I am miffed as well. There seems to be general consensus among media types that Bob Stoops is some kind of coaching god. Where is this coming from?
Coach Tressel doesn't get this kind of respect and his program is more successful on every level. And, Coach Tressel is not a whiner.
It's coming from the fact that he beat up on mentally weak, ultra conservative, and just plain soft Texas teams early in the decade. But once Vince came and got Mack to loosen up (plus Mack hiring bad-ass no BS guys as DC's) and that has changed. If you take away those wins vs soft Texas teams, Stoop shas done NOTHING since January 3rd, 2001. Mike Stoops leaving didn't help matters, he's the one that really gave those OU teams the toughness and swagger they had.
Unfortunately, the media still doesn't seem to get the memo yet so we have to live with OU getting shoved down our throat despite the fact they barely beat Stanford in the Sun Bowl the year previous.
