Can you believe:

That it is legal for Cloris Leachman, who is two years older than the fox trot, to dance on "Dancing With the Stars?"

That Texas Tech's Leach doesn't have a real job?

That Tennessee's Fulmer has any job?

That Arkansas joined the SEC?

That Arkansas stays in the SEC?

That the local Sports Animal radio outlet runs a Thursday morning show about the World famous Picker and doesn't so much as buy us a green bean cheeseburger at Brothers Houligan?

That local sports talk radio authority Pat Jones knows it all?

Read the rest of the Picker's column.

I'm taking Wake tonight and laying the point and a half. Whadda think?
World Picker (4 years ago)
I love the Wake quarterback.

Why not, it's not the week for orange.

I believe:

The SEC is more overrated than the bailout.

PSU is underrated.

World Picker is wrong way more than he is right.

The OU/Texas game will actually be decided on the field.

The past only matters if you learn from it.

Hey Picker,
I am in town for awhile and saw this line in another section and thought of you,

"Anonymous campaigning is insignificant. Who particularly cares where a stranger's vote is to go?"

Back to Iraq next week but will be watching the blog,
Thanks

Hey Picker fan...good luck and be careful.
World Picker (4 years ago)
WSmith, were' undefeated, what's the next pick, TU minus?
WSmith (4 years ago)
Yeah, TU looks awfully good. I've got it at minus 24. I also love Iowa State getting 5 points in Waco.

It would be wonderful if ESPN Game Day could broadcast from Indian Bowl in Muskogee when OSU plays Bacone JC.
OSUNDN (4 years ago)
Maybe it will be OU playing Bacone JC in the Indian Bowl.

Maybe not. Although it might be a bowl game they can finally win and quit embarrsing the state of Oklahoma on national TV.

It's not the week for orange eh, Pick? Texas shocks OU and then my OSU boys claim voctory at Mizzou!

What did you have Mizzou winning by again? 24???

Take the week off; you need to recooperate.
MIKE (4 years ago)
Sorry, I meant "victory." GO POKES!!!!!
Smokin Joe (4 years ago)
I'm an OSU alum and first off, Go Pokes! i admit I had my doubts because of countless teams before with great potential didn't live up to it.

As far as OU, why all the bashing? Yeah they were overated in the polls:
weak special teams
weak "D"
but they are still a good team. hopefully they will learn from the loss and win a bowl game.

At least OSU always has.

Have you ever noticed the picker never,ever, ever has anything informative to add to the upcoming games? He tries to be funny and then takes the Vegas odds adds/subtracts a point and makes a prediction. "Romo winks at Jessica and blows her a kiss at half" Dallas by 4 (or see vegas line plus one)

Arkansas doesn't belong in the SEC. Isn't that getting old? Well two years ago it was and this year it is. It wasn't last year because we won the division we don't belong in.. I guess Auburn needs to go as well? Might as well take Vandy and Kentucky while your at it..

Please, have an editor help you write something.. anything.. that enlightens the paid subscribers... It makes the Tulsa World look like a joke paper and an embarassment...
World Picker (4 years ago)
CDay, go read the pre-game analysis of the Texas game.

You probably wanted Nutt fired, right?

Out Pick The Picker

The Picker began entertaining – and infuriating – sports fans in 1993. Each week during football season, he writes about his picks of college and NFL games in his Thursday Sports column. He's never afraid of sharing his opinions about the game and the personalities who play it. Readers have a chance to go against him each season in the Outpick the Picker contest. He welcomes the competition.
