What Are You, Nuttier?

Three questions.

1. Will losing genius offensive co-ordinator coach Gus hurt TU football?

2. Will Jerry Jones offer Stoops one hundred billion to coach the Cowboys?

3. Have there ever been five worse performances than what transpired in the NFL this weekend?

First answer: All the ex-TU offensive co-ordinator did was write the book on the spread offense. Literally.

How could he go to Auburn? On a fast jet, that's how.

Of course his loss will hurt the TU offense, a lot.

Second answer: Who in his right mind would leave Media Heaven to coach at and near brats and punks?

One hundred billion isn't enough.

Third answer: The five worst performances in the history of the NFL happened this weekend. In reverse order:

5. Gruden stinks it up at Tampa.

This pretender let his team get knocked out of the playoffs by Oakland.

4. Denver coach Shanahan puts the worst defense in NFL history on the field.

Why is this bunch of hot, thin air not on the firing line?

3. Favre throws ducks, loses at home to Miami.

Have somebody hang it up for you, pal.

2. New Orleans coach Payton is all talk.

The best offense in football finishes 8-8.

Former OU coach Gibbs was in charge of the Saint defense; bye bye.

1. Romo wrecks Dallas.

The main trouble starts and ends at quarterback.

There is a reason this guy was a nondescript free agent --no arm.

He throws about as well as his girlfriend acts.

Yes, The Great Romo does throw as well as Jessica acts, but he protects the ball about as well as she sings. TU's co-offensive co-ord remains and he couldn't help but to have absorbed the spread...not brain surgery, you know.

Lest we forget the second half against Arkansas, remember Gus? If that happens at Auburn, they show you the way out of the state, just ask Tommy T.

Dallas IS and always will be coached by Jerry Jones. That's why they haven't even sniffed playoff success in 12 years.

Does anybody understand now why Tony Romo rode pine for so many years? Who are you chunkin that thing to?

Name one really quality defensive player for the Saints?...exactly... that's why they couldn't stop baby ducks crossing the street.

She certainly has a nice, warm sincere smile.She can also wash a car until it is really really clean.
The Missouri monster keeps rolling.
Some where.

A wise guy said you could not go wrong taking the other side of Big 12 teams in bowl games, his rich point being, the conference was vastly overrated.

It had better be slow, or Chase isn't catching it. He needs to mix in a half order of fries once in a while.

Cowboy fans, beware of Oregon!

OSU will probably need 51 to win.

The Picker scores again as Denver does what we say and fires the overrated coach!
