Yesterday afternoon, Oklahoma sporting legend Robert Anthony Stoops, a full name that I terrifyingly know and remember by heart, announced he's stepping down as the head coach of the University of Oklahoma football team for no other reason than he wanted to.
Even though OU has a memorial statue of Bob ready and on standby, the story apparently took everyone by surprise. News spread like wildfire gobbling up red cedars on the horizon, with family members, friends, and foes alike all sharing the OMGs and WTFs via text messages, snapchats and emails. Hell, it was such a big deal that I even called my 89 year-old grandfather to tell him about it. His hearing aid wasn't working properly, and he mistook my question "Guess who resigned?" for "Guess who died?" Getting old must suck.
