Somebody help me.

The Sports Animal radio shows are so bad I cannot quit listening.

Day before yesterday, Mildren and the guy under the hat had a serious discussion about Paul Thompson playing in the NFL.

This morning, another of the Sooner male cheerleaders came on and said the defense had jelled.

On Switzer's show this week, the old king came on and said the quarterback option game could still work.

Do you think they know they're out of it?

i feel for you picker. the only reason i still watch saturday night live is to see how bad it is every week. it's hard to quit something that gives you so much to make fun of. now for some predictions.

prediction: after the miami-duke game, huricane football players will go to a party thrown by duke's lacrosse team causing the governor to call in the national guard.

prediction: because talk of notre dame has come down to a tolerable level, the irish will blow out mediocre ucla allowing goobers across the land to hype them as a reemerging national title contender.

prediction: hawaii 89 new mexico st. 57

prediction: after nebraska scores on its first drive throwing the ball all over texas, callahan will call 53 straight run plays to try and run out the clock.

prediction: adrian peterson will heroically return to rush for a houston bowl record 263 yds eliciting tears of joy to run down toby keith's face, and inspiring him to write his next hit song entitled "peterson's pride."

mr, picker, i agree with your comments but i had the resolve to stop tuning in. plank is more my speed.

why not invite these heathens to your party and i will spill beer all over them while the rest of your blog fans parade tu signs around the hall. at least for two or three days they would have something in tulsa to chat about.

what in the he!! is up with all the missed extra points? the pokes can't tie it up in ot because another kicker chokes in the clutch.

the trick to listening to the animal, oh mighty picker, is having the volume control on the steering wheel. i can turn it down without taking my hands off the steering wheel when necessary, which is usually needed more often for idiot callers than the stupid comments sometimes made by the sports experts. i agree that the mentioning of pt playing in the nfl is comical, as much as i admire how well he's played this season.

after watching ou-cu, i was somewhat pleased to see the sooner d dominating a one-dimensional buffalo offense. observation: if the dropped passes and false starts continue, ou will finish no better than 7-4. patrick played well against a defense that hadn't surrendered a 100 yard rusher in 20 games, but he appeared gassed at the end of a 30-something carry effort. the true fresh rb brown looked good. prediction: vegas will open the ou-mu line at missouri -2.5. i'll take the tigers.

nebbish gift-wrapped a longhorn victory by fumbling during the clock-expiring final possession, and smack brown was smart enough to bring in a new kicker after watching the regular shank two earlier in the game.

tulsa continues to impress with a good road victory. if a big time program out there is looking for a new coach, they better get this guy after this season.

it's true. the animal is like a car wreck, or an ugly person at the fair. you just can't turn away.

Jeez, picker, why do you listen to this drivel? I live in St Louis and, as far as I know, I can't pick it up on the airwaves up here. Good thing. Like most people, I enjoy settling in with a really bad movie (e.g. Plan 9 or anything Adam Sandler has ever done) but this is for the sake of the groan. You seem to listen to the Sports Animal to raise your systolic.
