I think he was phoning in his bets...

World Picker:
Under the current Bowl Cheating System Texas may get robbed, but USC is way overrated. It would be behind OSU in the Big 12 South.

You need to quit drinking the big west coast market kool-aid now that you are off the SEC cola.
Have you ever been west of Elk City?

Come on Picker...i usually agree with you but ther eis noway that Texas will deserve to go over OU if OU wins out. Especially if OU wins big at Tech. I mean if that is your thinking then there is noway that Tech should fall below Texas if OU beats them. I mean Tech beat Texas right? Dropped int? They were blowing Texas out the whole game. If that is your thinking then OU was one kick off return from blowing that game wide open. what are your thughts on florida being ahead of both texas and ou. Lose to ol miss at home??? Does the LSU win or the Georgia win look impressive now? LSU has Les Miles players in there and look at them go! 3 losses already! Either way...OU wins out and they go...despite the best efforts of ESPN! Its up to the computers baby! One last thing....if OU beats tech soundly....then you just dont move OU up? Texas will be on a bye week. Beat the #2 team and you dont move? Thats a joke!!

Licker,
No, you don't run offensive plays based on what your defense did. What does that mean? You might remember that Gundy took over the offensive coordinator gig? That's what he's doing. Not that I care.
A month or two back you were saying that USC shouldn't get pushed up so high due to how bad the PAC-10 is, and now they're getting ripped off? What if Alabama has one loss to Florida, are they getting ripped off when they don't make the BCS Championship?
I only came on to rag you about another lame comment you made a while back. You might recall when Oregon State beat USC I said, 'Watch Oregon State rip off some wins and make a bowl.' To which you replied, 'Oregon State couldn't rip off a postage stamp.' Well look who's bowl eligible and in the driver's seat to win the PAC-10 and make the Rose Bowl! Take one guess, chump.

What if...
OU wins out.
Florida or Alabama lose before the SEC championship and then the one that lost beats the other in the championship game.
OU vs. Texas for the BCS championship.
It COULD happen even though Texas would not play in the Big 12 Championship game. OU fans would love it, but it should not happen. The BCS must be trashed in favor of a playoff!

A few weeks ago I stated on one of the Picker's blogs that OSU would beat OU by three touchdowns...I respectfully rescind that prediction. OSU SUCKED this last Saturday and if they can't get it together they'll be lucky to beat Colorado this weekend!

It sure was fun getting people going on that blog though.

I'll take my ball and go home now and will get out the wet noodles while I'm at it.

New prediction? I'll wait and see, right now I'm thinking OSU by 1.

NIT Picker,

First of all you're a moron. Secondly there is no way OSU is as good or better than OU. They have one receiver that they primarily throw to that racks up his stats against weak teams and one TE. Their QB is average and again racks up his stats against weak teams. Really nice passing game there. Their RB is good and has good stats since the holes he runs through are about 10 yards wide and they have a good running scheme. Their defense is weak and has always been weak but again did well against weak teams so everyone thought they were improved. I'm not saying OU will win, even though they are better, due to the fact that anything can happen during a Rivalry game on the weaker team's homefield.

Dawn, I'm still not sure that you're gonna be wrong on your original prediction, so don't be too swift to change your mind. If Tech beats OU in Norman, and that's not a big if, how will the Sooners muster much desire to go to Stillwater and play with the Pokes? What's to play for? 3rd in the Big 12 South? We've seen Stoops Troops lay down (Fiesta Bowl vs. Boise State, Fiesta Bowl vs. West Virginia) when they've had exactly ZERO to gain by winning their bowl game.

We also live in the state where "that coach" didn't know one of his predecessors (Jimmy Johnson) was "still around." I realize he's probably doing other kinds of football things on Sunday, but come on. This is the same coach who calls Texas Tech a "pretty good" football team after getting walloped by them. Is that some kind of understatement?

Rhett,

Sorry, but no team has played three top-3 teams on the road. OSU doesn't have as good of an offense as I would like, but they had to deal with some tough teams this season in hostile territory.

You can break it down however you want, but UT, Tech and OU have been able to pad stats at HOME for the most part this season. OSU had to play cupcakes at home due to scheduling, so of course they are going to pad stats. Don't OU and Tech do the same thing? OU hasn't even played two of the better teams in the South yet, and you still assume they are better. How about you wait until after they play Tech (at home, of course) and then a road game (for once) against OSU.

And do you really think OU has a good defense? Or does the offense just score so much it doesn't matter?

OSU is a good team, and they will play even better at home when OU comes to town.

I would love to see OU play UT, Tech and Mizzou on the road.

Mark it down: Tech won't even look like the same team on the road.

You practice against the spread, you pay the price on D.

World Picker:
I owe you no money, punk. You continue to live in a dream world.

Why would I want to bet you now since you are broke and couldn't pay anyway, chump?

I don't need a job. I have plenty of $$. I love to fish, travel, play golf, and bait childish bloggers like you. It is lots of fun.

Re: "the two best defenses in the country don't run the spread."
Granted, but isn't the real issue: have they played any good spread offenses in compiling their defensive stats???

Didn't Teck have a tough time with Nebraska this year-in Lubbock?

Chris: you are correct about the home game advantage this year for OU-even though Dallas is still in Texas...technically anyway.
The last two times OU played Teck in Lubbock they lost.
OSU at home is extremely tough on OU, and will be even more difficult this year.

Also, the Big12 Championship game was in San Antonio, last year ( a home field for OU)and OU beat Mizzou. The 2003 NC game was in New Orleans, LA (home game for LSU) and LSU beat OU and OU was killed in KC (home field for KSU) that year by KSU.

On the other end of that stick: Fiasco Bowl I was a homer for Boise State, while Fiasco Bowl II was certainly not a homer for WV--yet both won.

Nit Picker,

I have never seen you somewhat agree with me. This is quite an accomplishment for us both.

I will celebrate with you.

One small thing: while OU/TEXAS is played in Dallas, it actually is a shorter drive from Norman to get to Dallas. I don't think anyone thinks UT has the home field advantage in that matchup, and I am assuming you don't either.

Just wanted to point that out.
