All true. But you have to admit that from the get-go the Sooners were walking around like they were on their way to a Boren dialogue on bipartisanship.

Which brings us to recruiting season. OU and OSU and Texas will sign at least 5 players that each run a 3.9 second 40 or some such crap.
OU had more speed than Tex or OSU and still watched Tech and WV players fly by them!?
Coaches, put down the watches and pick up a tackling sled!

yea, yea...Oklahoma is actually slow and secretly weak. That explains the bowl, but it doesn’t explain the three wins over top 10 opponents. It’s easy to identify why they stink. But, seriously, why are they the world’s most awfullest team only once in a while. Plenty of team speed against Mizzou. Conservative play calling doesn’t explain Mr. Mohawk.

OK, one at a time, chumps.

World Picker: you seem to be the only person claiming inadequate bowl preparation. Oops, I guess The OSU might make that claim. You know, the OSU you picked to beat LSU at home.

What's the obsession with you and OU?
You really need to call your shrink, World Picker, so much anger toward a state college football team is unhealthy. (Tulsa played a bowl game and won. So did Osu. Where is your "insight" and "observations" on those games?)

OSUNDN: Feel free to use my riddle/question any time; but if you use it in Stoolwater don't come crying to me when all you get are those vacant, glassy-eyed heifer stares.

Sam Mccoy: you're right and you're wrong:
WP is not a punk. He's a fan bigot.
Play calling on any side of any ball by any coach is only as good as the execution by the players.
Did a different coach call the touchdown plays?

World Picker aka fan bigot, OU basher : a riddle for you and your dancing partner, OSUNDN:
Q: What is the most important step in preparing for a BCS bowl?
A: Getting invited to play in one.
(Do I feel that vacant stare?)

World Picker you need to spend less time listening to sports radio and more time cogitating.
You should be fired.

Nit Picker: We'll give you $5 to go away and never come back to ruin all our good moods.

Or: I'll print your picks.

Why don't you go write somebody you have a lot in common with, those OKC cheerleaders.

Why do you continue to display an addiction to this site?

Haven't heard anybody talk about changing bowl preparations? Medium Game Bob said it.

If I understand your argument, then you contend that OU's preparation was fine, but that the players were out of shape, out of position, and out of luck.

It seems that poor coaching preparation is more likely.

When you look at some of the games this year, Iowa State played OU pretty tough for the first half, get beat by two unranked teams, and humilated in the bowl games the last four years. Why do they play with such low intensity when it really matters(except for Mizzou in which case they were mad bout comments by by MU players). This is not the character of OU. I have been an OU fan since the 1950s when the 47 game winning streak and do not remember getting thumped like they have the past few years. Why can't the biggest offensive line get a yard when they really need it. There needs to be some changes at the defensive coach level.

World Picker:
I can always use an extra $5, but you and your newspaper can't afford to lose any more blogger hits.

Since you asked, my picks;

LSU (anyone who picked OSU to beat LSU in NOLA this year is plain dumb),
Kansas( only iffy game, but if you looked closely you noted KU was as good as MU),
WVU ( anyone who picked this OU team to play 3rd good game in a row, 'away', deserves to lose $$$),
Texas (Mack not consistent, but ASU way overrated, type of team UT beats up on),
Missouri(only OU bashers jumped off of this band wagon on December 3rd), Georgia(easiest lock ever picked),
Tulsa ( sentimental pick, mostly, but good coaching and very hard to stop offense),

Addicted to this site? Me? Wouldn't it be like being addicted to a placebo? Anyway, I can quit any time I want to. Honest.

Change bowl preparations? Maybe, but not the same as saying all past preparations were "bad". He also said they have prepared the same way each year-including the years they won the Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Rose Bowl. Soooo...should change be retroactive, Mr. Hindsight?

You are a huge fan bigot and are too lazy to think logically before blogging.
You should be fired.
(All who agree, send $5 to World Picker, who will forward same to me. OSUNDN, you must pay $10)

Mike & John:

What!? You don't believe I picked those teams before the games were played?
You need to look vwewy closley at all my posts and rants. I am confident you will be able to discern my picks long before the games were played.

I picked the winners. You and the World Picker did not. Your problem, not mine.

Regarding, "the spread": it is for bettors. And if one is not in Las Vegas (or similar venue), then one is not a bettor, rather, one is a chump with a gambling problem.

Yeah, I know, you and the World Picker got your local bookies; but, that is just child's play and punters like you boys might as well just mail him/her a check because you will never leave the table a winner, because you will never leave the table. What chumps.

Pro-games this week-end? Who's playing?
I'll check, but don't hold your breath 'cause there may not be a game worth watching, much less picking and even less worth betting on.

Seriously, I hope you and World Picker didn't lose too much on the bowl games. Honest, I really hope not. Truly. I'm serious. I really mean it.

World Picker should be fired. He should move in with Mike and John.

To Mike:

Believe what you want, I don't care either way. You don't show your picks either (I suspect it is because you are so bad at it).

Sounds to me like you are the one who needs to grab a backbone; just how addicted are you to small time sports gambling?

What do you do during the off-season? Kick your dog around?

Oh, I know, you and World Picker run around Tulsa trying to hustle college students. Wow, how cool.

World Picker picked the chalk, sans spread. Your picks were a mystery. I liked WP's picks and was so concerned it put me off of making a pick. Turns out I was right and, again, you were wrong.

When they fire World Picker, he will be living with you permanently I'm afraid.

Did I hit a nerve, Mike? Ouch. Is that the best you got?

I'll call a nurse, you may need reviving after that rant.

I may be boring, but at least I don't have a back ache from bending down and smooching World Pickers a**.

You post your picks, or shut up your crying. Either way, you are still a chump. And a cry baby.
