Thunder Saves Stoops

OU is looking at another three-loss season?
It hasn't won a national championship in more than a decade?
Hasn't stopped anybody in nine years?
Could be looking at a three or four-loss year next season?
Is losing recruits to Tulsa and is running 29th in one major recruiting publication?
Relax. OU figures to win eight, nine or ten games as far as the eye can anticipate. Become regulars at the Alamo, Holiday or Cotton, slip into the occasional big bowl.
It's all good.
Now Go Thunder! Out-muscle Memphis. Outrun the feeble Lakers. Outclass the Knicks. Get lucky with Miami. Win the NBA title!

The Picker strikes again! Already 0 and 2 in bowl picks, what an expert.The cupboard is not bear in Norman.

I agree that the cupboard in Norman is not "bare", but it seems like the OU coaches aren't trying very hard to keep it fully stocked either.

Picker is an idiot, he has proved that time and time again.

Come on Pick, how about getting on Gundy's fanny. He spent a whole season before he figured out that Chelf was his best QB. Good thing the other two guys got hurt.

Gundy did the same thing with his previous QB. Weeden was lounging around as a third-stringer when injuries forced Gundy to play him. Then, "Voila! Look at what I just found."

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.
