When I saw this, the first person that popped into my mind was Red, from That 70's Show

Good ol' Kurtwood Smith. There was never any lack of dumbass behavior going on in the 70's show, so he got to say that a lot.  I would love to have a cardboard fan on a stick that had "Red's" face on it.  And boldly printed along the bottom would be DUMBASS!  I would carry it in my car and hold it up when the occasion called for it.......which unfortunately would be a lot.

Maybe I could get some fans like that printed with the original Scrappy on it (mainly featuring his face) and the same message across the bottom. Instead of booing bad/poor play the fans could just hold up their Scrappy Fans.

I was in Talons in the early 90s.  We were told the student body decided in the late 70s to change the name because it was too "warlike."  The costume wasn't great in the 80s and 90s, but there was NO support or budget from the athletic department during that era.

I was in that costume more than once, it was hot and smelly.  I imagine that the new one gets cleaned more often, now that there's money  🙂

I think it was the early 80s (some time between 81 and 85).  I recall the name change and the story about Scrappy being too aggressive/warlike.  Eppy won a student vote or something, but I don't ever remember getting the opportunity to vote on it.  Just remember how silly it was when the new name was introduced and the reason for it.

The name "Eppy" was selected by the spirit group Talons. It has some secret mystical meaning to their organization.

Huh.  I just thought it meant "androgynous hippy male who is attracted to other hippy males."

Figuring that she was a cheerleader and looking at the Cheerleaders for that time, could this be our mystery lady? image.png.146863206463d51cb07c78b8d14114a7.png

Impressive detective work.

Bored at home on a Friday night 🤣

I took it a step further. Seems she got married and ended up as a VP for a sports trading card company which was pretty cool to see. (If my search was accurate)

As a student for most of the 80s, it was (is) really confusing when I returned to games after graduating that they were calling "Eppy" by a new name "Scrappy".

Funny way to spell “creepy”

Haha nah. It’s one thing if he put up her address and phone number or tried to contact her but he came at it from an “I wonder” angle. I can understand that. I’ve done that with people from the past too.

      G5 Rep up to #4 in latest CFP

      Honestly, there’s a 0.000000001% chance 2 G5s get in. They will plug any of several SEC teams before they let 2 G5s in.

      I don’t think Mack Brown’s the answer here either, but let’s not pretend McCarney is anywhere near Brown in terms of head coaching success. Brown would be a huge upgrade.

      The Band

      Our oldest is in the Oklahoma State band. They seem to focus on the entertainment more than anything else. The last halftime show had them playing “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC. Their pregame is just the fight song, Oklahoma, and a stand tune. Then they wait around while special guests lead the in game chants. In game playing is fun. They play iron man, dies irae, stuff like that. They play off the DJ better than we do. There’s usually no playing over eachother, though it does happen. The quality is fine. They have a new director. Last years quality was lacking.

      MAC BROWN

      Kicking has been bad, punting is average at best, and we allowed the onside kick against UTSA. Those are my main complaints. There's only about 25 teams (quick count) that have allowed a kickoff return for a TD and we're one of them. Special teams certainly wasn't a weapon this year which to me means it has the potential to be a problem. Regarding Morris being aggressive because the defense is bad, I just disagree. I'll refer to the Navy game last year going for it on 4th and goal on the first drive. It was game 5 of his tenure. He did it again on the first drive against Memphis last year. Two games we lost by 3 where he passed up the field goal attempt on the first drive of the game all within his first 7 games. If he didn't trust the defense that much 7 games in to his coaching career here but yet kept Caponi for year 2, that's a fireable offense on his own. Now to EM acting as an OC and not HC, this is his 6th year as a division 1 head coach. Are we really making this excuse for him? Honestly all of this makes me wish he'd get an OC job somewhere and leave.
