Actions Speak Louder Than Mark Stoops’ Words

Talk is cheap to Mark Stoops. He would much rather go and do something about it. Friday afternoon we learned that applies to more than what happens in-between the white lines.

Ahead of the Citrus Bowl, James Franklin talked. Mark Stoops waited until they played 60 minutes of football, then he got in the final word. “Don’t anyone question who the real Blue and White is,” he said shortly after accepting the Citrus Bowl trophy.

Mark Stoops has never been and never will be a big talker. Unlike the other big coach on campus, he does not thrive behind a podium in front of a big audience.
