AP: Oklahoma boosters say negativity about Stoops has picked up
BY CLIFF BRUNT The Associated Press
NORMAN, OKLA. – Two prominent Oklahoma boosters who support Sooners coach Bob Stoops say the team’s early struggles have made some other boosters restless.
Jim Ross, a boxing announcer for CBS Sports best known for his work in professional wrestling, and Wallis Marsh, founder and CEO of the Extex Companies in Houston, say they have gotten many calls about this the past few weeks.
Losses to Houston and Ohio State already have knocked the Sooners out of the national championship picture. Oklahoma plays No. 21 TCU on Saturday at Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth and No. 22 Texas at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas the following week – both possible defeats.
