Hey this is about OU!!! Back to topic!! 2005 wasn't really friendly to OU, was it? 1) Total embarassment in the championship game in January. Players quit. 2) Lose your basketball coach, after he cheated... 3) Lose to TCU, at home. 4) Get blown out by Texas. 5) Bomar cheats his ass off, screwing the school in the future. 6) Then you watch your archrival play in the game of the century, winning a thrilling fairytale finish to take the title..
Hey Scott. Refresh my memory on the A&M probation. Didn't some of your guys get caught drawing checks for work they never did in the summer? Didn't you guys get a much more severe penalty? What exactly was it? Not to dredge up old wounds...just think OU got off light compared to other similar situations.
"Not to dredge up old wounds...just think OU got off light compared to other similar situations." Are you familiar with the transgressions that ocurred at Ohio State during '01 and '02 with their basketball and football programs?.....you want me to remind you? The point here is that OU is being penalized for far lesser violations than Ohio State. Has the NCAA hierarchy suffered an epiphany since then?
Get off the Clarett stuff Gonzo that's not going to get Miami the National Championship they lost on the field and it sure makes you look like a sore loser. I do agree the NCAA seems to be inconsistent in the way they handle things. But if I read the article right the Miami AD, Paul Dee was head of the committee that made this decision.
Hey it just dawned on my that my 7 yr. old grandson beat me last year in NCAA 2005 Football when his Oklahoma team beat my Texas team. Wait til I tell him he really didn't win.
As it relates to the basketball program, we were penalized in much the same way as OU and the Coach was fired. As it relates to the football program, name one......the NCAA spent the better part of two years crawling up our a$$es primarily as a result of a New York Times hear-say hatchet piece by a writer whose only source were the fabrications of an anonymous disgruntled former employee. The claims were uncorroborated by any other source nor validated in the piece. The writer was later dismissed. The NCAA's investigation as well as the inquiry into the felon Clarett's charges - charges made of course after his dismissal from the team - found no institutional violations on the part of the Ohio State football program. At the conclusion of their investigations, the NCAA issues a statement containing their findings and the penalties for the relevant institutions. Show me the the violations found during the NCAA reported as a result of investigation of these charges against the football program. You are full of sh!t and what you're saying are the twisted fabrications of an overactive and wishful imagination.
Ok Terry I agree with you and you have had your say. Now as far as I am concerned this is the end of any conversation and accusations toward Ohio State. It's old hat and just bitterness from a fan of the team that lost.
