Tre Norwood...

[EastexHawg]

Committed to the Gooners  Have fun in a crap conference never winning nothing.

Is this a joke?  I could have sworn I just saw them win the Sugar Bowl.

[RME]

To be fair, Musk DID say "never winning nothing" so...something about double negatives and all.

The kid didn't have an offer from us and he's going to a pretty damn good team. Good for him.

Wow beat a 4 loss Barn. They ain't competing with the big boys for championships anymore than us.

They were in the playoffs last year...

I don't mind darn talking old rivals but let's be factually correct. They are in a league above us at the moment. Hopefully we got the better of the trade with Curl and close the gap.

[Muskliketusk]

We'd have beaten OU last year no doubt about it and Curl gonna be the first Tulsa area kid we take right out from under there nose.

The just verbaled to OU.

[NotSoFastMyFriend]

"darn talking"?

Really?

Can we just start using "crap" instead? Grammatically speaking, "darn" is a verb NOT a noun. It never reads correctly. It sounds like a big pile of darn.

Best of luck to Tre, but I can't root for him now that he is a Sooner. Not one school I despise more!

Never winning "nothing"?   Conference championship? Sugar Bowl?  Top 5 final season ranking?  I'll bet a lot of fans would trade the Hog season for the Sooner season any day of the week.

C'mon man. Be reasonable. This isn't a good look

[Shutup]

This thread alone will show the intelligence level of this board. Saying OU hasn't won anything, or even implying they aren't head and shoulders above the Razorback program is just pure ignorance. We continue to miss in recruiting whether it be in state or out. And don't show me the rankings I do not care. The product on the field says all I need to know. 25-26 10-22 those are the numbers I'm interested in. Petrino according to the geniuses on this board couldn't recruit yet we won almost as many games in 2 years under Petrino than we have in 4 years under Bert.

Not to mention they beat Auburn. You know, that team that destroyed us 56-3.

Transitive property isn't a good metric.

Oklahoma also got beat by Houston who got beat by SMU who got beat by TCU who got beat by us.

Auburn lost their QB to an arm injury (broken?) early in the game.  I still think OU wins the game but it would have been closer if not for the injury.

Yep, you should look at that username you got and comply. Real Hog fans hate Oklahoma and everything they stand for. F their on field performance, bunch of classless cheating thugs.

you can hate OU and everything they stand for (whatever that even means) without being dumb enough to question the historical on field performance of them as a program.  It's an awful look.

[Ramboar]

I don't care ab the history of OU bud, recent things  tell me OU recruits trash and Big Game Bum accepts this to win football games. National perception of Oklahoma being a cancer in college football overshadows any win total they have.

Frankly, you sound ridiculous.  This all stemmed from someone saying that Norwood should enjoy his time at OU winning nothing.  This is not about perception.  This is about reality.  And judging from your response, I'm not sure you're living in it.

Please go look at some of Petrinos classes after those first two and see if any of those names ring a bell.

My response has nothing to do with Tre. I wish him the best. If you look at this thread I commented a day or two before he made it official that he was a silent commit to OU. My response is you defending OU that they are some great school. OU back in the day was a good school. They are perceived in the here and now as trashy win at all cost thugs. Sometimes perception is reality.

[Muskliketusk]

I just can't believe a Arkansas kid got dooped by cheating Bob Stoops. I'd rather he went anywhere other than ou. They ain't got no morality and Tre deserve better. When OU is on sanctions from the Nixon deal and can't play in a bowl game don't say he didn't know.

On another note. Could we please get this thread either moved to General Sports or V&R? It has nothing but negative talk in it and we really don't want recruits seeing this.

Thanks!

Ou and Baylor both gonna get hammered for their slimy coaches keeping criminals around. Hide an watch.

please point out where I referred to them as a "great school".  And again, the reality it, Tre Norwood has joined a program that is clearly superior to ours as far as on field performance is concerned.  There is no arguing that.  It's literally a fact.

That doesn't mean they care about what is written to the point that it has any real impact on their decision.  And most recruits, nor their families, are on message boards.  It's just a non factor.

Now I agree that a recruit shouldn't/wouldn't base his recruiting because of what fans say on a message board. But on this topic we are just continually beating a dead horse. It's great that a local FS kid is able to go play in a P5 conference. But we are on higher ranked kids at that position and are in good standing with those kids. So everything that is being thrown around here right now is negative.

I don't have any problem with Norwood going to OU.  He didn't have an offer here so good luck to him.  I also mostly understand why we didn't offer.  I'm just saying it's a dumb look to try to disparage OU and their status as a program just b/c an Arkansas player is going there.

I don't think anyone is disparaging Oklahoma because of Norwood.  There are a ton of Hog fans who hate the gooners.  Go look at the smack talk in the Curl commit thread.

Not everbody's goal in life is to be an unbiased sports analyst.   Plenty of hog fans embrace their bias and hatred for certain teams.

I don't care how much success Texas has as a program.  I will always talk crap out them and their fans.

Exactly right. Screw OU. Not because of Norwood, becauase OU sucks. Hell I talk smack to random people wearing OU gear sometimes just for fun.

Perfect summary! I grew up on the border as I'm sure many of you on here did, and we constantly had to read about OU in our local newspaper, cross paths with their fans, etc.  Maybe they roped Tre in since he is from my same hometown, but I can't stand those goons.  Nothing gives me more joy than when they lost a big game and I didn't have to deal with their loud mouths!

Hate away if you like.  I have no love for OU myself.  But comments such as "have fun in a crap conference never winning nothing" is stupid, even beyond the grammar.

Just shows you the intelligence level of the above poster, expecting you would not find die hard Hog fans on this board who trust that the staff did their homework and know what are the best options for their team.  These same fans may also consider that what Stoops is looking for and what the Hogs are looking for can be different from time to time.  Yes, I know OU has a good track record to be infatuated with, but some of us will leave that infatuation to Sooner fans.

[Oklahawg]

When you let chatter about OU dominate a thread about a non-recruit...time to shut this down.
