway is communist.

That paragraph is chock full of universal truths. Beautiful.

Mormons and Native Americans have a, how do
you say, “interesting” history with one another.

Very enjoyable, Doperbo.

I will miss watching Bradford play—the season would be better with him in it.

To be fair, that chick HJ punched is Columbus had lights in the bottom of her tennis shoes, so she was sort of asking for it.

As far as scally, no excuses.

Kevin Wilson: “Landry Jones is the best quarterback I have ever coached, and I have coached a Heisman winner with no knees and a cross eyed Cherokee with freckles and a wide receiver playing quarterback so put that in your pipe and smoke it.”

“Kevin Wilson: "Landry Jones is the best quarterback I have ever coached, and I have coached a Heisman winner with no knees and a cross eyed Cherokee with freckles and a wide receiver playing quarterback so put that in your pipe and smoke it."”

9/10. You should have said “peace pipe”.

Now they are saying Bradford has a Grade 2 or Grade 3 AC sprain/separation.

As a freshman at UT on a baseball trip with the club team to Colorado, I suffered a 3rd degree AC separation while skiing down a bunny slope in Vail (hey, fuck you for laughing…it was my second day skiing, I accidentally got on the bunny slope and tried to tuck it to the bottom…a kid and an old lady crossed my path and I was between pizza and french fries when my ski tops got crossed…I went ass over tea kettle and landed on my throwing shoulder, very similar to Bradford).

If it is a 3rd degree separation, he’s done. I didn’t have surgery, but I went through rehab with the UT sports doctors. I was immobilized for about two weeks and I couldn’t throw a baseball for a year.

Just some food for thought.

He’s done. It’s a grade 3 sprain and there’s no way his insurance contract is valid if he plays again this year. The fact that ou’s Oline is practically a welcoming committee doesn’t help. The fact that OU’s National Championship dreams are done doesn’t either.

The OU program will smoke screen this deal as long as they can for strategic purposes, but Bradford won’t play again this year. Take it to the bank.

Which means Gresham is probably done for the year as well.

I feel for those two kids, but I don’t think they could have made poorer career decisions if Master P. was running things. Just abject stupidity to come back.

Sucks for Bradford, but Stoops should have put L. Jones in for mop up duty in a lot of games last year. Instead he was running up the score, trying to get style points, and scoring records.

He might of got his team to another humiliating BCS loss last year, but it cost him this year.

Clicked on that sooner fans site, and I swear I couldn’t stop reading , i’m amazed at how dumb those fans really are, they have to be brainwashed or something… it was almost sad to listen to the simple minded statements, no wonder they believed what kevin wilson said about how great the o-line was going to be. They honestly are talking about bradford and gresh getting back for the miami game, some were even saying 2 weeks. The bradford injury is serious, if they rush him it would be no sooner than our game that he might get to play, and he’s not going to be anywhere near 100% for that. This season is starting to fall apart for the sooners, if the o-line is as good as advertised they WILL get beat by miami. On another note, why does it seem like Malcolm Williams doesn’t exist, he is 6-3 just throw it up somewhere around him and he will bring it down… I don’t understand why they don’t even look his direction, because we are going to need him when they double and triple team shipley in the games that matter. Was it just me or did it feel more like a Florida team, with the addition of monroe, goodwin, and chiles, in the offense… They are FAST, real Fast

I posted this on another board. I think the injuries to Bradford and Gresham are a turning point in the OU football program. I think it raises the odds that Stoops leaves after this season. OU stands to lose a lot of players, many of them early, for next year. Very unlikely that Bradford or Gresham return next season. It would be more idiotic than coming back for this season.

Thus, Stoops is faced with a rebuilding year this year AND probably next year. Then you have other coaches armed with more recruiting ammo that Stoops doesn’t look out for his players. Recruiting just got a lot harder for OU.

IMO, this is the beginning of the end of the Stoops’ era at OU.

“Clawson timed that blitz perfectly”

and the best LT OU has ever had happily whiffed on him. Why exactly did he get so much hype? Did he play well against Florida or something. He was completely absent against us last yeear against Melton.

My wife is from Oklahoma. Went to high school with Bradford’s father and uncle, in fact. Says they are good people.

Her take is that the state suffers from brain drain. Most people she knew who had any snap left for better educational, professional and cultural opportunities elsewhere. Those remaining behind met and bred with others like themselves and now there are fundamentalist churches everywhere.

Switzer’s book “Bootlegger’s Boy” has as good an explanation of the role the OU football program plays in the life of the state as I have ever read. The state’s self-esteem was always low. My wife calls the state the last chance for every loser who couldn’t make it anywhere else. Morale was wrecked further by the Dust Bowl days of the 30’s. The handful of men who ran the state in the 40’s had the bright idea of building up the college football program to give the state something to be proud of. After a while they hired Bud Wilkinson and you know the rest.

I have always thought that the huge role played by the Sooner program was a double-edged sword. When things are going well, there is huge community interest and support. But, when things go south, they can turn on each other and get nasty. There is too much riding on it. This is reflected by the way OU tends to play. They are a program of momentum. When they have it they can look unstoppable. When they don’t things can collapse in a hurry. The latter scenario appears to be unfolding.

Isn’t Landry a redshirt Freshman? Meaning playing the back up last year wouldn’t have helped much.

Idaho State
Tulsa
at Miami
Baylor

OU is very lucky that Idaho State is next. Tulsa looked good in their opener as did Baylor. Depending on how the team reacts to these injuries, there could be 2 more losses in that sched before OU gets to Dallas.

dude….

I’m calling the FCC (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NDPT0Ph5rA).
and if that doesnt work, I’m calling the president (http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10320096-38.html)

And there damn well better be another one waiting for them in Dallas on 10/17.

I was in Dallas (Frisco) on Saturday for a wedding, and afterwards (and three or so hours of open bar and a ‘tender that must’ve been paid by the number of bottles he emptied) we walked back to the hotel and I saw a few sooners in the hotel bar. I laughed out loud and pointed and my wife calmly escorted me to the room.

Good times.

“"Oh Jeez, what the heck!" "

As any Big Love watcher or salt lake resident knows Mormons say “Oh my heck” a lot.

Having lived a Kevin Baconesque senior year in Salt Lake corrupting girls in their experimental pre-marriage-at 19 stage I kow this to be true.

Damn, I wish somebody would snap Kenny Chesney’s AC shoulder joint (the one that allows him to pretend to play the guitar), and then step on his larynx with metal-cleated climbing shoes for good measure.

OTOH, this doesn’t help our SOS much.

As Robert Earl Keen so adroitly put it:

Flatter than a tabletop
Makes you wonder why they stopped here
Wagon must have lost a wheel or they lacked ambition one
On the great migration west
Separated from the rest
Though they might have tried their best
They never caught the sun
So they sunk some roots down in the dirt
To keep from blowin’ off the earth
Built a town around here
And when the dust had all but cleared
They called it Levelland, the pride of man

“contrary to popular belief, robert earl keen did not write that song. i wrote it for my buddy max crawford from floydada, texas. floydada didn’t fit the meter.”

Its a classic! Just like: somebody has been sleeping in my bed,, drip n dry, ka.
