Favorite line from the Charlie Strong presser......

[Mike Garland]

"We have 85 guys on scholarship. If 80 are doing it the right way, why can't the rest?"

 

[Randolph Duke]

I have no idea how Travis Haney came up with the idea that Charlie Strong isn't articulate or entertaining. I thought he came across extremely well at that press conference.

 

[Mike Garland]

Seems like he's getting more comfortable each time in front of the camera.

Charlie Strong: "If a young man doesn’t want to be part of this program, break a core value."

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

That was SO refreshing. Short, direct, to the point answers to almost all of the questions. No telling us how great so and so is, or how much fun this and that are. Truly a breath of fresh air.

Meanwhile this is the kind of garbage from Sooner land:

The entire state seems to have engaged in constant debate about what happened in the witching hour of July 25 and what now should happen to the tailback prodigy. Stoops won’t dignify the debate. But know this. He doesn’t take his responsibilities lightly. And that doesn’t mean just his responsibilities to the university.

“You can’t just get rid of kids,†Stoops said the other day. “You can’t throw them away like they’re a commodity. There’s a lot to consider.â€

That’s not a sign that Mixon will carry the ball against Texas in nine weeks. It’s merely a sign that Stoops won’t cave in to public sentiment or won’t automatically sacrifice Mixon for the greater good of the Sooners’ image. Of course, some things are out of Stoops’ hands. The Shannon case is a university affair, with a Title IX investigation ongoing. It’s conceivable that Mixon’s case rises above Stoops’ head.

C'mon, Stoops needs somebody to be a mentor and role model for DGB.

"Is that you or someone wearing your number? That can't be you...What I wanted to do was I wanted those guys to see that it was not acceptable what we were looking at."

I liked that he kept talking about player development and of course when he said that UT was the best place in the country.
