back to talking about Stoops
TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- There is gutsy, and there is Bob Stoops gutsy. Gutsy is that first leap off the high dive, or stepping forward to take the blame, or playing a $20 nassau with $10 in the wallet.
There is gutsy, and there is Bob Stoops gutsy. It is finding that line that divides courage and stupidity, and putting your toenails right on it. It is driving the lane on Ben Wallace, digging in against Pedro Martinez, taking the first swing at Mike Tyson.
Bob Stoops gutsy is calling a fake punt on your 31-yard line. On the road. With the momentum rolling downhill away from you. Stoops must have stolen away during the spring and had his nerves removed. Or maybe it's just that Bob Stoops gutsy is the reason that Stoops is the best college football coach on the planet.
