Like player, like coach.
Oklahoma LB Eric Striker has echoed his head coach Bob Stoops’ sentiments about the SEC (in as many words), telling the Tulsa World “I don’t know why people blow gas up their ass all the time. I don’t understand why, you know what I mean?”
Regarding the Sooners’ game against Tennessee this weekend Striker said he hopes “SEC players don’t let it go their heads. Because this is how you get beat. I look forward to it. Gas ‘em up. Bring ‘em back down to earth.”
Strange gas references aside, the point Striker is trying to get across is pretty clear.
