Football Is Becoming Sissified

It is becoming harder and harder to love football. The game is changing as the powers to be (NFL, NCAA) continue to work in making the game safer and safer for the players. In a perfect world the rules could be tweaked so injuries could be taken out of the equation. Problem is, football cannot be made safe in all situations, and the way the rules are being officiated on the field of play will eventually ruin the game as we know it. What to know why extreme martial arts (XFC) is so hot? You know why. Point in case: Florida St./Okla. FSU qb throws the ball over the middle near the goal line and the FSU receiver makes a catch, followed immediately by a high crunching tackle by two OU defenders. The hit was violent, extreme, and the FSU player is immediately knocked out and looses control of the ball as he falls into the end zone, on his back unconscious. Officials flags fly as the hit is ruled illegal. On bang bang plays like this the instinct of the defenders allow no split second modification of their actions. Defenders should not be flagged in non intentional injury hits. In looking at this particular play, neither OU defender did anything wrong, The hit was not helmet to helmet. If you want to get technical, as the rules read. any time a runner back uses his helmet to lead in making contact with a defender, that runner is breaking the rule. He's using his helmet to spear the tackler. Can you see the officials throw a flag every time a runner is diving into a defender or pile? Not going to happen. Simultaneously, why does an offensive coordinator draw up plays for receivers that go over the middle, knowing they are putting their player in harms way? Outlaw hits over the middle? Go to touch football? Face mask penalties are not called on runners when they stiff arm defenders when the stiff arm goes in the grill of said defender. Ever see a offensive runner called on that? The new rules are hurting the game. Enjoy the game as much as you can. Football won't be football in a few years. Thank god for extreme fighting.

OU Must Get Mental Attitude For Win Against FSU

OU's meeting with Florida State Saturday night will be won or lost by the mental attitude of the Sooners. OU is much the better team and if the game was held in Norman the Sooners would be a good touchdown or more favorite. On the road, OU is giving 4 points. Some say that OU doesn't play the top teams on the road in as Bob Stoops would say, "a good way." The Sooner coaches have had two weeks to prepare for this game and there should be no excuse for OU not to put another whipping on the Seminoles. All this crap about playing on the road is just fine and dandy, but when you are the better team, it won't wash. Teams that win National Titles win games like this. Sure, OU could still lose and contend for the NC but a backdoor approach after this game won't sit well with all Sooners, team and fans alike. Win and take care of business. Do not let the mental mistakes, turnovers, penalties, missed assignments and the lack of toughness cause you to lose because you are on the road and not mentally ready. Expect a win, no. Just win. When you beat someone by 30 the previous season and get the majority of players back, you go and win. A loss is not in the vocabulary.

Thanks To Presidents Bush and Obama/Shout Out To Our Military

It has been ten years today from the attacks on our country. In that time our government has done it's job in keeping us safe from another terrible attack from our the people who would like to see us all die. Our leaders, Presidents Bush and Obama have been diligent in the process of thwarting these scum of the earth bastards and directing our military in killing as many of these bad guys as possible. Let us all continue to be together and support President and the men and women in stopping those who want to kill the free people of the United States. Never forget, there are people in this world that want us dead and another 9-11 can happen again.

POKES SKIN WILDCATS
Arizona Has Problems

One thing is true. Don't bring a football team to Boone Pickens unless they are prepared to play. Someone needs to tell that to Arizona coach Mike Stoops. His Wildcats were skinned and eaten by the Cowboys last night in front of 54,000 Wednesday night fans and a national ESPN television audience. Coach Stoops is not a good head football coach and now in his 8th season at Tuscon his days are numbered. A raving idiot on the sidelines, Bob's little brother has proven that his "coaching them up" is not what Arizona needs. Playing his star quarterback in the final minutes of the game last night comes to mind. Why? The game is lost and you are risking injury to a future NFL quarterback? Thankfully he survived a late play hit and he didn't suffer a major injury. Stoops doesn't think, he has no clue. Then watching various Arizona players walking off the field with smiles and grins on their faces say that playing football at Arizona currently is not that big a deal. Could you imagine any of Mike Gundy's players walking off the field smiling after a loss. No. Arizona will lose its next two games (Stanford,Oregon) and will have a real test with USC the game following. Mike Stoops won't be the head coach at Arizona come December. As for the Cowboys, they are very good. The Texas A&M game will be a real test in two weeks.

Don't Look Now But Lake Hefner Is Drying Up

Don't look now but I think Leke Hefner is having a problem, with water. The north OKC lake's shoreline is shrinking inward as the drought and the City's use of the lake is taking its toll. I wonder how deep the water is at the center of the lake. I hope we get some nice State Fair rains this month. Pray for rain, please.

Big Twelve Should Stay In Existence

Everyone is so wanting Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to drop it's affilication with the Big 12 Conference and join the Pacific Athletic Conference, once the Aggies of Texas A&M join the Southeastern Conference. Sounds nice, but is it in the best interest of OU and OSU? In the end are we going to have three or four super conferences for the top layer of the NCAA, and if we do, what will it look like? If the SEC, PAC and or the ACC and BEC form to make four super conferences, what happens to the other 60 or so NCAA D1 tootball playing schools. The Big Ten do not seem to want to go to 16 and with their attitude, they would not go higher if the SEC or PAC stay at 12. Are the others going to get squeezed out of the run for a national championship in football? Will the football programs such as Baylor, Iowa State, Houston, Tulsa, just to mention a few, wither and die? Do the Sooners and Cowboys need to make the jump now, or later, or never? What about the student athletes, the fans, the cost of travel, and the influence of the media, such as ESPN and FOX Sports? I know the powers to be at OU (the AD and President) are going to do what they think is best for the school, but they could be wrong. And being wrong in this business can happen and if Joe and David make a bad decision, football as we know it, expect it and love it in this great State of Oklahoma could be changed forever in, as Coach Stoops would say, a bad way.

Keeping the Big 12 and add new teams would hurt the now conference members and the dollars they bring in. Tell that to the Univ. of Texas,or even Oklahoma, and I don't think they would say that this statement would be true. Texas wants to keep their Longhorn Network and it's $300,000,000 for the next 20 years. They would not make any more money moving to another conference. OU could have the OU Network and I wouldn't believe they would be getting much richer in a move. Both of these schools would keep their excellent scheduling which would allow them to get to the National Title game more often than if they moved to another conference.

It is time for the teams in the Big 12 to get away from their inferiority complex they have developed in regard to the SEC. That complex is driving the car right now and it might take a detour into a money ditch. The midlands and southwest schools need to get a backbone with a positive attitude to go along with it, with regard tofootball. Want to make the Big 12 better, get better players, put money into the programs, and don't think that the SEC is better than you Don't downplay the teams that want to join the conference by saying they not any good. Who is any member of the Big 12 that thinks they are better than the schools that would die to get in the conference? Baylor a better school than SMU? Tulsa? Air Force? NO! And any conference school that thinks that the SEC is the great SEC needs to get a head check. (Want to bet that half of the players at Alabama, Mississippi State, and Auburn can read on an 8th grade level?)

With a base of the nine remaining schools, adding three schools now would keep the PAC from becoming a super 16 team league. Who would they pick up if the Big 12 four don't go? New Mexico, BYU, UNLV, etc? No, for the PAC to go to 16 they need OU, Texas, and two other Big 12 schools. Missouri want to go to the Big 10? Let'em go. How many BCS titles to the Tiger's have? How many conference titles do they have in basketball? Well, we lose the St. Louis market. So, do we really have it now?

Add schools that belong to the region. Add TCU. Add SMU. Add Memphis. Add Air Force. Add Houston. Tulsa? Add a sleeping giant that is still an newborn, the Univ. of Texas San Antonio, who drew 56.000 fans at their first game in history against a D2 school. If it is good for Okie State to schedule the Roadrunners for three consecutive games beginning soon, it should be ok to get them in the conference.

Players like to have family attend their games. Go west and forget those games. Price of travel is not getting cheaper. Time zone problems will see games beginning at odd hours. Recruiting could take a hit.

The thought of OU and Texas going different ways is not much a problem. That rivalry will not be touched. Neither will the OU OSU ties. Same conference or not, they will play.

The excitement of going west, south, or even north (Big 10) is there, What about in five years? Excitement that is.

Lee Roy Selmon Was the Greatest Sooner Football Player, EVER!

Dewey, Joe and Lee Roy Pose for Upcoming Season (1974)

Three All-Americans

Lee Roy was a monster on the football field and a gentleman when off the field. He will go down as the greatest football Sooner, just as Wayman Tisdale is the greatest Sooner basketball player. The youngest Selmon, along with his older brothers, played during a time when I never missed a home game, The Selmons, Little Joe, Steve Davis, and Jimbo Elrod were some of my favorite players. The picture I have included come from my 1974 OU scrapbood. (1971 season through the 1976 season, I cut newspaper stories of OU football, including the Sunday morning Daily Oklahoman and the Oklahoma Journal which included photos of the previous days' action)

The Sooners of 1974, the team that never played on TV, was, in my opinion, the greatest Sooner team of the era. Make no mistake, Lee Roy was the greatest player on that defense and the greatest player in OU Sooner history.
I still think about what the Sooner crowd would roar after the National Anthem on Owen Field, "God Bless Mrs. Selmon."

Visiting the home field of the texas longhorns last year the unique one casts an evil eye on the tea sippers. Okie State beat the hapless cows that nice Texas evening. They will get another chance to do it again this season in Austin. (by the way, Austin is nice and texas sucks)

Letterman Funny?

http://omg.yahoo.com/news/david-letterman-jokes-about-militant-death-threat/70420

David Letterman continues to joke about the Muslim death threats he is getting. Letterman needs to understand that this is no joke and he better have someone cover his backside. It won't be so funny if some religious zelot takes his sorry ass out. Not that I don't watch and enjoy the Letterman show, but he's playing with fire on this one. The muslim situation is a life and death deal.

Teacher Education Programs Are Dead on Arrival

With the advent of Teach-For-America (TFA), teacher education programs that compose a large percentage of students enrolled in such programs in our universities and colleges across the nation need to take heed. These four/five year teacher preparation programs that train teachers are no longer needed. In Oklahoma today, you need not attend college to attain a teaching degree to become a teacher. All is needed is college degree BA/BS, be selected by TFA, take a five week summer course on teaching and TSA can instantly get you in a state classroom. Then the five week fake baby teacher is put in the classroom to see if he/she sinks or swims as a "real" teacher. Every college in Oklahoma that has a teacher education program should get real and tell every education student that they are going after a degree (a teaching degree) that is not worth the paper it is printed on. This new way to put adults in the classroom is the wave of the future. School districts can fire career teachers and bring in untrained adults to "play' teacher. What this says is that teaching is something not learned but is an inherent ability. Good luck to the students. And good luck to these new untrained teachers. As an educator for 37 years, this new way of doing business is just a bunch of horse crap.

Gov. Fallin Rips off State

Using a state law that says the Governor of Oklahoma must have security when leaving the country, Mary Fallin's trip to Ireland to see her daughter get married will cost the state $13,000 for her body guards. What a pile of cow droppings! I have many problems with this expense and I will question our first female governor's decision to go to Ireland.

First, this is a really stupid law. You going to tell me that outside of this state our head of state is going to be in dangerous situation where she needs to pack armed bodyguards? Hell, outside of this state, and probably most places in this state, nobody recognizes her, let alone would pick her out to do her harm. She is just not that important a person and an unknown outside the borders of this state.

Second, if this state is in such a dire need for money, why didn't she just book a plane ticket and leave. I don't think she would be in any trouble if she took the trip without her heat.

Third, she is not walking the walk after talking the talk. She is being a phony.

Ultimate COLLEGE Pistol Pete Maravich LSU Mix

THE MOST EXCITING PLAYER EVER IN BASKETBALL

Pete Maravich was the best college basketball player of all time. He was the most prolific scorer in college basketball history. (Pete scored more points in college basketball than any other player, and did it in 3 years, not 4. If Pete had the 3 point shot when he played, his average per game would have been over 57 points a game. My biggest regret in sports is that I didn't have the money or means to watch Pete play ever college basketball game in his career. I did watch him play three during the All-College in OKC, which were the most exciting games I have ever witnessed, period.

Road Rage: I Have It.

I have road rage. Thank god I don't carry. I don't know if I wouldn't shoot someone if I got into a confrontation with someone on the road. Last night I honked at a fool who ran a red light making a turn in front of me at the double turn onto Western going east off the access road from Memorial. The driver look back at me like "what the ...... are you honking at me for." Well, if I had gone on and ran the red light like he did at his speed I would have run him and his big ass SUV into the banking of the overhead bridge in front of him. Running red lights at excess speed is fricken dangerous and the SOB's that do so are putting lives in danger.

I sit and watch the intersection (I live on a corner in Edmond) on my block. Nobody, and I mean nobody ever comes to a full stop at the stop sign if they are the only one approaching it. Men, women, young and old, nobody comes to a full stop. With that, about a third just tap their brakes and follow on through. I don't know why we even have stop signs in intersections in residential areas. The law should be first come, first serve, yield to the right. Stop signs in Edmond are only used if pulling out or stopping is necessary to avoid a collision.

I hate lazy drivers. Lazy drivers are the ones who never signal a lane change, speed, run red lights, run stop signs, tail gate and cut in and out in heavy traffic. Enough for right now. My blood pressure is going up and I am thankfully not driving my Precious.

"Teddy Jack Eddy" Terrorized Me

Way back, say 1959 1960ish I would always go to my favorite movie theater on Saturday. The Penn Theater on North Penn between 11th and 12th Streets in Oklahoma City was a stomping ground as a young tike. I would be dropped off by my father and would spend all afternoon watching two and sometimes three features at the family owned Penn. Having befriended the owners son who was the same age as I, we had the run of the movie house, along with the other stores in the small but successful strip of businesses. It was on various Saturdays that "Teddy Jack Eddy" would tease and terrorize me and other small children. I remember the buck tooth big kid like it was yesterday. Teddy Jack lived in the McKinley neighborhood at the time and he and another famous person, Candy Clark (of American Graffiti fame-the girlfriend of Charlie Martin Smith) have been documented as knowing each other during this time. I don't remember Candy but I am sure she was a tag along with the big guy.

Father Damien-Feast Day, May 10

This past Sunday I attended Mass at St. Damien of Molokai Catholic Church in Edmond, OK. Not knowing that St. Damien's feast day was to be on May 10, I educated myself of the man and have included this post.

Father Damien or Saint Damien of Molokai, SS.CC. (Dutch: Pater Damiaan or Heilige Damiaan van Molokai; 3 January 1840 – 15 April 1889), born Jozef De Veuster, was a Roman Catholic priest from Belgium and member of the Congregation of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary,[1] a missionary religious order. He won recognition for his ministry to people with leprosy (also known as Hansen's disease), who had been placed under a government-sanctioned medical quarantine on the island of Molokaʻi in the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi.[2]

After sixteen years caring for the physical, spiritual, and emotional needs of those in the leper colony, he eventually contracted and died of the disease, and is widely considered a "martyr of charity". He is the ninth person recognized as a saint by the Catholic Church to have lived, worked, and died in what is now the United States.

In both the Latin Rite and the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church, Damien is venerated as a saint, one who is holy and worthy of public veneration and invocation. In the Anglican communion, as well as other denominations of Christianity, Damien is considered the spiritual patron for leprosy and outcasts. As the patron saint of the Diocese of Honolulu and of Hawaiʻi, Father Damien Day is celebrated statewide on 15 April. Upon his beatification by Pope John Paul II in Rome on 4 June 1995, Blessed Damien was granted a memorial feast day, which is celebrated on 10 May. Father Damien was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on Sunday 11 October 2009.[3][4] The Catholic Encyclopedia calls him "the Apostle of the Lepers",[5] and elsewhere he is known as the "leper priest".

Dick Van Dyke-A Pesonal Favorite

Growing up one of my favorite actors was Dick Van Dyke. He, along with Danny Kaye and Red Skelton, are my three favorite clowns of all time. Mr. Van Dyke's role in his "Dick Van Dyke Show" was one of the best TV shows of all time and the movie "The Art Of Love" in 1965 was my personal favorite of his. He has a new book out this month and it will be a great read.

OCU Great Gone LUTHER BURKS

One of the best NAIA players in OCU history passed away this week. A personal favorite during the 85-86 and 86-87 seasons, Burks was one of the best college players during those two years at any level of college ball. It was a hard morning the day OCU lost in round 1 of the NAIA National Tournament in KC after going 34-0. That team was Abe's best NAIA team and one of the best NAIA teams in history.

Great for Rod-Man

One of my favorite players in NBA history, Dennis Rodman will be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame this summer. I first saw Rodman play in college at SE Okla. State against my OCU Chiefs. He was a great college player, averaging somewhere north of 29 points a game and double digit rebounds for the Savages. I remember a reporter asking Abe Lemons, the big time OCU coach what he thought of Rodman and if he thought he could play in the NBA. Lemons remarked he sure could hit the two foot shot. My younger son Chad once met Rodman at Lake Texhoma sometime while he was in his crazy stage (dressing, tattoos, colored hair, Madonna) and Chad said he was a very nice man and made time to talk to him. Rodman had more than one side to him and when he was down around his home (Durant) where his adoptive family still lived he was just an good guy not trying to be someone else.

Rodman, congratulations.

Best Actor Living? Gary Oldman

One can say that actor Gary Oldman is the best actor never nominated for an Oscar. It is my opinion you might not find another living actor that is any better than Oldman, period. A personal favorite of mine for many years, Oldman is one of a few actors that I will go see in a movie, just to watch him work. He's that good. My favorite film of Oldman is Leon (The Professional-1994) followed closely by Sid and Nancy in 1986 and Dracula in 1992. You can't do better if you want a high energy actor that can change his skin in any role he takes.

A Thunder Fan For Now

As most people who know me I am a big time supporter of Oklahoma City Univ. basketball. Attending games as a child as young as five, I spent hundreds of evenings and some days inside Fredrickson Field House watching Coach Abe's Chiefs play Division 1 basketball against teams like SMU, TCU, Hardin-Simmons, Loyola of the South (New Orleans), Denver, and Creighton, just to mention a few of the older rivalries. After Abe moved on to Pan American in the 70's, Paul Hansen took over the program and the action was still exciting. Following a down time the Chiefs moved to the NAIA and though the team was in a different classification, the quality of players actually went up with the likes of Eric Manuel, Smokey McCovery, etc. Great coaches, Abe in his second turn, followed by Darrell Johnson, Win Case, and Ray Harper brought the Chiefs to the pinnacle of the NAIA, the school with the most National Titles (6) and the longest winning streak in the NAIA (58).

With the Thunder coming to town and the Stars not winning conference titles, let alone National Titles, it was enviable that my time and money would move to 4th Street instead of the OCU campus. Once the men's team gets a winning coach I would suspect that I will be back in the fold at OCU. I cannot stand by and not watch the best basketball players in the world while my school finishes in the middle of the pack.

"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"

It's about time the leaders of our country go back and look at the history of our country and decide what we, Ameicans, are all about. The pussy footing leaders of this country are going down the path of destruction for this great land and if they don't make some drastic changes in the near future, the nation as we know it, or more realistically, the nation as we knew it, won't exist for our next generation of citizens.

The key word is freedom for all in this country. Freedom for "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness," as our Declaration of Independence says. The freedom to practice religion on one's beliefs is paramount. This country was founded by people who departed their birth-lands so they could worship the God of their choice.

This country is being challenged once again by people (including countries and organizations) who do not cherish our nation's beliefs. The fact of the matter is that many of these organized groups want to see our way of life end and to get brutally frank, they want us DEAD. The want the destruction of our USA. They don't want people to have life, liberty and they sure don't want others to be happy. They want to dictate their beliefs on others, beliefs that do not give individuals freedom to live, make personal choices, and be happy. If you are a woman, you can be vioated of your human rights. If you are gay you can be vioated of your human rights. If your God is not their God you can be violated of your human rights. Many of these people would kill you for your beliefs. Does Nazi Germany ring a bell? How in any right mind can our leaders try to negotiate, work with, appease, and cower down to these groups? You are insane if you think you can work with these people.

What are the changes we, as a nation, must make?

Can't Do Better Than This (MOVIE)

Want to view a great romantic comedy? Greta Garbo and Melvin Douglas's Ninotchka (1939) is the ticket. Made in the year of some of the greatest films in history (W of Oz, Mr Smith Goes.., GWTW) this film is every bit as good and entertaining. Garbo shows that she can laugh and is not so stuffy and Melvin Douglas is always a favorite (some didn't like his choice for the movie). The Soviet Union banned this film at the time of its release. The lead character was based on the first female ambassador of the former Soviet Union.

My Favorite From the Past: Bobby Darin

Bobby Darin has been a personal favorite since I was old enough to listen to great singers. I still enjoy his music and the movies he made. A very interesting person, Mr. Darin's life was filled with suprises, ups and downs, health issues, family issues, etc. A one and only, he was a great talent.

Egypt

The thugs that run the streets of Cairo, the ones that support President Mubarak, seem to be orchestrated by the Egyptian leader. These guys are now into beating and threatening Western journalists. In times of conflict of this sort it seems that we never have a shortage of bad guys that like to mix it up and do evil deeds. No matter the side, religious thugs, state supported thugs, no matter the country, Egypt, Sudan, Great Britain and such, disorder is the name of the game.

As our White House has stated today: "The White House is calling on the Egyptian government to immediately release any journalists who have been detained in the course of covering the country's political unrest, saying the "systematic targeting" of reporters is "totally unacceptable. The Obama administration strongly condemned the behavior of pro-government supporters, after a number of international journalists -- including Fox Business Network's Ashley Webster, and Fox News' Greg Palkot and Olaf Wiig -- were attacked, intimidated and in some cases jailed in Cairo. As pro- and anti-government demonstrators continue to clash, those covering the historic events have apparently become a target as well. The Obama administration claimed the acts were part of a concerted campaign."

Its time for our President to convey to President Mubarak and to the Egyptian Military that if he doesn't halt this sort of thuggery that the billions of dollars that we give that military will stop immediately. Evil is evil and if this continues the Muslim Brotherhood, with excuses, will become the most important player in Egypt and a real war between the Egyptian Military and the citizens will commence.

Shogun's A Great Place to Eat

I was treated to a nice steak dinner at Shogun Steak House of Japan on my birthday about a week ago. One of my favorite places to eat, the steak is outstanding.

My 1st Post

I attended this same school system from grades k through 12 so in fact I have given 50 school cycles to this one system. It breaks down to 13 years as a student, 6 years as a teacher, and 31 years as building administrator with 29 as an elementary principal.
