Doug Gottlieb…Grow Up

I was just driving home for an early break from work and former Eddie Sutton transfer Doug Gottlieb was on the air with Mark Rodgers on the Sports Animal.

I know there is a lot of emotion on this SEC deal for the O State people because they in essence aren’t going to have OU and Texas subsidizing their university’s athletic program much longer.

But Doug Gottlieb…get a grip.

Texas could care less about anybody but themselves, but to say OU stabbed O State in the back is absurd delusional stupidity. David Boren could have easily moved the Sooners to the SEC back when Nebraska, Colorado, and Texas A&M left the conference. The A&M Chancellor literally begged the Sooners to make the jump to the SEC and take the spot Missouri now occupies.

Instead…OU stayed and carried this piece of junk bond football league and made O State’s marketablility whatever it is today.

OU begged the other schools to expand to twevle teams but ADs like the ultra cheap Mike Holder didn’t want want to dilute the TV payout shares from ten to twelve.

OU was on board with Louisville and if the parasitic ADs like Holder were serious about making the Big 12 a legit league– Bob Bowlsby who by the way was AD at Stanford at one point in his career would have only had to find one more team to make the league whole again. My choice would have been Cincy to pair West Virginia with a regional partner in the league.

I love Big 12 hoops—so it’s not like I’m not losing something in all of this as well.

Others in this state begged O State to play a nationally relevant non schedule to upgrade their national brand.

But again no go from Holder and his chosen one Mullet King.

So you know what Doug Gottlieb…cry me a river.

You see… I think in the end this is going to be good for O State guys like you and Mike Gundy who apparently never grew up from their college days and could assimilate into real everyday living. The enabling by OU is going to come to an end. It’s time to grow up.

Since Kirby Holcutt the AD at Texas Tech used to be involved at Stanford and was recently on the College Football Selection Committee….what I would suggest is that Kirby and President Kayse go meet with the PAC 12 and see if Colorado, Utah, and both Arizona schools would be interested in absorbing O State and Texas Tech into that PAC 12 divison….or vice versa by those four coming to the Big 12.

I’d also challenge my football coach to show the rest of the football world that his program is worthy of being in any league by beating the Sooners on November 27th inside of Boone Pickens Satdium.

And here’s the real irony for you Doug Gottlieb…if O State had been invited…my guess is Gundy would be hesitant about making the move because he’d have to play real opponents every week instead of playing in a league in which half of the teams should be in the AAC.

If I were you I’d do some thinking before ever going on the Mark Rodgers Show again and talking delusional nonsense. You sounded like a Little League mother who’s baby didn’t make the traveling team.

On a sidenote…Mark Rodgers you were extremely weak on your show today. Extremely weak. If you’re going to host guests on the air…then at some point please inject some truth into the interview. I find it amazing you haven’t become a regular contributor at the Daily Thunder.

My friend, Little Doug Gottlieb chewed you up and spit you out and you just sat there.

Very sad.
