Bob Stoops on Retirement, Oklahoma Legends, and Vanny Woodhead's Demise
Vanny Woodhead has officially entered the "injured" list. Big Cat and PFT recorded the start of the show from the side of a highway in Pennsylvania after a front tire decided to self-destruct. It was a poetic moment of shame as Big Cat had to explain to AAA that they were driving a 1993 Chevy Gladiator. Before the breakdown, they were in Youngstown, Ohio, for a charity bocce tournament hosted by the Stoops family and Bo Pelini.
PFT CommenterIn Youngstown, 90% of a bar will turn around if you yell 'Hey Coach'
It's like if you ever go to Chuck E. Cheese and say, hey, Dad, just scream out, Dad, everybody turns around. If you go into the bocce ball tournament and say, hey, Coach, like 90% of the bar turns around. They're like, you talking to me?
Jordan Spieth provided some golf magic with a bunker walk-off, though the celebration was typical for the sport. PFT thinks golf needs to lean into its lack of athleticism when the winning putt drops.
PFT CommenterGolf celebrations are best when they are simple hat tips rather than failed physical coordination
I think golf celebrations are best executed when it's just the two guys taking their hats off and tipping them at each other. Just like a real, let's keep it, let's crawl before we learn how to walk, let alone run. The golf celebration is just you take your visor off before you shake the guy's hand.
In other news, the Mets promoted Tim Tebow to Advanced A-ball, which is definitely a move for the love of the game and not at all because the Bobby Bonilla check is due. PFT is already looking toward the inevitable next step for the Tebow brand.
PFT CommenterTim Tebow will be in the Major Leagues later this year
The Mets have such bad injuries that [Tim] Tebow is just going to be on the Mets. He's going to be in the major leagues later on this year.
Mount Rushmore of Road Trip Activities
Being stranded on the highway inspired a Mount Rushmore of road trip essentials. Big Cat went with the "sweet and salty mix" and classic rock, arguing that the legends of the 70s were the original highway kings.
Big Cat60s and 70s rock was specifically made to be listened to in a car on the highway
Bands in the late 60s and 70s made all of their music so that it sounded beautiful in a car going 75 miles on the highway.
He also shared his strategy for making it big while crossing state lines. It’s not gambling if it’s a diversified portfolio of scratch-offs.
Big CatDiversify your investment by buying scratch tickets in multiple states to become a millionaire
On a road trip, little pro tip, you buy scratch tickets or lotto tickets at every single stop in multiple different states. It's called diversifying your investment. And you will then become a millionaire.
Bob Stoops
Former Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops joined the show from the back of Vanny Woodhead while the van was still functional. He addressed his sudden retirement, making it clear that he wasn't pushed out and there were no secret health scares. He’s just ready for his own time, and even a massive paycheck wouldn't bring him back to the sidelines.
Bob StoopsI would not return to coaching even for a $100 million offer
Why would I do that? I would have stayed doing what I was doing. So I was ready to make $6 million almost at Oklahoma. Already built, already ready to roll. $50 million. $100 million. Obviously, it's not about money. So, no, I'm good.
Stoops spent 18 and a half years in Norman and feels the program is in the perfect spot for Lincoln Riley to take over.
Bob StoopsLincoln Riley is the right character and guy to lead Oklahoma forward
Lincoln's the right guy. He's got all the right attributes and character to be the guy to continue to lead the program forward. And I knew that. And I believed strongly that the administration would believe that as well.
He reminisced about coaching absolute freaks like Adrian Peterson. According to Stoops, AD didn't need much coaching; the seniors knew he was the alpha the second he stepped on campus.
Bob StoopsAdrian Peterson was the clear alpha on the team from the day he arrived at Oklahoma
That guy from the day he walked on campus... he was the man. I mean, you know it, right? You know something's up when all the seniors come through your office, they're like 'Coach, have you seen him?'... he was running the show from the day he stepped on campus.
He also defended Mike Leach, his former offensive coordinator, regarding the infamous "shed" story.
Bob StoopsThe story about Mike Leach locking a player in a shed is likely misunderstood
I don't believe [Mike Leach] did it then either. I think that whole story got a little bit mixed up.
The Summer of Paul George and NBA Chaos
The NBA offseason is heating up, and Kevin Love is once again the odd man out in Cleveland. Big Cat thinks LeBron has found the ideal person to take the blame for everything.
Big CatKevin Love is the perfect fall guy for LeBron James because he won't talk back
Actually we kind of predicted this, that Kevin Love was going to be the fall guy. Everyone knows you need a fall guy. Chris Carter told everyone, need a fall guy. Kevin Love is the perfect fall guy for LeBron [James] because Kevin Love's never going to say anything. He's not going to subtweet. He's just going to go about his business.
Ice Cube’s Big 3 league also tipped off, but it quickly turned into a triage center for retired stars. Big Cat has a solution to make the injuries more entertaining for the fans at home.
Big CatThe Big 3 should hire Bob Huggins to kiss players who get injured on the sidelines
We hire our friend Bob Huggins on retainer, and he just stands on the sidelines so he can kiss everyone who gets injured. Because you know it's like, hey, half the guys you're here to watch are going to get injured, but you get to see Bob Huggins mouth kiss them.
Finally, Jimmy Butler arrived in Minnesota with a fanny pack and a football, which led to a massive territorial dispute over his nickname. Big Cat is refusing to let the Timberwolves fans inherit the Stacey King classic, but PFT is handing out the rights freely.
Big CatMinnesota fans are not allowed to use the nickname 'Jimmy G. Buckets'
You do not get to call him Jimmy G. Buckets. That's Stacey King. That doesn't transfer. That does not transfer. Stacey can call him Jimmy G Buckets. Jimmy gets buckets. You can't then have that.
PFT CommenterI am officially authorizing Minnesota fans to call Jimmy Butler 'Jimmy G. Buckets'
I'm going to go ahead right now and officially authorize Minnesota to call him Jimmy G Buckets. If you live in Minnesota, go for it.
Hopefully, AAA arrives before the guys have to start eating the upholstery of the van.
