Next semester, Sooners will have the chance to take a new look at gender and its implications in a refurbished exposi-tory writing class.
Transcending Gender, taught by ex-pository writing professor Eric Bosse, will teach students about gender and how it relates to society. The class will feature a particular interest on how transgender individuals fit into society, although the main goal of the class is to teach academic writing, Bosse said.
Bosse first taught the class during fall 2010 and contin-ued to teach it through fall 2011. He then dropped the class for spring 2012 to make room for another expository writ-ing class, The Writing Life, and hasn’t taught the gender course since.
After recognizing that Transcending Gender is the class he is most compelled to teach, Bosse is bringing back the class for the spring 2013 semester, this time adding a sec-ond section.
“I realized that of the three courses I teach, the

Oklahoma’s reputation as an oil and gas state has drawn international attention to OU.
The China University of Petroleum —Beijing senior executive delegation vis-ited OU on Tuesday to meet several uni-versity leaders and discuss future training initiatives.
Larry Grillot, College of Earth and Energy dean, Tom Landers, College of Engineering dean, Outreach Vice President James P. Pappas and other
university leaders met with the delega-tion, said Richard Little, senior associate vice president for University Outreach.
The China University of Petroleum —Beijing senior executive delegation is comprised of five individuals: the vice president of the university (who is heading the delegation), the dean and vice dean of petroleum engineering, a faculty member and the director of training, Little said.
A ceremony was held at 11:30 a.m. in the Thurman J. White Forum Building to ded-icate OU as a training base for the China University of Petroleum—Beijing, Little said.

Amidst budget declines and limited tenured fac-ulty, OU is participating in a national survey to take a more careful look at ad-junct faculty salaries.
T h e C o l l e g e a n d University Professional Association for Human Resources, or CUPA-HR , has been surveying the salaries of adjunct faculty at universities across the nation, according to the organization’s website.
The association defines adjunct faculty as “non-tenured faculty serving in a temporary or auxiliary capacity to teach specific courses on a course-by-course basis,” according to the website. It excludes regular part-time faculty (because they are not paid on a course-by-course basis), graduate assis-tants, full-time profes-sional staff of the institu-tion and appointees who teach non-credit courses exclusively.
“All the public universi-ties are having to use more of these kinds of folks, be-cause we can’t afford to hire more tenured faculty because of the decline in budget,” said Nancy Mergler, senior vice-pres-ident and provost for OU’s Norman campus.
Universities across the country are using this sur-vey to take a closer look at how their adjunct faculty members are being paid, Mergler said. Through this survey, OU can see how other universities are paying adjunct faculty

Deep behind the walls o f t h e Gay l o rd C o l l e g e of Journalism and Mass Communication, a small army of OU students has been working with dedi-cation during weekends throughout this semester to put together a television show. The show “Twenty Somethings” still is in pro-duction and will be a six-episode series about four mid-20s students finding their way in a new, big and sometimes awkward univer-sity experience.
The idea really sprouted last spring between Jeremy D i c k i e - C l a r d y , f o r m e r Student Film Production Club president and current president Kelsey Hightower, Hightower said.

After a semester of re-searching, programming and preparing, the student teams at OU’s Center for the Creation of Economic Wealth presented their recommen-dations for each project dur-ing final presentations.
Each team presented their semester research in 15-min-ute presentations at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History’s Robert S. Kerr Auditorium. The teams detailed their products and initiatives, target markets, analysis of competitors and the potential profit of each project.
The first team to pres-ent was the Technology Commercialization team, which worked on marketing a new X-Band radar tech-nology called the Ranger
Radar, which was developed by Enterprise Electronic Corporation with research-ers at OU’s Advanced Radar Research Center.
The four-person radar team then presented its prod-uct: a small, portable radar system called Ranger, whose improved technology and
weather prediction system can be used by oil companies with deep-water platforms to save money.
The radar team waited through the small audience’s massive applause to answer the first questions of the

The China University of Petroleum—Beijing is “China’s best university fo-cused on oil-related ma-jors,” according to China’s University and College A d m i s s i o n S y s t e m website.
OU has done training with the China University of Petroleum —Beijing and China’s national oil company, PetroChina, over the past several years, Little said. OU has been requested to pro-vide training for these and other Chinese companies because of its expertise in the College of Earth and Energy.
Little said choosing OU to be the China University of Petroleum —Beijing’s training base is a great honor.
OU and the China University of Petroleum — Beijing verbally agreed to
continue their discussions about setting up new train-ing initiatives and oppor-tunities, Little said.
Most of the initiatives involving faculty will take place during summer so faculty members won’t have conflicts with the courses they teach, Little said. University Outreach has been working with Grillot, Pappas and Provost Nancy Mergler to discuss
different training initiatives, making sure not to compromise or take away from faculty members’ teaching time.
Additionally, Outreach coordinates with the energy industry to have tours and hands-on application, and in that case faculty aren’t involved, Little said.
China is the largest emerging energy market in the world, and Oklahoma is setting the standards for extracting oil, Little said. He said the partnership is great for OU, the College of Earth and Energy and OU Outreach.
“I think that it’s a wonderful opportu-nity to share the training and research expertise of our faculty and also give our faculty an opportunity to interface with their counterparts in China,” Little said.

and use that to adjust OU’s adjunct faculty salaries.
Adjunct faculty salary de-pends on the faculty mem-bers’ qualifications and the departments they’re teach-ing courses in, she said.
For example, adjunct faculty members teaching courses in the College of Engineering will receive a median of $5,800 a course, said Shauna Singleton, fi-nancial coordinator for the OU College of Engineering.
Adjunct Ph.D. profes-sors will receive $6,000 a course to teach a course in the Department of History, while non-Ph.D. adjuncts will receive $4,500 a course, said Robert Griswold, de-partment chairman for the Department of History.
R e s e a r c h e r s a t O U ’s Institutional Research and Reporting office have been collecting the salary data in order of faculty rank and discipline, said Cheryl Jorgenson, associate pro-vost and director of OU’s Institutional Research of-fice. This data will be added to the fall 2012 data on the CUPA-HR website.
CUPA-HR’s data collec-tion for 2012 will end Dec. 7, according to its website.
Next spring, when the database is ready for use,
CUPA-HR will notify OU and grant the university access to the association’s national data, Jorgenson said. Once the national data is acces-sible, OU officials will de-cide which universities to compare data with and de-cide if they should make any changes to how adjunct fac-ulty members are paid.

ShOw: ‘Twenty Somethings’ to air on OUTV Continued from page 1

could really gain great ex-perience from,” she said. “And ‘Twenty Somethings’ has turned into just that and quite a bit more.”
What began as a simple idea between two students quickly grew to incorporate a writer (Tony Beaulieu, film and media studies junior), an editor (Alison Parham, film and media studies ju-nior) and a small group of friends interested in bring-ing the college-themed show to life.
“I remember the shooting for the pilot being literally the main characters, me, the director [Dickie-Clardy] and a few friends filming outside on campus,” Hightower said. “But now that the word has really spread around about the show, we have upwards of 15 to 20 people working on each episode.”
Student volunteers from the School of Drama, the Student Film Production Club and Gaylord have par-ticipated in the show’s light-ing, filming, acting and set design.
For “Twenty Somethings’” cast and crew, the demands of putting together a high-quality television show from start to finish have been challenging.
“I know for a fact that I’ve spent several weekends de-voted to shooting and felt
like I hadn’t even gotten a weekend by the time the next week got started,” said film and media studies se-nior Cole Bieligk, who plays the role of a freshman just out of the Army.
“Twenty Somethings’” full-season show is the larg-est production Bieligk has been involved.
“It’s for sure been a little crazy, pulling all-nighters to design the set and filming the entire weekend on top of jug-gling other elements being a college student,” Hightower
said. “But at the end of the day, it’s something I’m sure we all can be proud of. We’re learning so much, and every episode is just looking better and better.”
“Twenty Somethings” is scheduled to show on OU TV in its entirety on a weekly basis beginning in the spring semester.
“‘Twenty Somethings’ will be an unrivaled accom-plishment in terms of tele-vision programs from stu-dents,” Bieligk said. “And the fact that it will be managed
under a zero budget with so much manpower and time spent is incredible by any professional standard. I’m really proud to be a part of this project, and the rest of the cast and crew have made it well worth it.”

Transcending Gender course was the one that spoke to me, the one calling me,” he said.
While the course will have some similar elements from the previous courses, the focus has changed. Instead of concentrating primarily on transgender, Bosse said he is going to open the class up to gender in general so students will have a better vocabulary to discuss transgender later on.
“Society sort of can’t han-dle transgender,” he said. “We have a very regulated system of gender as either A or B. If you’re neither, if you’re cross-ing over from one to the other, the world doesn’t know how to handle it.”
Bosse’s course satisfies part of the general educa-tion English composition
curriculum, according to oZONE, but at least one stu-dent was attracted to the course for another reason.
“This class is also interest-ing to me because, although I feel very strongly about the rights of LGBTQ people, I have no experience with and hardly know anything about transgendered individuals and I want to be pushed out of my comfort zone as far as learning new things,” said Ali Baker, a University College freshman enrolled in the class.

asked the radar team ques-tions ranging in topic from the radar’s patent poten-tial to whether companies would need to hire addi-tional staff to read the ra-dar’s reports.
T h e S o c i a l Entrepreneurship team, led by biochemistry and economics junior Evan Fry, next began its presen-
tation on a business plan the team developed in partner-ship with an eye institute in China.
“Working on a social entrepreneurship has been really special because not only are we looking to promote eco-nomic development in the state of Oklahoma, but we’re also looking to enact fundamental quality of life changes in people, and in our case, people half the world away,” Fry said.
Each team member gave a portion of the presenta-tion, introducing a joint-partnership between OU’s Dean McGee Eye Institute and the Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital of Chengdu, China.
The audience again gave the presenters applause in addition to six questions regarding the nature of the so-cial entrepreneurship aspect of the project and the lan-guage and culture barriers between the collaborating institutes.
“Right now in China there is one opthalmologist for every 56,000 people, so there’s a huge backlog of pre-ventable blindness. We provide that surgeon base to ad-dress that disease load,” answered team member Tyler Pearson, second-year law student. “I think that’s the most important part of the true social entrepreneurship spirit of the International Eye Institute.”

This holiday season, you can’t help but see the Salvation
Army and its red kettles all over campus, ringing bells and asking for donations.
Most of the people who drop their spare change into the kettles do so thinking they have done a good deed and helped someone less fortunate by donating to a reputable charity. I challenge that notion and ask in all seriousness that you find another way to help support the less fortunate this winter.
The Salvation Army is not a charity. It is a church, and as churches go, it is about as far out on the fringe as it can be. Basically, if you want help from the Salvation Army, you must submit to being proselytized to. It’s “charity” only goes as far as it is permitted to indoctrinate those they help.
In 1998, rather than comply with a San Francisco city ordinance that would require them to honor the domestic-partnerships of any potential GLBTQ employees (as if they have any), the Salvation Army pulled $3.5 million worth of funding from the area, closing multiple shelters and doing the exact opposite of anything even remotely resembling a “charity.”
The Salvation Army withdrew funding and put vulnerable citizens on the street because they didn’t want to comply with an ordinance that didn’t even really apply to them, as their members are largely members of the church, which is vehemently anti-gay in its teachings and mission statement.
Worse, in 2008, a transwoman named Jennifer Gale died in the cold outside an Austin area Salvation Army shelter, after being denied access because of her gender presenta-tion. This is not a matter of respecting the organization’s opinion; this is a matter of life and death.
And it’s not just the GLBTQ community. Several high-profile complaints have charged the Salvation Army with denying shelter to Muslim families who refused to attend Bible classes and denying services to those who cannot “prove” their citizenship status.
There have been many legal battles over the last 20 years concerning the Salvation Army and its disregard for the
separation of church and state. This is an organization taking government funds while picking and choosing who to help and who is expendable.
Most recently, in New York, the court established the Salvation Army no longer could force the children in its state-funded shelters to pray, force Bibles on children or preach its own particular brand of religious instruction.
Imagine being a Jewish or Muslim woman showing up to a state-funded women’s shelter with your kids and having to sit through a Bible lesson for your food. If a Muslim group did the same, half the country would lose their minds.
What does it mean that the OU greek system is so supportive of this particular church? Every red kettle on campus has a fraternity or sorority house designator proudly taped to the face of it. Am I to understand, then, that the greeks who participate are doing so in affirmation of the views of the Salvation Army? If not, perhaps they need to rethink their charity partners.
But if so, I’m terribly disappointed. On a college campus in 2012, these are the views of a huge and powerful portion of the student population? Surely there are GLBTQ or non-Christian people within the ranks of the greek system, and I would hope that they speak up about this financial support being given — partly on their behalf — to an organization that openly and actively opposes their rights.
And I would hope any Sooner with an ounce of conscience would oppose this callous prejudice that has lead to suffering and death.
There are plenty of local Christian and secular charities that do not behave like the Salvation Army and that desperately need donations. Habitat for Humanity and the Oklahoma Department of Veterans Affairs could both use your help, and you can help them knowing your donation will not pay legal fees from discrimination lawsuits or buy Bibles to force on those who come seeking help.
To all of the greek houses participating with the Salvation Army this year and all Sooners considering donating, I hope you read more about the organization and question if this is really something you want to represent. If it is, I suppose we haven’t come as far as I thought.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Andrew Sartain is founder and president of Earth Rebirth.
Fifteen years ago, the thought of bringing a cause
to international ears within days or weeks seemed far-fetched or too good to be true.
But the birth of the social media age has allowed both individuals and organizations to be heard worldwide.
This expansion of communication has allowed OU students to team up with international partners and organize a campaign to modernize the production methods of a large, international industry.
David Hille, director of Earth Rebirth’s Sustainable Palm Oil Campaign, said, “We chose to utilize social media because it is a powerful tool that allows each individual to take responsibility for whether or not the cause is continued. In the end, it hopefully leads to a greater audience being moved to action.”
The Sustainable Palm Oil Campaign is committed to putting commercial pressure on businesses to use sustainable palm oil in their production processes or providing further clarity on the sources of the palm oil they use now.
A minimum of 25 percent of all products found in the grocery store contain a chemical by-product of palm oil or palm oil itself. Companies often clear vast amounts of land with fire to prepare for palm plantations. Various species of plants and animals are devastated while land is razed. Orangutans trapped in the inferno often die trying to escape, many times being pressured back toward the flames by the culprits.
But this is not a black and white issue; many poorer countries rely on the palm industry and depend on it for the well-being of their people. This makes it a very sensitive subject but does not render it void of its need for clarity and responsibility.
While many palm oil processes cause extensive destruction, others have demonstrated successful efforts in sustainable production.
So pushing for steps in the direction of transparency, environmental retention and reductions in expended energy within this particular industry can demonstrate to other industries the proper way to address wasteful practices.
Earth Rebirth’s campaign will do this in three phases: raising consumer awareness, enhancing consumer pressure and pushing producer accountability.
Phase one of consumer awareness was launched at the beginning of December, and Earth Rebirth already has managed to connect with international partners in England, Costa Rica, Indonesia and Borneo — including the Orangutan Land Trust.
This international interest in better practices is extensive. The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil began in 2004 as a way to bring together members from every group affected by the palm oil industry, including environmental groups, industry members and consumers.
In 2008, the organization began issuing certification for sustainable practices.
“Annual production capacity of Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil-certified sustainable palm oil jumped over the three million tons mark in 2010, showing the steepest increase since certification began,” according to the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil.
A global effort has been made by major non-profits like World Wildlife Fund to push sustainable palm oil certification, and it is working well. But increased pressure is needed on places like India and China, who combined made up 30 percent of the 2010 palm oil market.
As one of the fastest-expanding crops worldwide, palm oil needs to be effectively evaluated and made into a staple for sustainable agriculture and production. It is the perfect example of a global initiative that can benefit from the communicative power of social media.
Although Earth Rebirth is an up and coming organization in Norman, it has managed to accumulate a following of over 375 followers on Facebook spanning to 27 different countries. This is the beauty of social media: In a mere three days, a small environmental-energy group located in Norman, Oklahoma can combine forces with voices in all corners of the world and push a global effort for change.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Tell Congress: Support wind tax creditsIn the aftermath of severe droughts
across Oklahoma, the devastating impacts of extreme weather events are readily apparent.
Global warming is happening, and making storms, heat waves, droughts and floods more frequent and more severe. Now more than ever, Oklahoma needs to move away from dirty fossil fuels and toward clean, renewable energy sources like wind power.
Wind power already is reducing our state’s global warming pollution by as much as taking 600,000 cars off the road per year, according to a new Environment America report, “Wind Power for a Cleaner America.”
If wind development continues at a pace comparable to that of recent years through the year 2016, Oklahoma would reduce global warming pollution by as much as taking an additional 640,000 cars off the road.
W i n d p o w e r a l s o helps cut dangerous air pollution and saves water by displacing energy use from coal and natural gas-fired power plants.
H o w e v e r, k e y t a x credits for wind energy producers are set to expire at the end of the year.
If Congress does not act now to extend these policies, many proposed
wind farms wil l not be built, and we’ll be throwing cleaner air, a more secure future and water savings to the wind.
U.S. Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) should work to renew the wind tax credits — our clean air, water and children’s future depend on it.

In coming months, bonds could be strengthened with a close someone to whom you’re already attracted. Many different kinds of circumstances are likely to draw you two into a tighter and more advantageous alliance.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) --Instead of scattering your forces all over the place, you should give your most meaningful objectives top priority. Taking a lot of potshots won’t improve your marksmanship.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- If through poor judgment you reopen an old wound, there is a strong possibility that you’ll only make the same mistakes you made previously. Live and learn.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- Leave your credit cards at home if you plan to go anyplace where extravagant items are likely to be displayed. You might be inclined to do more than window-wish.
PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- The delicate line between being your own person and being detrimental to a team effort might get crossed if you place undue importance on the former.
ARIES (March 21-April 19) --Rumblings of an increased workload are likely to be coming your way. It behooves you to get cracking immediately. If you don’t, the roar will only get steadier and louder.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- No matter how badly you desire it, it’s
not advisable to try to become all things to all people. You’ll be left feeling inadequate when you fail at your impossible task.
GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Don’t be too hasty when trying to fi nalize a matter of critical importance. It’s much more important to do the best job rather than the fastest.
CANCER (June 21-July 22) --There is a good chance you could still be holding a grudge against someone, so for the sake of inner peace, it behooves you to avoid this person as much as you can.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) --This is likely to be an unusually good day to sort out any disturbing fi nancial affairs. Your budget can be improved upon by trimming needless expenses.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- Although you may feel that you can easily come out ahead in a competitive situation, don’t underestimate your adversaries. They could be stronger than you think.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- It behooves you to keep all of your endeavors as basic as possible. Be careful not to further complicate situations that are already a trifl e trickier than you’d like.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- Under most circumstances, you’re the type of person who is reasonably cautious about taking huge risks, yet today your discipline might be rather low. Try to be extra-careful.

With cool, crisp weather upon us, it’s time to celebrate the holiday season with seasonal drinks. So grab a coat and head to your
nearest local bar or restaurant to cozy up with the per-fect fall beer or cocktail.
O’Connell’s Irish Pub & GrilleIf you’re in the mood for a crisp
hard cider on these warm fall days, O’Connell’s, 769 Asp Ave., is the
place to go. My personal favorite is Woodchuck’s Raspberry Hard Cider — sweet amber ale with a tart raspberry finish. Also available is the amber draft Hornsby’s Hard Cider . These are the perfect go-to drinks if you’re in the mood for something slightly fruity.
O’Connell’s also offers Sierra Nevada’s Tumbler Autumn Brown Ale for $4. With its chocolate and
caramel tones, it is a hint of sweetness in a glass.
Available on tap is Sam Adams Winter Lager for $4.25 a glass or
$10.25 for a pitcher.
McNellie’s The Abner Ale House
McNellie’s , 121 East Main St., of-fers domestic and imported seasonal
beers. Boulevard’s Nutcracker Ale is crafted specially with Christmas character. This deep amber beer has a spicy and sweet molasses finish and only is available through December for
$4.50.Another seasonal domestic beer of-
fered at McNellie’s is Choc Winter Stout. This robust, dark brown ale is only $3 for the bottle.
However, McNellie’s bartender Jake Cross recommended Samuel Smith’s dark amber Winter Welcome Ale that is imported from England. “It’s a more mild
option to our seasonal beers,” Cross said. “Most are porters and stouts, but this one
has a nice nutmeg-sweetness to it.” If beer isn’t your thing, McNellie’s has
a wide variety of strong drinks to take the edge and stress off of finals week.
“We also have a new scotch list and are also trying to bring in a new whiskey each month,” Cross said.
LocalLocated at 2262 W. Main St., Local,
offers an extensive winter and holiday cocktail menu.
The Snowbird cocktail is made with Jamaican rum,
Ceylon cinnamon syrup, bitters and pineapple juice.
“Here at Local, we make the syrups our-
selves,” bar manager Dana Nixon said. “The syr-
ups are made of really lovely seasonal but subtle spices.”
The Jack Rose cocktail is made of sweet Applejack brandy, a house-made grenadine and lemon juice.
“We top off the drink with a star anise gar-nish, or what most people commonly refer to as
having a liquorish flavor,” Nixon said. Both cock-tails are available for $7.
Local now has available a list of hot drinks that offer a classic cozy touch for those bitter winter days. These drinks are made of coffees, amaretto, rums and seasonal spices.
Local offers a range of beers and wines from local producers. Seasonal beers available include the Big Jamoke Porter from Tulsa’s Marshall Brewing Company, the Route 66 American Lager from Mustang Brewing Company and several others.
Winter also means it is time to cheer on the Oklahoma City Thunder. Local now features a Thunder Up cocktail and is a great place to catch the next game. This special cocktail is made of vodka, Domaine De Canton, blue curacao, pineapple juice and sweet and sour mix.
Happy Hour at Local lasts from 4 to 7 p.m., Tuesday through Thursday and during all Thunder games. During this time, the bar offers $2 beers and a $3 “munchie menu.”

The OU men’s basketball team fell to the Arkansas Razorbacks, 81-78, Tuesday in Fayetteville, Ark.
Home away from homeThe Sooners have played
six of their first eight games away from home, and until Tuesday night, they were 4-1. Arkansas defended its home floor with the help of 12,548 fans who came out in force to Bud Walton Arena.
Going offA r k a n s a s r e c e i v e d a
colossal effort from junior forward Marshawn Powell. Powell did it all, scoring a career-high 33 points and shooting 4-for-6 from three-point land. Going into the game, OU’s senior forward R o m e ro O s b y s p o k e t o Powell’s versatility and said the Sooners needed contain him.
“ He p l ay s i n s i d e a n d outside,” Osby said. “When you’re matching up with a guy like that, you just got to make him settle for jumpers and stuff like that. If you let him get down in the post and be real crafty and make moves and get you in foul trouble and stuff, you’ll be in trouble the whole night. So he’s one of them guys that even though he can shoot the jumper, you’d rather have him doing that than killing you down in the paint.”
Paying it forwardThe Sooners’ frontcourt
of junior forward Amath M’Baye and Osby scored 36 of OU’s 78 points. M’Baye scored 14 points, his fourth double-digit outing this season, and Osby scored a season-high 22 points. Both forwards added six reb ounds and a pair of assists each.
Freshman flopOU’s tr io of freshmen
guards — Isaiah Cousins, J e ’ l o n H o r n b e a k a n d Buddy Hield — combined for a measly 13 points (led by Hield, who scored six from a pair of second-half
three-pointers) and were responsible for 10 of the Sooners’ 17 turnovers.
Christmas VacationTuesday night’s contest
will be the Sooners last game until Dec. 15, which marks a matchup between O U a n d Te x a s A & M a t the All-College Classic in Oklahoma City. The two teams last played in the first round of last year’s Big 12 tournament on March 7 in a game the Aggies won, 62-53, ending the Sooners’ season.

At the end of every college football season, the great
coaching shifts begin. This season, there
are more openings than usual, with four jobs in the SEC, and high-profile jobs like Boston College and North Carolina State all up for grabs.
When the dice start to roll, fan bases across the nation hold their breath, knowing that their coaches could be leaving for greener (read higher paying) pastures.
Elite coaches always are brought up for “big” jobs when they become open.
Oklahoma State fans got a taste of that for the first time since current-LSU coach Les Miles was leading the Cowboys.
Over the past few days, OSU coach Mike Gundy was attached to discussions regarding vacancies at both Tennessee and Arkansas — the two biggest openings of the offseason.
Tuesday afternoon, two reporters from the same newspaper reported that Gundy had and hadn’t been hired by Arkansas, within 20 minutes of each other.
In actuality, soon-to-be former-Wisconsin coach Bret Bielema was hired by the Razorbacks after he led the Badgers to three-straight Rose Bowl appearances.
So, what of Gundy?He’s still at Oklahoma State, but if he was in talks with
Arkansas, how do the fans feel?If they don’t care, good for them. If they do, welcome to relevancy on the national scale
Cowboys fans.When you are one of the 15-20 best teams in the
nation — which the cowboys undoubtedly have become — having a sought-after coach is par for the course.
And it’s times like these that the Sooner faithful can be grateful for coach Bob Stoops.
Every year, Stoops is questioned and rumored to be connected to job openings across the nation and even in the NFL — this year it was Tennessee, last year it was Ohio State and two years ago it was Michigan.
And every year Stoops shoots those rumors down.Stoops is one of the five best coaches in the nation —
that’s not up for debate — and the Sooners have him under contract through 2018.
As long as it has that going for it, OU will be doing just fine.
