God I hope your being sarcastic? The guy has lost three games total since his hire. One of which was in the playoffs against âa super duper powerhouse we play the best defense in the world SEC teamâ in Georgia. Not only did they hang +30 points on that defense, they pretty much stopped the dick munches on ESPN from making those statements about Big12 teams in general. That incompetent Stoops gets ONE stop in that Georgia game, ONE, and itâs ou, not Georgia playing Alabama. Who by the way was probably a better match up. Considering that over the last 20 years ou has a better record against Alabama then Georgia, and has played them almost as many times (you got to love that SEC scheduling).
Then he has a loss against us, by 3 on a last second field goal. A game that I will always argue is the most competitive rivalry game of all. Simply because how many times the favorite has been beaten.
Only last years ISU game stands out. But again. One tends to look more at Stoops competence then Rileyâs role. Had ou been able to get a Texas like effort from their guys that day they donât lose that game. So overall nothing could be farther from the truth in comparing Riley to fucking Mac version I.
Yes, as devils advocate you can accurately call out the fact those are Bobâs players. But you canât bitch about what he has done with them. But bringing in Ruffin, a guy who will have a far better relationship with those players suggests they will get better. Their game today, at night, National TV, on the road, will pretty much tell us if they have improved under Ruffin. If they go to Lubbock and cover the spread (itâs at -14.5 as I write this) they should win out and make the playoffs. If not it wonât matter to us as we will probably play Moonshine Madness in the CG. Which I believe is a better match up. Beating WV twice seems a little more realistic then beating ou twice.
