I love this guy, he sounds like a broken record, Media/local sports talk radio are homers, OU is overated, "I am the greatest sports analyst in the world and no one can pickem like me!" Picker, 2 out of 3 above are absolutely true until OU pulls their crap together and wins a BCS game, can't be number one without proving it. That shouldn't take away from the fact that OU is a dominant program and is deservedly in the top 10 every year.

As for the homers, well they want job security like the rest of us, I expect it to get worse given the current state of the economy.

Sam Bradford is a good college quarterback, this year he will have the chance to prove he is a great college quarterback. The only two games he was pressured in the pocket this last season, he lost. Not all his fault, but this year he will not have the dominant o-line that he did last year and he will have the chance to prove that his skill set has moved beyond sitting back, throwing strikes witha big arm to recievers who have all day to use their 4.4 speed to get open. Highschool quarterbacks can do that.

I am keeping score this year picker! And of course, go Pokes and may all the Cowboys out their pray that our defense shows up this year, any defense at all will do!

Let me get this straight, wasn't it the Picker who said after we all knew who would be in the Final Four that UNC would not win it, and looked at a Michigan State-Villanova National Championship game? Now, the 'greatest prognosticator who ever lived' is crowing about his early season pick winning it all. All this jumping on and off picks is gonna give someone flat feet.

Euros are NOT from Argentina. Who wouldn't take 1 to 144 chance (the field over Eldrick). Who gets those kind of odds? Jack Kevorkian maybe? Ya think his odds were good about completing his mission?

Mr. Picker, you absolutely make your living on stirring the wasp's nest about OU and the 'homer media'. How do you consider yourself any different than them?

"The need to have OU thought of as perfect by a wide range of homers makes for an interesting psychological study -- and extension of living through your children, so to speak. Associate with percieved greatness, maybe some will rub off."

BTWannabe, we'll find out just how good Bradford is, with that offensive line. To complete his pro audition, he'll play more under center, which could be dangerous, as it is much closer to the defensive line. Guaranteeing your Cowboys, how's that for a nice summer present. If your off-beat coach doesn't ruin the quarterback with too many options.

NewMexiMike, here's something you can steal and impress your friend with: The Lakers aren't winning it all.

Hey Vern, thanks for thinking of us before the meds wear off.

Hey Picker you are right! I guess the truth just hurts for some people!!!!

Mgsooner, I'm glad to see you making such a intelligent prediction against OSU. And if you have to stay in state with your record just to make yourself feel better about Bobby's record, I totally understand. But maybe you should wait the season out before talking about hanging 80 on anybody...or maybe you can jump over to the Texas board and try to talk smack...or to a BCS board?

Wow Keyboard, don't take it so personally. I guess I hit a nerve.

Mgsooner, last I checked, you yourself didn't win ANY conference championships. But keep living your life through OU football...it's what Sooner fans do best.

Keyboard you do paint a colourful portrait, I will give you that. You've got a couple of things wrong, however. Today I actually donned my Wal-Mart purchased OU jersey and have a Zima in hand.

Again....YOU are correct Vern. That would be BUD!!

Madhatter, I love Bob Barry but I share your sentiments. Unfortunately it appears that he is welcome to the gig as long as he would like to keep it. When he does decide to retire, I hope we go after someone like Craig Way, who does a phenomenal job on the Texas football broadcasts.

Let me be a bit more specific, I'm not saying we should try to hire the actual Craig Way, just someone like him.
