Bob Stoops is the only person I know of, other than Ben Folds, whose name is also a complete sentence.

Shirley Knott posts on this very forum.

And anyway, I'm not an English grammar expert but I bet "Surely not" is not a sentence and instead is a phrase or something. Bob Stoops and Ben Folds each have a noun and verb.

How about the use of words to express mild humor ? .....my guess is that most 'grammar experts' don't demand perfection and can actually enjoy word play.

Ilene Dover is a complete sentence, so is her brother Ben. By retiring suddenly and without warning tells me something is wrong, likely a serious health issue. If there was wrongdoing his OC would not be taking over. If nothing was really wrong he would have waited until after the season.

Darn. I wanted to beat him at Oklahoma.

Who knows why? Could be a Dick Vermiel type situation where after so long, you just bet burned out. It's not like any P5 D1 coach with more than a few seasons needs more $$$$$$$ to retire.

Something tells me he will be at Tennessee, Auburn, A&M, Notre Dame, or school ABC University within a year. I just saw where he is only 56.

I say it has to do with someone's health. Something that is really bad and was just discovered.
His statement says it's not his health as a reason, but could be a family member. But after watching his presser, a very unemotional one, I'd have to say Boren/Boosters finally had enough of "Big Game Bob".

Very big development for the Big12. Best case senerio is that new guy keeps Oklahoma where they are competitively. Worst case is kid can't handle head job and Oklahoma drops a level. The conference hope will then fall on Herman bringing UT all the way back. This football conference is wobbling. Hoops is fine but football is iffy.

Just give me a title before it collapses.
