At IT, Ian Boyd trolls the Sooners regularly. He predicted when they hired Nagy that the org structure (they both report to the AT&T guy, who may be parallel to Castiglione) would create conflict. 
 
Before Nagy, when (frankly less than special) Damonic Williams was threatening to enter the draft (Ha!) in order to vie for continued NIL (he was overpaid last season), OU found a way to keep him. Now, maybe Nagy is trying to enforce a pay scale?

Loving this.

Also, good luck for OU continuing to recruit high profile HS players given:

1. They have a poor recent record of five star recruits developing (this used to be Texas)

2. They have earned a reputation as a program that will compete financially to sign a high profile recruit, but will cut the pay if he fails to flash early.

I listened to the SoonerScoop podcast. They were cautioning their fans to not get mad at Stone. The moderators admitted this is a bad look for OU. 
 
When players leverage their position for more money, fans can get upset at them for being greedy,…if they are fans of a team that doesn’t churn the bottom of its roster and process disappointing prospects out. OU is not that team (neither is Texas), so it doesn’t get to point fingers and cry about gratitude.

My sooner fan FIL is a pretty typical sooner. He’s pointed to stone as a top 10 National player who still chose ou in the middle of their post Riley chaos. So him bailing is extra sweet for me.

They’re so arrogant, I doubt they understand how far they’ve fallen. I think they need to pivot to the Arizona State model. Prioritize the portal. Lots of developmental lottery tickets in tickets in high school recruiting. 
 

They’re not going to win many 5 star battles, and if when they do, they’ll pay more than can afford.

Serious post here -  please come back to the board and tell if you happen to ask him his reaction. It would be sweet for many here also

I wish I could help here. Sooner coworkers are so down right now that the only thing that will get them worked up is telling them Texas Tech is a better academic school.

They'd be really mad if they could read. 

 

Also the girls are much uglier in Norman

Two of my best, longest friends are Sooners. They are so beat down right now that they won't even offer up the smallest amount of trash talk. It's actually taking a lot of the fun out of it for me.

Enjoy it. It wasn’t that long ago that they reveled in Texas recruiting failures, laughing at our dumbasses losing head-to-heads because we wouldn’t drop a bag here and there. 
 
We’d talk about rules-following and they’d laugh at our naïveté at how the world really worked. I am enjoying this new era thoroughly

Me too. Especially they’re hypocritical bitching and moaning about $$. It’s delicious. They deserve a half century of 2nd class relegation at least.

You need to pick up their slack like a good friend.

How the fuck so some of you people work with sooners and Aggies? I just....no. it amazes me that anyone with a Texas degree would work in the same place, let alone the same building. 

I feel blessed. The only Aggies that I have to deal with are my uncle, aunt, and a cousin (my other cousin went to UT.

They're pretty cool people, and my uncle can make the best brisket (or anything on a grill like a 5 star chef).

The only true weird thing that happened between us was my cousin got married and had all of her bridesmaids look at me and my other cousin (her brother) as we uncomfortably just shook oir heads in disbelief as they all did the swaying and singing the Aggiie war hymn after the wedding at the location where we ate. My other cousin and I felt reeeeeal uncomfortable as they swayed before our very eyes. It was like looking into the eyes of Ed Gein or Buffalo Bill. 

Although she did bring some sweet muff from her sorority, they made it weird, and it's etched into my brain forever. 

The sad thing is now is she was diagnosed with MS and has to use a cane.  She's 35. It sucks.

I have some friends and coworkers who attended Texas A&M and they are great people.  Are they the exception or the rule?  I tend to believe they are the rule and the loudest and most obnoxious are the exception.  The exception rears its head in sports far too often.

That aside, what your cousin and her family having to deal with MS really fucking sucks.  I cannot imagine what they are going through.  I am about 2 decades older than her and whine because my back is stiff after doing yard work.  Puts my whining in perspective.  I suspect she'd welcome the ability to sway back and forth and whoop.

If I get Aggies by themselves they're normal people for the most part. It's when they're in a pack that things can get strange. 

What I do feel convicted on is that the world is now spinning in its rightful orbit college football wise. May it last the rest of my lifetime. It won't, but I'll relish it for as long as it does last.

Keep bumping. I love Sooner tears so much more than Aggie tears, and I find Aggie tears delicious.
