    Dissension In The Ranks

    Players fighting among themselves and other players openly criticizing the off. play calling. Is anyone, other than me, concerned that coach Stoops may be losing this team?

    What's this about? I'm familiar with the coaching criticism, but I hadn't seen anything about in-fighting.

      Max Godby publicly criticized one of his teammates, on Twitter, and was taken to task for it by some members of the team.

        Max isn't on the team. He is a former player.

          My bad, Spirit. Thanks for pointing that out.

            On Snapchat, Blake Bone called for more passing after the game. Apparently Stephen Johnson did a like on it. Stoops said they would handle all of it internally. If that's all there was that's not much of problem. I could find no mention anywhere of actual fighting among the team/

              Never a good idea for a player to go outside the team with criticism. I've no problem with coaches publicly dogging players if they deserve it.
              Extremism is so easy. You've got your position, and that's it. It doesn't take much thought. And when you go far enough to the right you meet the same idiots coming around from the left.

                I read some more about this last night. D.Ware called Godby out on Twitter because Godby had criticized a player. Max came back on Twitter and apologized....he had received texts, tweets and calls from fans and former teammates pointing out his errors.
                I think Bones statements are what several posters have stated...
                Cases of far too many young.men reading positive publicity and crossing a line between being confident and being arrogant.
                Shouldn't have to worry about that positive stuff now.

                  The worst thing that can happen right now is fans spinning a negative narrative that players buy into and convinces them to quit....

                    I'm sure every player hangs on every word that we fans say. So we had better not be negative Nelly's. Or the season hangs in balance of how we fans react.

                          Honestly it looks like the players are way more negative than the fans right now.
