Oh hell naw...perfect timing.

We're used to the promised land skittering away at the last minute. Well equipped to deal with the stark reality. 20 years now.

You new to footballs?

We would have been happy to bring on your mom.

Those defenses couldn't have been any worse.
That isn't saying much. Any team would be lucky to have my mom, she's a lovely person.

Have to remember, a first grader with finger paint could draw up a better defense than Mike Stoops. Anything is an upgrade. I am willing to give him a few years to get the right folks recruited and the defense humming a better tune.

Let's be honest. OU's recruiting class is ranked #16 right now. We have 17 verbal commitments. 12 are on offense and 5 are on defense. The five defensive commitments are two 4* and three 3*. Prepare thine anus, Sooner fans. We're going to keep hitting a shitberg every season until the talent level on defense goes up......waaaaaaay up. I don't blame Grinch at all. I blame the fact he's got a bunch of entitled, under-talented players who talk like Tarzan and play like Jane. And I'm also going to start blaming whoever is allowing only 29% of our commitments to be on the defense right now.

Kinda makes you wonder what Mike had to deal with.

How much of the recruiting resources were allotted for defensive recruits vs offensive recruits?

How effective were the recruiting efforts?

Maybe Stoops and Co. decided some time ago that you weren't stopping these high-flying offenses so why not just get into an offensive arms race year after year raiding every 7 on 7 camp in texas?

Boatracing for years and getting shit on in every NC opportunity for being so unbalanced as the years progressed.

Good times. Never thought such success could feel so fucky.

No doubt OU should be able to do better than two 4*s and three 3*s on defense, but I'm not so sure it is all lesser talent. ISU, Baylor, TCU and K-State defensive recruits are lower rated than both OU and Texas. And, they seem to play better defense than either. I think the "bunch of entitled" Goldberg referenced is a bigger factor.

I would add that one of the first interviews I remember reading with Grinch, he mentioned spending a lot of time trying to break bad habits. The last two games, a lot of the "older" players seemed to have reverted back to old form. The newer players seem to be playing more disciplined ball.

Lets also remember there have been some injuries defensively and there is not as much depth defensively either (a 4* WR was asked to play as a defensive back).
