Oklahoma\u2019s home loss to Iowa State 38-31, in a game dominated by the visitors after they fell behind to the Sooners 14-0 in the first quarter, has brought out the stinking ugly in the supporters of the program.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The universal theme is the want by this so-called \u201cwe have your back\u201d fan base is \u201cfire\u201d Mike Stoops. Coach Mike is the defensive coordinator at OU and the brother of former legendary head coach Bob Stoops.\u00a0 New head man for OU, Lincoln Riley retained Mike Stoops in his transition to the lead position this year.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The history of Mike Stoops as the leader of the defense has been good at times, with a National Championship in his brothers\u00a0second year in Norman back in 2000, but his tenure has been spotty since his return to the Sooner program after a five year stint as the head man at Arizona in the PAC-12.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

With today\u2019s loss to the Cyclones, the heat is on to get Mike Stoops fired, the \u201csooner\u201d the better.\u00a0 The internet is currently burning up on this move, the word on the streets of Soonerland is this man must go, and OU will never reach the highest echelon of a great defense with Coach Mike running the show.\u00a0 It could be considered brutal, but that would be an understatement.<\/p>\n

I was in the stands in 1975 when this fan base of seventy-five thousand booed the Sooners for losing to Kansas after winning\u00a028 straight. That day, for me, it was not the loss by the defending National Champions, a team that would recover and win another title at the end of that season.\u00a0 It was the disgusting attitude of the Sooner fans that reared it\u2019s monster hate today, in spades.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When OU gets beat, and they were taken-to-the-cleaners today, I do not boo my team or act disrespectfully toward players or coaches.\u00a0 I respect them win or lose.\u00a0 And most importantly, I respect the opponent that defeated my Sooners.\u00a0 They deserve that respect.\u00a0 Sports fans, it has to be that way.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
