I suggest you get your soap box out and shine that MFer up real nice before hopping up on it the next couple days cause IF you're a man of your word then this will be your last week on the Rant.

You stupid mother fricker

Are you actually arguing that Oklahoma State is on the same planet as Florida State

Are you defending your out of conference scheduling?

God damn. I thought your act was a joke. Well done fooling me

OM needs to pick their battles when it comes to State, and Bjork vs Stricklin is not one OM is going to win.

Well, we've been to a CFP bowl


So have we

won an NCAA tournament game, conference basketball championship,


Haven't done this, but not to any of Stricklin's fault. Y'all have a tenured basketball coach that has built your program. we are rebuilding our program. Bjork had nothing to do with that..he just inherited a solid program

Omaha in the past few years.


Uh, so have we. In fact we made the National Championship in baseball.

quote:

Not to mention facility upgrades and more national exposure than ever.


You can say the same for us. Football stadium expansion completed. New athletic training facility completed. Plans and donations in the works to completely overhaul Dudy Noble in what has been deemed to be the most badass baseball park in the NCAA if we complete it.

He hired our Women's basketball coach in 2012 who has turned our program from shite into a top 15 team in 2 years.

We have had a solid tennis team the past few years.

Stricklin has accomplished and completed more than Bjork. Bjork is doing great things, but he has yet to actually complete many of your proposed projects. I think both schools have great Ads, and to act like Bjork is the best thing since white bread and Stricklin hasn't done anything is extremely homerish.

Stricklin had a much longer to-do list than Bjork. I'm not saying Stricklin is a bad AD, because he isn't. Byrne was the most brilliant AD that State has ever had and he has made Stricklin's job much easier as a result. Bjork didn't have that luxury and had to clean up a shite show of an athletics department that Boone left him. Everyone around our athletics department was divided. He came in and has unified everyone again. Stricklin didn't have to deal with any of that.


Your guy had better facilities but shite programs and shitty people before him. Our guy had shite facilities, shite programs, and good people before him.

Both guys are getting things done turning around the bad parts and making them into good. It's outlandish to say that Stricklin isn't doing anything. He still had to implement all the plans, and he still has made good hires other than Ray and most of our athletics are doing really well.

You're not giving Strick any credit simply because our men's bball team sucks and he hired Rick Ray as the coach. Well he also hired Vic Schaefer, which was a home run hire. He will be the AD that sees the new Softball/Tennis complex finished next year. Plus, he will be here to see the newest and best college baseball venue in the country come to fruition.

On his watch:
Leo Seal football complex
DWS renovation and expansion
New school golf complex and move to Old Waverly course

Those are 3 major things, 2 of which are complete
