OU is in the Playoffs? Told You So!!!

[doack]

Just say no to dink and dunk, which they did last December!

Find a great QB able to hit receivers in stride.

Find a pair of future NFL RBs to play manup football.

Find an OC that allows his QB to audible and read the defenses.

All of the above takes pressure of the defense and gives them something to play for.

End result is a Big12 Championship and a Playoff berth.

Told You So!!!

JMIS Riley was a big time upgrade from heupel but Mayfield is the heartbeat of this team

Look or feel, you choose.

But, I was right about the dink and dunk junk and it pressuring the defense.

Who called me out for making the prediction of OU in the Final 4?

That's what I thought.

Enjoy the ride of a dinkless and dunkless football team!

EVERYONE needs to read the Pin at the top of the page...The one that's been 'in the way' and 'so annoying' all year!

SINCERE CONGRATS, JM...

Mayfield, Perine, Shepard and Mixon make this offense work with a great support cast of skill talent and an OL wanting to run the ball.

Perine will surpass Peterson's two year total yard rushing stat this season.

With an inexperienced OLine...the pass opens up the run...again. Thanks John Frickin Wayne.

Are you speaking to yourself in the mirror.

You defended Heupel and dink and dunk, I was polar opposite to your position of the game.

OU is now polar opposite offensively and you see the end result.

It's pinned above alright, but being right wasn't my point or endgame. I was actually predicting the obvious, but some just wanted to spin their wagon wheels in the mud, blaming it on the mud. It's quite comical TS was the #1 defender of Heupel and look where the team is now without dink and dunk. Nice to see him fail in this thread like he did all last season.

Enjoy the playoffs, because I know I will.

Boomer Sooner!

Yet you can't see we're running the same offense we did last year sans the power I occasionally. The claims you make tonight are not even mentioned in your post from last year that I never respond to.

I'll give you credit for proving that even a blind pig finds an acorn every now and again. Relish you're nuts.

FYI, I have already given it up to you in a previous thread. You were right. Pretty fricking amazing. I will only add that without Baker Mayfield this team as good as they are and as much as the changes have improved the play, OU could easily have lost the Tennessee, Baylor, and TCU games. The only thing we don't know is what Hansen could have added if Mayfield wasn't on the roster. But so what... Baker was the QB and didn't miss much playing time. So you were right and deserve the credit. GREAT JOB! Now, are the Sooners going to win the National Championship? Let us know what you think. Boomer!

 

[Rob Lewis_rivals]

The lofty prediction of last January made no mention of Baker Mayfield, and his impact on the team's success could not have been realized until the season was underway. Without him, OU would not be where it is right now. I'm not sure that even the coaches knew what they had in Mayfield at that time.

 

[JB4AU]

Clearly JM needs to be a college coach someplace...with so much "told you so" knowledge and expertise about building a football team. All Bob and his staff needed to do was read JM's blueprint on how to achieve what they achieved. JM is truly one of Bob's "undercover weapons" that he doesn't tell the public about, but he relies on it more heavily than ever.

But just for argument's sake, JM you were also one of the posters on here who VEHEMENTLY defended Norvell and condemned his firing. How did that "told you so" part of your vast football intellect work out??

Mike and I have both said the same thing. It's the players.

If you watched the second half last week, maybe you'd be reminded of that. Riley's offense wasn't so hot when Baker wasn't out there being brilliant. After watching the second half last week, I'd forgotten how I'd come to take for granted a guy who threw it so precisely, and so often made lemonade. He made play after play after play.

And when he wasn't there to do that, the offense didn't look so hot. I still wonder what would have been last year, with DGB and Mayfield and Mixon. And maybe Frank on D. It wouldn't have been this good, because we weren't as good on the back end of the defense as we are now with all those guys a year older.

It's about the players, JM. Always has been, and always will be. Coaches can put them in position to make plays, but they have to make them. And these players got hungry after last season. And after Texas this year, the seniors and other leaders did something remarkable.

And here we are. These players deserve all the credit.

BillyRay, JMIS didn't even provide a blue print in January. He only reference what had already had been planned with Riley's hire and his opinion that the schedule and talent would be better for an OU run. He didn't go into detail until this thread and had the benefit of actual play, scores, and personnel performances....like he knew Mayfield was going to excel, etc. I have to hand it to him for making such a bold prediction, but the way his is using actual events to further his prediction is kinda funny. Read the pinned thread. And where was JMIS this season??

 

[JB4AU]

Mike and I have both said the same thing. It's the players.

Bob Stoops sure does disagree with you though....hence the reason he has made so many changes on his staff the last few seasons. This OU season achieved different results because of different coaches roaming the sidelines.

At least Mike Gundy last night after the game admitted that sometimes as coaches you go into a game with a gameplan, and during the course of the game you learn the gameplan wasn't as good as you thought it was. He was shouldering the blame for the game being such a blowout since he realized the gameplan he and his staff came up with didn't work out all that well and he failed his players.

Oh I've read it against since I made that last post. He made a bold prediction, but that's about it. And the prediction he made, pretty much any program in the country could say the same thing. His post in that pinned thread is really just vanilla and is nothing groundbreaking that makes him look like some sort of prophet.

And yes...JM was gone all year long. He shows up to throw around an "I told you so" as if he predicted the future or something. It's like a rabid OU fan that predicts a national title every season. it may take 15 or more years in between him/her being right, but by golly when that yearly prediction turns out to come true they will be running around beating their drum about how they "told you so" as if they are on a football intellectual pedestal.

But like I said...I also remember his crusade on here defending Norvell and trying to convince all of us about how great he was and how stupid OU was for firing him. So it's not like JM is some sort of genius he so eagerly wants himself to be. I wonder why he left that little gem of info out of his "told you so" post??

It is as much about the coaches as it is "about the players". Players are recruited by the coaches not only for their physical abilities but also their on-the-field intellect. That intellect, along with focus and motivation, has to be further enhanced by the coaches on the college level on up.
Given the staff overhaul by Stoops in recent years, it's silly not to realize that some responsibility for the problems OU was having was on certain coaches.....the ones who were let go. The results speak for themselves. Regardless of who said what in the media or on message boards, Stoops realized his talent was underachieving and recruiting was not championship worthy. Especially on the college level, players' level of play is a direct reflection on how they are coached. It's not rocket science.

 

[Blair Sanderson_rivals]

Congrats JM. The facts are this...
1. He hasn't been around for a year because he was basically run off via the so called board coaches.
2. They are still arguing w/ him on his results. They're now doubling down and looking doubly stupid and wrong again.
3. Heuepel didn't run the same offense as Riley.
4. JM... just remember, nobody likes to be told, "I told you so".

Especially when it's coming from a poster that didn't really "tell us so". He said OU has a "best chance as any" to get to the playoffs. Well..duh??? Every team in the country has a "chance" at the beginning of the year. Using the word "chance" when describing OUs playoff hopes isn't exactly going on record as guaranteeing it.
If he had said something along the lines of OU would dominate the November portion of their schedule, win the conference title outright, and be playing prolly better than any other team in the country at this point in the season, then he may have something to brag about. But his bullet points he listed in his OP, he never even mentioned in his pinned thread.

 

[TAVlonghorn]

Players make plays and coaches put them in the position to do so... or they don't. There were no delay of game penalties this year due to the QB looking to the sideline for the audible that the coach in the booth wants called. It doesn't matter what the coach sees if the guy expected to execute it doesn't see the same thing.

The "guy expected to execute" the "same thing" is taught to do so by coaches. Yes, if he fails to execute it can be EXCLUSIVELY his (the player's) fault.....OR....it can be a flaw in how he was coached. It is a two way street. Really not worthy of debate.

OU Basketball has as good of chance as anybody to make the Final Four. Mark it down. Pin it to the top. I am starved for attention and feel the need to prove to this message board how much of an impact I have on the outcome of OU sports.

I'll also add, there is no way Heupel would have done as much this year with these same players as Riley has done. Baker has been a huge addition to the offense but the plays called to his strengths have been amazing.

But yet, you, me and a thousand of others did not post it. Whether you like it or not, I gotta give him his due. He posted it. most scoffed and laughed. Well played JM

 

[Refdawg]

If OU had not lucked into a walk-on QB, I don't know that the coaching changes would have done anything. Without Baker Mayfield, is there any way that this team would be 11-1?

Sometimes, it is about good fortune. We had Heupel in 2000. We had a freshman QB available when Aikman broke his leg in 1985, We had Steve Davis when Kerry Jackson was declared ineligible.

Which one of us, had WE been the one who actually posted the OP, would not have enjoyed a little dose of Self-Appreciation? I would have...I'd probably break my arm, patting myself on the back and saying 'Ol' Smart ME!

IMO, JM handled the entire scenario very well, and better than most anyone else would have who thought it, then posted it. He doesn't have to toot his own horn...He has others who 'Get It' to toot it for him...

Really this is amazing. Same ole thing on here, best thing that could have happened this year did happen. The egos on here are bigger than the team itself. I'm happy this AM and come here to read infighting.
If the team chemistry was the same as this board we would be winless this year.
My god can you people enjoy this instead of promoting your self worth on here.
Good call JM I don't give a hoot what the circumstances were when you made it. Long term grudges are a wasted cause in this world.
Who did what Baker,Perine,Sheperd maybe Riley. I say the OL and DL would be my vote. It's a team sport children play fair now.

 

[Blair Sanderson_rivals]

I once was pretty naive and actually thought that as a moderator I could stop the infighting crap etc. I was wrong. There are more posters on this board that enjoy the splintered factions and the name calling and tossing of insults than they do the OU game itself. I've come to realize that most are good people, great fans, but also internet FB coaches that believe they are the best thing since Baker Mayfield.

Chill everybody & enjoy the playoffs!
