Wegher bombs

[FalseMirage]

It's all good. We got our one game wonder at RB and thats all that matters.

You'll think one game wonder after he tears thru the clown secondary.

RB Brandon Wegher no longer with team | OU Sports

Stoop's comment is great.

Tweet from @Jake_Trotter, Sooner beat writer for The Oklahoman: "RB Brandon Wegher (transfer from Iowa) no longer with the Sooners, Bob Stoops said today."

Stoops: "That didn't last very long."

He's probably burned out, and just can't face that reality. Too bad for him, he won't recognize what he lost until it's too late to get it back - which I think has already happened to a large extent. Another example of Shaw's great quotation, "Youth is wasted on the young."

I do like Stoops' comment though.

“We’ve got a few backs as it is,” Stoops said, “so we’ll be OK.”
That's life in the Big City, err, well, City.

Ha. you should have read the sooner boards when he signed there.

And the hype over in your camp is revolving around Steele Jantz? The guy who has not played a single snap of D1 football? I'd say that Clowns like you have no room to talk about hyping up an unknown.

Never even heard of the guy.

Maybe Wegher ran into this:

I hope he learns to let the big head do the thinking.

With Brandon there might be a question of which one that is.

Played as a freshman due to having absolutely no one else but A-Rob at RB. Wasn't going to play as a Sophomore. Thought he should be playing as a Sophomore so he quits. Transfers to Oklahoma and finally realizes he's not going to play there either.

Case closed.

Wegher made his bed and was crushed by it, so no sympathies from me there. Have the Sooners even had a practice since he joined the team? That's gotta be one mixed up kid.

Even if BW wasn't the starter at Iowa in '10, it's not like he was going to waste away on the bench. He was talented enough to get some carries, return some punts, line up in the slot, etc. And since the backup is always one big hit away from being the starter, I highly doubt he got out of town for strictly playing time reasons.

Your hatred of Wegher is pretty baffling to me. For a true freshman I thought he did a pretty decent job in '09. ARob had quicker feet and was better in traffic and MAYBE had a toughness edge, but Wegher had more top end speed, was better in the open field, better at the goal line, and better catching the ball out of the backfield.

There was still plenty of room for both on the team - until Marcus Coker was ready to play, anyway.

If he went to ISU, he'd have to play defense...because he wouldn't crack the two deep at RB. That said, I think he might make a pretty solid Strong Safety...so bring him on.

You will.

He was a decent player who appeared to have a huge upside. We really could have used him last season. I won't go so far as to suggest that if he had played A-Rob might have avoided the concussions, but ... it sure would have helped to have a strong second back.

We've got Coker now, plus a lot of young talent. But I think Brandon could have been a huge contributor had he stayed.
