Bob Stoops refuses to get off the chopper, does teleconference from a helicopter on the way to New York City

If you were listening to Bob Stoops on the Sugar Bowl coaches teleconference Sunday evening, you might have heard some interference.

Pay that no mind -- it was just the Oklahoma coach traveling to New York City via helicopter for the College Football Hall of Fame banquet.

"I apologize about the noise. I'm in a helicopter landing in New York City," Stoops said, casually.

While verbalizing his respect for Auburn, the Sooners' Sugar Bowl opponent, Stoops explained why he was doing the teleconference from a helicopter.

"I got good buddies, you know? I'm flying to the College Football Hall of Fame banquet and landed and had a buddy that had a helicopter," Stoops said.
