How about Mack Brown to serve as Bob Stoops' caddy? L.M. OTERO/AP file


Credit here goes to Eddie Radosevich, resident party animal over at SoonerScoop.com. He's the one who realized yesterday that Bob Stoops needed a caddy at the Pebble Beach pro-am this week. His suggestion is everybody's suggestion, I imagine -- Carl Spackler from "Caddyshack."

Problem is, Carl (aka Bill Murray) is playing in the tournament (at least, I think he is... he typically does). That sorta makes him unavailable. So I've come up with a dozen alternatives.

Take a look:

Mike Stoops. The two of them would be arguing over club selection by the 1st fairway. Which would be even more hilarious to me than when they argue on the sideline. (That used to happen the first time Mike coached with his brother. I can only hope it'll happen again this fall.)

Sam Bradford or Nate Hybl, golf-playing fools when they weren't quarterbacking the Sooners.

Otto, the homeless guy tapped by Happy Gilmore to lug for him. Another Otto I'd like to see caddy for Stoops -- the bus driver on "The Simpsons."

Mack Brown.

Robby Stoops, the helium-voiced lost Stoops brother/OU equipment room manager dreamed up by WWLS' Morning Animals. I don't care that he's not real, he's an absolute riot. A weekend on Bob's bag ? Yes, please!

Mike Lupica.

The D'Annunzios. If Stoops can't get Carl, he should tap one of the obnoxious brothers not above yelling "Noonan!" at a guy trying to make a putt to win a tournament at Bushwood.

Kramer.

Bob Knight. I can't link to the video because it would probably get me fired. I can encourage you to Google up the following: Bobby Knight golf outtakes. Believe me, this has nothing to do with swapping coaching philosophies.

Les Miles.

Johnny Knoxville. And he gets to use his air horn.

Pistol Pete.
