Oklahoma Big 12 Trophy Broken
Seriously, you can't make this stuff up. Do they have any common sense down there? Look at how they decided to move their Big 12 trophies - a glass bowl with each team in the conference logo etched into it.

EDIT: Tried to have some fun with the title but well, I guess it wasn't funny. More descriptive title here.

The OT post made me fart. Does that count?

From the title, thought this was a story about some Oklahoma players who have a medical problem with "jumping offsides" a lot.

However, trophy #4 actually did make my jaw drop.
January 29th, 2017 at 10:20 AM ^
Did it for me

Why is this a new meaning to boomer sooner?
January 29th, 2017 at 10:16 AM ^
I thought this was going to be thoughtful discussion about the dangers of fracking.

Where the boomer came from.

Wow! At least tape them on the cart with masking tape or something. If NDSU had trophies from a conference like that and I happened to break one, pretty sure the whole town of Fargo would exile me to the bad lands. Yes they are lunatics here. Sad to say I think it rubs off on me.

Don't tell me they are irrelevant.
Location? Norman is a village.
University itself? Oklahoma is, well, Oklahoma, slightly better than Oakland University.
Recruiting? They do get a lot from Texas.
Coaching? Perhaps.

The thing that makes Oklahoma so good and consistent is their stability. They've had the same athletic director since 1998 and Bob Stoops has been there since 1999. Stoops has a history of making great coaching hires.
Oklahoma also has consistently recruited Texas well. There is also a huge alumni base in California which has lead to some recruiting connections over there.
Oklahoma has some pretty decent resources. Texas is the only school in the Big 12 that spends more, and the third place school spends $30 million less than OU.
Oklahoma is not comparable academics wise to Michigan, nor is Norman to Ann Arbor. But Norman is still a fairly nice town to live in outside of Tornado season. OU is also ranked as the 111th best school in the US News and Report which is nothing to scoff at. The reason I went to Oklahoma for grad school over Michigan is that Oklahoma simply had a better program in what I wanted to study.

I was wondering the same thing. Since stoops has been there, they have more Big 12 titles (10) than home losses (101-9).
They recruit well, but no where near Alabama or even Michigan level. Stoops is just a good coach, and it doesn't hurt that the Big 12 has been relatively weak recently

The college football championship trophy and these others are these ovid bits of crystals - why? Why? The Lombardi trophy is nice solid piece of metal. Other major trophies are substantial cups. WHY CRYSTAL!? Are they just asking to see them fall, crash and shatter into bits?
Was this some outside consultant influence? Or worse, someone's spouse exerting their effect?
January 29th, 2017 at 10:29 AM ^
When I was at OU. It was old and crappy back then. Back then means, Brian bozworth was an LB, the QB one year was a freshman name, Troy Akman, and Barry Switzer was the coach.

When did you graduate?
January 29th, 2017 at 5:32 PM ^
But the oil boom, went bust, and I switch degrees from chemE to EE; then moved back home to finish out the EE degree.

Who was a graduate from a school in Stillwater.
Yes, I went there!

So I figured out how to get that picture in my post but then I saw it was kinda fuzzy and wanted to upload a new clearer version but I can no longer edit my post, what's up with that?

Never heard of bungee cords to tie them down!

Joel, there's a crack in my egg

for the Risky Business quote.

Did it pick a fight with Joe Mixon?
January 29th, 2017 at 11:50 AM ^
The results look similar -- everything smashed.
January 29th, 2017 at 11:43 AM ^
All I see is the broken glass.

Just like the Big 12.

I mean, how did it get this far before someone realized that this isn't the safest mode of transport for highly breakable objects?
Bad News: The Big 12 Championship Trophy was broken today.
Good News: We have 9 others.#BoomerSooner pic.twitter.com/TeXnur0RTn— Lincoln Riley (@LincolnRiley) January 28, 2017

the Big 12 itself is broken so good symbolism

I think i read the old BCS trophy was dropped and shaterred by one team
Can't decide which is less valuable - the shitty conference that killed defense, or the mythical award
