No one in the Big-12 plays serious defense, either *

That’s what makes Bobby a perfect fit. *

In a land of big chunks, you'd think BK would be king.

They're thinking they're not worthy given BK's stature. *

I think it will prove to be a mitake to have let him go *

He flat out quit the team! Not interested in our standards

He knew what he had to do.


This is where Kelly's undiplomatic approach hurts him.

I do believe him when he said that Kareem won the starting job. But I'm sure he would've liked Hayes to take 40%+ of the snaps and be an anchor against the run; I doubt he's excited by Ade Ogundeji having to now take 20 to 30 snaps a game.

Hayes will likely be a rotation player at Oklahoma, too - it's not like he transferred to a low-D1 school where he could be the unquestioned starter. He would've likely been willing to stay as a rotation player at ND, too, if Shanty weren't such a fucking dick about pretty much everything he does in life.

The conversation they most likely had about his future is one that could've been very different if Kelly had learned (somewhere along the line) to be humble, self-critical, constructive or conciliatory in his approach. At this point, the ship has sailed on that front - he's a dick for a life, it would seem.


Kelly went 10-3...why would need to be humble? *

Because "9-4 just ain't good enough."

Kelly probably has Weis' quote up in his office as a bar he barely needs to get over.


He started all year and plugged up his side

Great run stopper. I don’t think either Kareem or Ade have that ability. That said, he’s more of a 3-4 end type.


I wish we had Jay back this year.

Both him and Kareem were battling for a spot. They were pushing each other.

That was something that was missing on our DL for a long time.

With Hayes now gone Kareem has to be ready to carry a much larger work load. Maybe 50-60 snaps compared to last years 25. Plus be counted on to be a run stuffer. It would have been great to rotate both those guys this year.


for all we know he was smoking MARIJUANA!

Can we please give coach Kelly the benefit of the doubt here?


Good for him. Hope he has tremendous success there. *
