OUInsider - Owen Field

It irks me just a bit the way he couches some of these things. "...it's part of what we built here..."

No, Bob. Quit acting like you are just a victim of your own success. Those expectations were here before you had cut any teeth and they will be here long after we are all dead and buried, presuming college football is still being played. The expectations were part of the deal when you signed on to coach here; and they were emboldened, highlighted and underlined every time you used the prospect of leaving for another job as leverage to improve your own situation (a point that Alan H was very astute to raise).

when it comes to recruiting i always look at the teams we're competing against for a certain player.

when you look at our o-line and def. front 7 the past 3 or 4 years we have been competing against programs like mizz. , tech , osu , ect. are there some exceptions ......yes.

i talking about teams that actually make an offer.
