OU will lose 3-4 games because of no experience in the o-line & their OC will self-destruct HIS offense....OSU will trip over their own feet by looking ahead & losing focus, 2-3 losses....

It's gonna be a fun & glorious season watching the agony of the fans....

Tulsa will clean the slate of course and beat Auburn in the Independence Bowl....or whatever bowl their conference champion goes to....

2-3, 3-4 same difference, they will lose focus on the prize after the first upset loss they encounter, probably the first game....

I don't own a dog, I can't stand em', I've never beat my wife, I respect women....

OU fans I can put up with because I can cheer with them, OSU fans are no different then TU fans because they haven't won anything major, just like TU, but yet they want to be elitist....

If the OSU coaches can keep their team focused they could achieve more than they ever have, you have to get mean, you have to be unforgiving, you have to reach for the stars and not settle for excuses....Can OSU do this ???? OU can and has in the past, can they do it again ???? Not this year....

Tulsa, aw shucks, we're just Tulsa, pay us no mind as we walk up & knock you in the mouth....

It's official, a close look at the schedule confirms that this is in fact the greatest opening weekend in college football history.

Besides what is listed above, including our LOCK, the weekend starts Thursday and extends through Monday night and also includes these two games: Alabama versus Virginia Tech and Miami versus Florida State.

Beautiful.

Arby's with cheese: They're out rounding up a prize list as we speak.

They're launching a new monster web site the first week of August, so it won't be long after that.

There will be a bunch of new contest features, like a running update of where everybody stands.

OSU fans are different than TU fans. We root for TU despite some of their know-it-all fans. Go ahead and leach onto OU, Tulsandn, you're one of many sheep.

Pick, because Gundy is drawing up plays (not scripted, but adjusting to the defense he is encountering) that means he has no idea what is going on in front of him? I highly doubt that. Besides, for every one time the camera showed him drawing up plays, how many times was he on the sideline watching the D perform? I'm guessing many more.

Way to chicken out on your OSU lock over Georgia by the way. When OSU wins, I hope I don't read a blog on how you "predicted it."

Tattoo, easy on the thinly veiled OSU slams. There's a bit of Bedlam peace right now....at least on this blog.

I concur with Pickers comments on what makes a successful Season for OU, OSU & TU. For the Sooners and Pokes to loose 2 games and win their bowl would be huge. As would be the case for TU to loose 3 games and win their bowl. The season is long, injuries can occur, not to meantion parity amongst the conference play. Picker - I believe you got this one correct. Now, give us the winners for H.S. classes A to 6A.

Hatter: Funny you should mention Mr. Barry coming back for his 100th year as OU's play-by-play man.

Somebody said the state legislature would introduce a bill banning a person from operating heavy machinery while listening to BB call a Sooner play, as the confusion could result in erratic motoring.

We're working on a new Bob Barry impression for the first installment of the Picks. It has to do with a halfback shooting a free throw.

Arby's with cheese: The first contest entries will be taken Aug. 31, with the season beginning the following Thursday.

You finally caught me Arby & Fries. Before making my picks, I go over the thousands of entries and then pick around the all-star contestants.

The truth is, I could let you pick at halftime and still emerge victorious.

Tattoo, my mistake. I misunderstood.

Tulsandn, we don't need your bones thrown our way...they're a bit weak and have hardly any meat on them anyway. You'll find out which weight class we are in on Sept. 5th. And if you are inquiring about the last upset victory OSU had, it was last year when the Cowboys beat the #3 team on their own field.

Picker, looking forward to a Bob Barry impression, but how do you top his own stuff? i.e., "He's only 4 for 6 on his last 8 attempts", or my favorite - "doesn't quite get back to the line of scrimmage but appears to have the first down".
