On the local sports talking show, one of the guys couldn't believe that Bob Stoops retires before Bill Snyder.  He said, "Bob Stoops retires so he doesn't die on the football field.  Bill Snyder doesn't retire so he can die on the football field."  the old silver fox just keeps on a going.    

Yes and it's also better to go out on top on your own terms than to struggle and get fired or forced to retire. There's nothing but Love for him right now with all Sooner fans. So he will always be remembered positively.

We aren't under investigation for anything as far as I know, but if we are then time will tell.
