Let's face it college football coaches lie

Let's face it, college football coaches lie.They lie to get recruits, they lie to the fans, they lie to the media and most of them lie to themselves, quite frankly.Actually they lie so often, it should be a job interview question. I do not know about recruits, but there is the perception that all coaches lie just like military recruiters.He certainly lies to the fans through the media, like when he and Kevin Wilson told Sooner fans that the 2009 offensive line would be better than the 2008 one.One place, however, that he has never lied to the fans though was his interest in another job.During Stoops' first five years in Norman, well, third through fifth more specifically, he was considered for almost every big name job that came available both college and pro.Then, Stoops always told us he wasn't interested and nothing ever came out in the papers about him even meeting with any of the teams.The one exception was Florida, were he remained mum initially and then later confided in the public that he did consider taking the job before deciding to stay at Oklahoma.So, If Stoops was truthful with the fans when the Cleveland Browns came calling, or Kansas City, Florida Gators, Washington Redskins and Notre Dame jobs opened the first time, we owe him the benefit of the doubt as those jobs open again.Stoops has had plenty of opportunities to lie to the Sooner faithful about interest in other jobs and never has before as far as we know In this world, we find out pretty much everything. Ask Tiger.While I understand the knee-jerk reaction to consider everything that comes out of a college football coaches mouth because of the Nick Sabans and the Les Miles of the world, Stoops has earned the benefit of the doubt when it comes to what he says about interest in other jobs.As long as Stoops says he is not interested Sooner fans, you should sleep well at night.When he is quiet and says nothing, like he initially did with Florida, then it is time to worry.Include a link to , if you copy this article to another site..

When the Baltimore Ravens travel to Green Bay to face the Packers on Monday night, it will be more than just a football game.

The bright lights of national TV will shine on the two teams with hopes of getting one win closer to reaching the playoffs. The legendary "Frozen Tundra" will provide a classic venue for a Monday night battle with classic Green Bay weather on the radar. Below freezing with a chance of snow is predicted, and a 100 percent chance of classic hard-hitting football. The Baltimore Ravens (6-5) are hoping to keep stride after a key win against division rival Pittsburgh.

With the temperatures low at Lambeau, the Ravens may be forced to use their three-headed monster running game with Rice, McGahee, and McClain. The Packers (7-4), despite a slow start to the season, come into the game with a three-game winning streak. Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay offense will look to take advantage of a less than stellar Baltimore secondary.

With bowl season fast approaching and the selection show set to get under way on Sunday, many people are speculating about what bowl the Virginia Tech Hokies will wind up in.Fans aren't really worried about the bowl per se but are more focused on the potential matchups. It's likely Virginia Tech will wind up in the Chick-fil-A Bowl or the Gator Bowl.The Tennessean reported earlier this week that the Hokies would take on the Volunteers in the Chick-fil-A Bowl.

I have a hard time believing the final decision has been made because Georgia Tech could end up losing the ACC Championship.If the Yellow Jackets fall to Clemson, then I think they play in Atlanta.The other possibility, though it would be more of a stretch, is playing West Virginia in the Gator Bowl.West Virginia and Virginia Tech were huge rivals in the Big East, and it's a game that everyone in Blacksburg misses. Everyone literally talks about how much they miss the battle for the Black Diamond Trophy on a weekly basis. It would be great if the athletic directors could work something out so this rivalry could be renewed during the regular season, but that's unlikely to happen in the near future. This leaves Hokie fans, and probably Mountaineer fans, yearning for thismatchup in a bowl game.If we end up playing Tennessee, it should be a good game. Lane Kiffin has that program going in the right direction, and there are many people that go to Virginia Tech that are from Southwest Virginia. I myself am not, but there seems to be a great deal of hate towards Tennessee from these people.According to Southwest Virginians, you choose one of the two teams at birth and hate the other for eternity.
