Bob Stoops on Sports Journalists & Gundy

[BigTallOrangeThing]

Stoops and Gundy probably get more national media exposure than anyone else in Oklahoma, and they represent our state well enough for me to be okay with that.

[1988Goldwinger]

Thank you Coach Stoops--Well said!

[jennyluvsaxl]

Stoops is nothing but classy!!!

[taylorshelbygarrett]

This is way old news but plicketypow, im sure you knew this but The Oklahoman is owned by the Gaylord family, after which OU'd field is named after...may have a bit of a relation to that who knows

[TommyC503]

Well Coach - its ok to have an opinion about the media but how about acting like a grown fucking man when you deliver that opinion instead of some fucking prima donna king of the world like your shit doesnt stink - how about that coach?

[underwoodins]

@TommyC503 Don't be mad cause your old lady masturbates to a bob stoops pic.

[TommyC503]

@underwoodins You mean your mom? Tell I said hello-

[blazersfan25]

I hate Bob Stoops but he is 100% right about it the media is trash and so is the newspaper writers

[oudavid1]

Josh Parsons!

[tmua23]

You hate Bob Stoops? Why?

[Kabrud47]

Jenny Carlson isn't woman she was a sewer

[jusTidesey]

I'll completely agree with Bob Stoops as well as Mike Gundy.

Roll Tide to that.

[hero3454]

women shouldnt be writing sports in the first place. wreck em tech!!

[plicketypow]

That paper is extremely biased toward sooner athletics, and the ironic thing is, I'm a sooner fan. Oh, and Jenny Carlson is a thundercunt

[okstatefanatic20]

Stoops is a dumbass. If it was an article on one of his precious OU players then he would have a completely different opinion about it.

[plicketypow]

stoops was defending gundy......

[tdhill84]

as mr. knight says..." its an occupation one step above prostitution"...hes correct on that one, especially about the liberal media fags these days

[tmua23]

I am assuming you mean Bobby Knight? I wonder how he feels having a job "one step above prostitution" himself.

[blazersfan25]

I hate Stoops because my brother played QuarterBack for Midland Lee and was highly recruited and Stoops called him and told him yeah we want you to play QB so when he gets there they tell him no we want you as a reciever so he transfered to Washington State. Stoops is a lying prick which is why I'm going to Texas in two years!

[johnqpublic2718]

@blazersfan25 well then good luck playing for hack brown. you're going to need it.

[blazersfan25]

@johnqpublic2718 At least he's a honest coach.

[soonermagic24]

@blazersfan25 your brother wasnt good enough to be qb for the sooners.. sorry, but threre is a reason stoops told that to your brother. enjoy playing for the longhorns, theyre a good program too.

[boomer1991]

Gundy was right, but he really mad an ass of himself on the big stage. True the article WAS garbage, and the author was a clueless dumbass. But Gundy made a complete ass of himself. It was ugly to watch that childish rant even as a Sooner fan.

[BOOMEROU4]

Im a Sooner fan, but I will say that I think that Gundy was right. Bobby Reid was on overated player and is apparently a puss a moma's boy, a quitter and a baby.

[unkilllarry]

Jenny Carlson is a sad excuse of a sportswriter. Her columns remind me of muckraking and yellow journalism.

[radio187]

Ol Bobby Stoops needs to figure out how to get his nut back after WVU walked all over his boys.

[eruptingshadow]

i hope he doesnt get his nut back...

[HU5KERFAN20]

stoops cant win shit he sounds like a whinning whore who didnt get paid he chugged cum on the OU field he massaged sam bradfords jumbo titties OU SUCKS

[indeedtheDANE]

lol coming from a husker fan? hahahahaha you dont even get an opinion on the subject

[Ciernaigh]

I want to say hey BOB get it together at home this year I love ya man but I am so damn tired of losing bcs games, I love that our program competes in Big 12 but man you raised that bar in 2000, maybe you need to recruit more passionate Okies to be sooners, seems we have a lot of great atheltes but not like the rocky calmus who doesnt have the ability of a lot of stars since but had heart, a hell of a lot of passion and heart. Same as Danny Bradley, get it back my man get it back.

[sooners192]

ok so jenny carlson is a horrible writer, what does any of this have to do with OU?

[ZeckBlue]

Just for that, Stoopy, i hope Gundy beats you.

You basically took no side to the issue and played the "everyone's entitled to their opinion" approach, rather than standing up for a coach & their player(s), regardless of whether or not it's an arch-rival.

Gundy's a man.

[me041787]

that's not what he said. he was defending gundy by saying that the journalists can showcase their opinions to everyone, so coaches should be able to as well. "everyone has their opinions" refers to both journalists AND coaches. he's saying that both groups should be able to express themselves. listen from :49 again.

[ZeckBlue]

I take that back. I apologize. I must have been multi-tasking and didn't listen to it clearly. I listened to it again and Stoops is right. The media is the REAL bad guy all the time... Coaches are under such tremendous pressure - to the point that anything they say or do can be held against them. Say one thing about officiating and BOOM, $10K fine. The NCAA & the media are countering to the freedom of the USA. Sorry again for the misunderstanding.

[DaleSrfan4life]

OU sucks. Texas Rules

[Ipaye011]

Obviously you didnt look at tha scoreboard, OU WON!

[soonersnake13]

u suke OU rules

[texasdude85]

Just like a dumb ass Okie. You cant even spell........

[Titleshot1]

I thought OU was suppose to be good. That team is an after thought in the big scheme of things. Another ass whuppin' in a bowl game.

[Shabutie545]

In the big scheme of things, OU is one of the winningest college football teams in the history of college football.

[scottn999]

bob stoops is a little bitch. he pissed and moaned after he lost last year to bsu in the fiesta bowl about how the mighty ou should never have had to play a lowly bsu team. now he's gotten his butt kicked by wvu. who's fault is it this time bob? i guess if you act like a bitch you get treated like a bitch by your opponents. good job bob.

[jeauxdee23]

show me some evidence where Bob Stoops "pissed and moaned." Bob Stoops warned Sooner fans for weeks prior to the BSU game that they were going to be a very tough opponent. Same thing for West Virginia. Both teams came out and executed better than we did. Bob Stoops is a classy coach and every sane college football fan would agree.

[scottn999]

stoops pissed and moaned after the fiesta bowl that playing bsu was like making a bad investment. it was very high risk and low reward for ou. meaning if they beat bsu, big deal......

here's and idea..... win a bowl game or shut your pie hole...

[boomersooner202]

Stoops rules!

[DaveStuckInOklahoma]

uh...what? choking? more like drools. but hey, assholes are like opinions. everybody has one. right? right? yeah. uh huh.

[wwrad07]

it seemed like no one in the press strata acknowledged the middleschool-like writing style of jenny carlson in that bizarre article that had some questionable undertones. (chicken anyone?) the media just quickly jumped on the side of carlson and attacked gundy.

[Selloutwithme77]

what ever what ever, there is freedom of the press, they can say what they want, the fact is that the daily oklahoman is the worst newspaper in the country and Stoops and Gundy know that, they are speaking on behalf of those who live in okc, there is basicly a bullshit article in that paper everyday and someone finally stood up and said something

[Mergman72]

Stoops is right about coaches not being able to say what they want to say about the media, but the media can say what they want about athletes and coaches. I think that this total crap that the media can do that.

[CrossingRubicon]

I agree with you 100%!

[boomersooner202]

Who thinks Bob Stoops should enter the presidential campaign he's better than anyone else out there,

[brianbmf]

couldn't have said it any better!!

[boomersooner202]

Gundy and Stoops are both right, these guys don't get paid for playing, they play for fun, so no one has the right to express inaccurate statements about them. Thats also why college ball is so much better then the NFL.

[stevoj87]

Basketball, baseball, and football... soccer seems like they still play to win and they love it... every other spot is all about those green backs once you get to the pro level. College brings intense rivals and everything is laid out on the line... Still love my eagles and root for em every Sunday but college ball in general is way better imho.

[MOBROOKS]

lord knows I have my issues with bob stoops, but I am impressed with his remarks and how he had the balls to stand up to the bullying of today's media. I agree with him 100% here.

oh yeah and by the way, HOOK EM!!!

[ParabolH]

i knew stoops was the greatest coach for oklahoma. SOONERS!

[sthomas68]

Okay I'm saying it...Coach Stoops is sexy. There!

[BOOMEROU4]

Amen Bob

[synfulwil]

Stoops, you nailed it man!

[HarryPickle]

Let's require all sports writer's to go through 2-a-day practices in the summer for a week and they tell us how players are lazy.

[tdhill84]

how about we have a media vs. football players game? all of the people who talk smack and think they know it all gets to play the people that they talk down.maybe that would shut some people's mouths up somewhat. seems fair game to me. go Gundy & Stoops!!

[a55kiker]

any volunteers to scrape carlson off the field?

[yjjeepman]

Leave that silly dumb bitch to rot. She is all about making a name for herself, and at the expense of anyone she thinks might get in her way. She doesn't know shit about sports, and if you read what she writes, it becomes obvious she is a dumbass.

[a55kiker]

amen,you must be from oklahoma.if not you know what your talking about.ive lived in oklahoma my whole life,and never liked her as a writer.

[HarryPickle]

Jenni Carlson is trying to turn sports reporting into a Hollywood Access gossip column. That is what you get when chicks write sports columns. I wish my Mom would have brought me fried chicken in a box when I played football! And screw the attitude comments. It's how you play the game, not what someone "thinks" is your demeanor.

[a55kiker]

i agree,never liked her columns.and ive been sayin it for years now.you understand caus youve played and know how it works.the writers should also,but dont always.

[erking55]

I agree with coach stoops,the media can dish it out but cant take it,loser's.

[redmustang03]

Bob your right.

[txjones7]

Jenni Carlson can dish it out but she cant take it she needs to write about donuts and tacos her favorite passtime NOT football!!

[yjjeepman]

He said it best. The media want to dish it out and badmouth everything and everyone, but turn on them and give them their own medicine, and oh hell no!!! Good job Bob, I'm not an OU fan, but I respect you a lot more now after that. Best of luck!

[CrossingRubicon]

I agree with you 100% on that.

Good job Bob.

[Kyocera234]

Great and true comment, many many people support Gundy just because we're all pretty sick of the media in general.

[jhaconsults]

An OU coach supporting the comments of an OSU coach! Somebody check to see if hell has frozen over.

As an OSU fan, all I can say is, well done, hope you win the National Championship. OK that hurt a little when I typed it.........

[isitrealgood]

A pox on the media for their damned scrutiny of college athletics. Because no college football fan reads the newspaper or watches games on television. You people either want the media to do its job, or completely not do its job.

[thcrbz]

One of the few times that I agree with Bob Stoops.

[ccna41]

sttops is right, very well stated. Those that dish it out, should swallow a heaping scoop or two themselves.

[reflector2]

Stoops is 100% right here.

[YouCanCallMeAl1022]

I'm a born and bred Florida Gator--and a major fan of Bob Stoops who lived not too far from my home in Gainesville, FL. He's absolutely right on with his words of wisdom to the media in this video.

[DEANNAMDAVIS]

I love Stoops.....

[DEANNAMDAVIS]

I love Stoops!!

[ratt8191]

Damn Media!! Never the truth!!

[solanfootball19]

This is why Iam Sooner born and Sooner Bread and when I die ill be Sooner dead!!! Thnkyou for sticking up for coaches the media has always been rediculous and they always think that they are important, they are not they all suck except a few like Blake lol

[Seep1122]

Fuck the media...

[threewideforthelead]

amen stoops!

[Timmydagator]

coach stoops is 100% right.

[joshie4330]

I am a diehard OSU fan, so it's sorta hard to say this, but Stoops is completely correct and I'll back him every single time he says how stupid the media is.

[O2bnTX2]

Yeah coach you are soooooooooo right!

reminds me of a Toby Keith song called the CRITIC

[superfick]

STOOOOOOPS!

[TimeForTimer]

STOOPS! Damn good comment! To bad you can't take Coach Fran's soon to be open job slot.
