Picker, I don't know why people like to goad you on...well I do, and its because you're not a homer clad in orange or crimson, and you tell it like you see it whether it is going to draw the ire of Gooners and Stoolwaterians alike. Of course I agree on all your observations. OSU's glass slipper is about to shatter...OU is not as good as people think and especially if the other team puts a quick double on Blake Griffin (who is an outstanding player). What we are finding out is OU's guards are spotty at best and what will keep them from advancing to the Final Four ( I have them losing to Syracuse because of guard play). I also agree with you that TU needs to just keep winning against the big teams in so-called power conferences just so they can learn to play without getting that wild-eyed deer in headlights look. So, when does football season start? TU will finish the year 11-2, C-USA Champs and play someone in the Liberty Bowl (losses to OU, So. Miss on the road).

BLA: This is the Homer Center of the Universe.

It's sappier than Lake Wobegon, where all the kids are smart, all the men are handsome, and all the women are pretty.

Here, all the coaches are geniuses, all the players are all-stars, anything connected with OU is great, and all the media members are chums with the ones they cover.

The National Homer Hall of Fame should be here.

The Picker cannot post his bracket until he gets a look at mine so he can copy it.

Until then, he will dangle the carrot of his greatness.

Did you seriously just compare Jeff Capel to Buzz Peterson? That may be your most idiotic comment yet.

Picker...objective journalism does not reside in our beautiful state. Selective criticism does however raise it's ugly head on a regular basis. For some reason our 'yellow dog' journalists feel it's their duty to be biased, to help spew and spread what other areas won't say about our beloved teams. This is where the inflated heads and chest thumping rule over anything remotely close to accuracy, or heaven forbid...the truth.
