someone asks about how long Bomar was doing this and then that gets into questions about FORFEITING LAST YEAR'S GAMES INCLUDING THEIR BOWL WIN.

he admits he doesn't know what will happen with that... oh boy.

Stoops pretty much throws Bomar under the bus repeatedly. "when kids go behind your back you can't know" is said several times. a reporter presses him on this and he just flat says "If you do bad things and don't tell the Tulsa World about it how are they going to know? we didn't know because they didn't tell us."

then off to practice he went. very little seemed to be settled by the press conference. Paul Thompson was anointed as the greatest QB ever, "we're going forward etc" but clearly the clouds of a MAJOR NCAA investigation are gathering over Norman.

I've always respected Stoops, but he's full of it. "I didn't know anything about it.........." And Bomar was working during the fall? During football season? And he knew nothing about it. Uh huh. And karaoke? wtf?

And he looks extremely nervous. There's a LOT he's not telling us.

FC - that is the best Fark yet.

I'd go further and contend that the A&M-type TV ban won't be done again either, at least not to a BCS power in this day and age. A TV ban at Oklahoma, even for one year, would be devastating, and not just to the Sooners, but to every single team in the Big-XII that also plays the Sooners.

Agree. This is much like the point I was trying to make earlier about keeping the money from the kids. There is too $much$ at stake. It isn't just about principles or the purity of the student-athlete - television revenues are at risk!

Stoopes just pounded the players for needing to be accountable for doing something they all know is wrong to do. That was good - those guys did wrong and should be blamed for what they did.

but he is mighty evasive about what he knew and when he knew it and further investigation etc.

So Stoops wants to hold people accountable, but not necessarily Stoops.

if you had a dime for every time Bob said "I'm not getting into that" or "I can't say" or "I don't know about that" you could make change for a $50 bill in dimes.

I'm thinking Bob knows how bad it is but he's sure playing it close to the vest right now (of course).

one other hilarious moment: someone asks Bob if he drives a car from Big Red and he says "No, I'm with ... [pause] ... uh ... [pause] Ferguson. Yeah, Ferguson GMC and I've got a Yukon or something." he then goes on a spiel about how great Ferguson is and then abruptly realizes he is touting football being tied to car dealers (which kind of looks fishy in light of current events) so he has to then double back and do a big thing on how if this is done right it's good for the program yada yada yada and "don't lump all dealerships together" yada yada yada.

uh, sure Bob. there's only one bad dealership in Norman. we all believe that.

Damn, I quit watching. I would love to have seen that. He was squirming big time before, I can't imagine what he looked like saying that.

On the positive side for our Texas guests, if this does indeed go back four seasons and OU has to forfeit a bunch of games, Texas just won 3 RRSs and 3 Big-XII South titles. :wink2:

I'll bet KFOR spools it up on their site for people to go see it when they want.

incidentally, I was very impressed with their feed. not pixelated at all - like watching it on TV at home. I was sitting here thinking "I'd sure like to watch Bob play cat and mouse with the media" and the next thing you know the handy ol' Internet was serving it up in fine style. I've about decided that computers and the Net aren't a passing fad, but what do I know?

My favorite thing about that KFOR website! The Bigfoot article...

I love it, out there in OK, they are huntin' down the Boggy Bottom Bigfoot!

=============

CANEY, Okla. Two reports of sightings of the so-called Boggy Bottom Monster in southeastern Oklahoma has drawn a team of experts to the region.
The team led by Thomas Biscardi of Menlo Park, California, is in the Atoka County town of Caney to talk with Jackie Marlow and to Morgan and Garrett Whatley and to look for what he calls Bigfoot.

Marlow and the Whatley's each reported seeing the creature just days apart about two weeks ago in and around the town of Caney.

Biscardi has spent 33 years in search of Bigfoot and says he didn't travel 23-hundred miles for nothing.
