Not a fan of the recent play and change in offensive style but I would never under any circumstances boo my team or coach. Just how I roll.
I disagree with booing, but it is a very stupid practice.Ubuntu said:

The Oklahoma drill, should be reserved for the "proving" season in football, spring practice, and early fall drills before the starters have been announced.
Minutes before an actual game is not the time to "prove" yourself.
By the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved.
Please don't boo the players. That are BU just like we are. The coaches on the other hand, there are ways to reach out to them. Email, twitter, etc. If you want to voice your opinion do it that way. Don't boo the players.
there is a term for all this worry over the Oklahoma drill pre-game. Let me think of it. Oh yeah, MANUFACTURED DRAMA. Quit thinking like cowards and start thinking like champions. Do you want a tough football team? Toughness is a skill that needs to be practiced. You don't get tough without getting used to contact.
The past is last! Be a champion today!

Hey!
We are improving week to week.
We are the best 0-3 team in the nation. Toughest too.
We have one the best punters in all of CFB.
Man, in a few years we are gonna tear this league UP!
Redshirts? We don't need no stinking redshirts! hahahahahaha!
Relax! Rhule is right in his element. He stunk it up his first year at Temple also. We gonna be FINE.
AND: We are building these guys into absolute monsters on the Little Tykes toy JamFest!
I prefer WINNING football teams but to each his own.OldSchoolBU said:

Dumb post is dumb. This is not a way to get tough. It is a way to wear out your body/impede healing.OldSchoolBU said:

How many of the last 15 national champs run this drill?
college or pro
I like winners also. Briles was a winner on the field no doubt but a loser in managing a program. And that is why we have the mess that we have. But it is okay, Rhule will get it turned around.

In the meantime, run along to the Florida Atlantic message board. Congrats on the 1-2 start and big win over Bethune Cookman. That all star defensive coordinator that we used to have is lighting it up at Arizona State I hear. Gave up 52 to a depleted Texas Tech team. Sad.

when you get your own program run it like you want to. I don't have a problem with it. Players take on about 60-90 "Oklahoma drills" in a game and people are worried about one more pre-game? I just don't get it. Serious making a mountain out of a molehill.Noghri said:Dumb post is dumb. This is not a way to get tough. It is a way to wear out your body/impede healing.OldSchoolBU said:

Attitude is a decision.
That's right we will be okay--just see items 4-6. Woooo!!
extra points for recognizing the movie reference in my post....
Has anyone ever heard of a team doing the Oklahoma Drill during pre-game, at any level? I haven't! With how thin our depth is, it seems like it's cutting off our nose to spite our face!
Thanks the WIN over Bethune Cookman was big cause the last thing you ever want to do is lose to DII prog....OldSchoolBU said:I like winners also.

Thanks, Thee Jr., we get it. You're a tough old bird and respect how it was done "in the old days", even though players are about 25-30% bigger and stronger and 99% of D1 teams DON'T do this drill any longer.OldSchoolBU said:when you get your own program run it like you want to.

But you just continue on thinking that Rhule is infallible as we start a new dynasty of irrelevance.
Booing my team (players & coaches) is something with which I fundamentally disagree.

We did Oklahoma drill in high school football. Up to the week before season started. Then helmets and shoulder pads the rest of the season. Nothing but conditioning and running plays over and over. But thee will call us pencil necks. Old school might too thing is we sent 2 to ou. 2 to okie junior 2 to Louisville 1 to air force. That was just my senior year. And thee will scream I played the NFL! So did my coaches and guess what brain damaged cte tard,they actually had more than a cup of coffee on the league. One is in hof.
Oklahoma drill is so stupid

I have no opinion on the matter, but to answer your question, I did a quick google search and found this video of Miami doing the Oklahoma drill before playing Duke in 2011.CottonValley said:

The good ol' "i have no rebuttal so obviously YOU just need to relax" technique.
Oklahoma drill in pregame was already weird enough. Oklahoma drill on another team's field in pregame is just really creepy.
Oklahoma drill prior to Oklahoma drilling will be embarrassing.

Unironically Miami stunk and that coach isn't the head of any program today.
Edit: Funny enough? That head coach was Rhules boss for 5+ years at Temple. Al Golden.
Because our team still isn't tough enough Rhule is replacing the Oklahoma drills with Russian Roulette.
I swear you all are making something out of the biggest bag of nothing. You act the players are going straight at each other with helmet to helmet hits. They are just wrestling a little bit.
You know who else does Oklahoma drills? Oklahoma. The team some of you fear so much. I guess Bob Stoops was an unenlightened idiot also as he completely dominated this conference over the last 15 years.
I fear for this generation. Hopefully no war or real adversity breaks out when you all are so concerned about a little pre-game wrestling.

"This generation" has been fighting a war for a decade. Dimwit.
I haven't read all of the responses so this may have already been stated.
In the first few seasons with Scott Drew, just prior to top off, the team would practice taking charges. I've never seen any other team do that before or since, only Drew's early teams. He was setting a tone for how he wanted his team to play.
I'm guessing Rhule is setting the tone for how he wants his team to play. I'll be shocked if I see this continue in years 4+.
Injuries happen for a myriad of reasons. Whatever injuries occur during Oklahoma drills this year will be collateral damage to the building of a culture.
If you want to remain a sub .500 team for years to come, convince the staff we don't need to work on toughness.

Can we just combine the 2 embarrassing pieces into one and get it out of the way before the game starts?
Let's put the Little Tykes goal in the middle of the field. Guy that wins the Oklahoma drill gets to dunk balls out on the LT.

It really makes no sense to do this drill pregame
If all the work hasn't been done prior to game day its too late
All the hard work has to be done in spring and fall

We have 2 classes that are champions of the conference last I checked, and before the current coaches we led the league in rushing every year.
Yep, sounds like weaklings that don't know how to win to me! The rewriting of "facts" by the We Love Rhule No Matter What crowd is just sad.

Yeah, those 2 were totally 0-3 last season.
Wait, they weren't?
Nice "facts" there, but maybe if you're going to mislead you should try it on the uneducated. People around here know we're far worse this year so far than we've been since...wait, we've never lost to an FCS team before? Crap, this is the worst start ever objectively, and with a bowl-winning team from last season!

How many of the last 15 national champs run this drill?
college or pro
We lost at least one starting OL to the drill and then the coach responsible...wait for it...complains about a lack of depth on the OL!
Facts, again. Sorry to keep telling the truth even when it hurts. Maybe it'll make you "tough"?
