Stay-or-Go Tracker: Who is Returning, Who is Not in 2021

@robert28

Ur a lil weasel trying to suck the enjoyment out of everything good about OSU.

I’m not the one coaching the football team and p***ing off the fans because I can’t get at least 2nd place with veteran players.

[robert28]

That has nothing to do with my post. Ur a bad fan because how u treat all sports.

[ar1]

You’re a bad fan for not expecting the program to improve.

[joe15]

I guess I’m trying to figure out what most OSU fans enjoy about going to an average bowl game every season with a 3rd place finish or lower. I think most of them probably would like to see a little more. I will say in order for that to happen you have to have higher goals than 37th in recruiting and not be okay with being a middle of the pack Big 12 team.

[robert28]

Ar0 calls what the wrestlers wear uniforms( not singlets). Joe has stated he doesn’t care about the girls bb team( this being the only one he has stated so far).
Joe dont care about walkons injured or players lower then 4 stars.
Only things u guys want is more. More wins more 4 stars more conf. Titles. That just tells me u have a want problem this is a sin in more then one way.
Ar0 has even been to and pay his respect to the ten

[tulsa1]

It’s simple… Most don’t have high expectations.
Until that changes it’s a waste of energy.

[robert28]

So u want change

Man, then I found this gem of a conversation. Do you see how it’s almost civil between us? Probably because after being so wrong, after saying how impossible it would be for us to finish second, you just whine and moan when we wildly exceed your expectations. You aren’t a fan. You’re a hater. If a team does what you say is impossible, you should be thrilled. Instead, you find fault that they didn’t exceed even the excess of your expectations. Oooor, you’re just full if crap and you didn’t believe anything you said which is just you peeing in everyone’s corn flakes for your jollies.

Man, I seem like a dad gum sage out here calling a 2nd place finish in January '21.

@jake4

OU’s going to OU. We’ll have a puncher’s chance. I could see us finishing second, though. We go where QB1 takes us. If Sanders makes the leap, it’s all out there to take. If he doesn’t, we’re scrapping against everyone like this year.

@joe15

I thinking OSU finishes 4th with who is returning would be overachieving this year. Considering we are a middle of the pack Big 12 team the past few years.

@joe15

We’ve finished 2nd once in the past nine seasons and you think we are going to finish that high? We couldn’t even finish that high with the 2017 team. You have more confidence than most OSU fans.

@jake4

I’m not predicting it. I’m just saying it’s possible. If Sanders can make better decisions, we’ll markedly improve. The O-line should be better than last year’s mash unit, so that should give him more time and a more reliable run game to lean on. The rest is can he sit down with Coach Rattay and learn from his film. If Sanders doesn’t step up, we need to go all in on giving Illingworth his shot ASAP.

We’re returning some playmakers on D. I trust Knowles to get the rest of the D up to a solid level. We lose Wallace which is a hard pill, but I think there are WRs ready to step in.

@joe15

I like the idea and optimism but I just don’t see it happening. Even with some of our best teams in the past (2013, 2016, 2017) we still couldn’t find a way to finish 2nd. That’s not a knock against the players but rather the coach.

How many times have we posted on this forum before the season “This is the year!!!” or “We could make a run!!!” only to watch Mike Gundy lead this team to yet another bedlam loss, no conference title appearance, and another We-Don’t-Care bowl?

Maybe this sounds like I’m being negative but our recent history (in my opinion anyway) shows me not to be too optimistic about the football program even if we returned all 22 starters. That’s because

[joe15]

I’m just really glad Knowles defense was so good it was able to get us to a 2nd place finish.

[robert28]

I glad your wrong alot.

[jake4]

Everything you said then was stupid. Everything you’ve said since then is stupid.

[jake4]

Oh dang, @joe15 is supposed to be gone already. Go away and never return.

@jake4

You and Robert should have a wager. Loser leaves The Chamber forever. 4th or lower, Robert leaves. 3rd or higher, you leave.

@joe15

I’d be willing to take that bet. I couldn’t see Robert doing it though.

[joe15]

Robert never made the bet though. Sorry.

[jake4]

Yet another dishonorable action from a sleazeball.

[joe15]

Dishonorable? How can something be dishonorable if an agreement was never made? Do you just make this stuff up in your head as you go along?

[jake4]

You were so arrogant and sure of yourself betting against “your” team. Time to pack it up and move along, welch.

[ar1]

I’ve bet against my team the last 8 years in Bedlam and it’s been quite profitable.

[jake4]

So glad you lost money this year. I hope it was a lot. I hope you missed it. Hope you lose even more next year.

[joe15]

Maybe Gundy should start proving us wrong more often instead of proving us right? Some people can see the writing on the wall while others can’t. I’ve got 10 years of solid evidence so far that tells me another conference title looks grim as long as OU is still here, and if Baylor remains strong.
