re: Spinoff thread: How did Stoops earn the name "Big Game Bob"?

It started off because he owned Texas early in his career, and at that point the RRS is basically what Bama-LSU is now. It then became sarcastic over time

the big game moniker kind of started when he was DC at florida and they won the national title against FSU after being demolished by nebraska the previous year(with a different DC). he gets the job at oklahoma and turns that program around. he owned texas, won a national championship and then a rose bowl against washington state. the wheels fell off against kansas state, and things got worse against LSU and USC and the nickname is used sarcastically.
