Has Bob officially declined sharing the title?

[ednksu]

Haven't heard any gracious rejection of a shared title yet.

I think he is going to succumb to the big 12's rules and share the championship, but only because he has to.

Norman, OK, is the home of shifting standards.

Yeah they are silently accepting the trophy only because of the rules....which also require you to pose on an opponent's field:

Best conference champion that didn't qualify for the BCS.

every one of their arms is being twisted by a conference official...those aren't smiles, just grimaces of pain.

This wouldn't be the first time the Dirt Burglars ignored head to head results (2008)

What kind of weird jazz hands are they throwing up??

[wes mantooth]

It's their 8th* conference title.

Ubben missed an opportunity to include Stoops quote from last year

[sonofdaxjones]

Reports are that it was forced march back out of the dressing room at gun point, guards trained in North Korea were brought in to ensure "happiness". 

[kso_FAN]

I have no issue with claiming shared titles, its gone on in these cases for years. The issue is Stoops changing his opinion from last year to this year. But really even that isn't a huge deal because coaches say stuff like this and change it later on all the time.

Rumblings that when Bob was asked for an interview to discuss the start difference between his quote last year an the hypocrisy this year, he was too busy laughing and counting bonus money to hear the request for the interview.

[Saulbadguy]

I think if OU lost in Manhattan rather than Norman, their co-championship would have a little more validity.

[Emo EMAW]

Agreed:

Win the head to head on the road:  sole champions
Win the head to head at home:  shared == Lose the head to head on the road

This, Bob does not want the Co-Championship for his players, Bob wants it so he can use the bonus money to put in a pool and not just get a Jelly of the month subscription from OUAD
