Stoops takes photo with mother, wife after win

Bob Stoops posed with his wife and mother after winning at Notre Dame Saturday.

But don't worry, he isn't getting soft.

Stoops said he wanted the picture because Saturday's 35-21 victory might be the only one she's at all year.

"That's something for the rocking chair. I don't go back and look at anything," Stoops said. "The only reason I did it, my mother is not at many games. I would have taken it no matter where it was. She's getting older and not able to get a lot of games it was a great opportunity. I wanted to make sure I had one and send her one."

Stoops was adamant all last week saying the Notre Dame game was just another matchup on the schedule, despite the fact it was a game between two traditional powers, but it is curious Stoops would stop

So, when Stoops is taking pictures on the field after the game, it does seem a bit curious. He's not walking off the field in Norman and posing and it's tough to recall if he's ever done it after a win in Dallas, either.
