Ware still says OU will lose 4
Analyst sticks to his word, says loss to OSU will be next.

NORMAN — The only logical assumption was Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops must have gone out of his way to disrespect Andre Ware's mother.
"How dare he!" cried Sooner Nation in August, after the former Heisman winner and current ESPN analyst predicted the Sooners would lose four games.
Ranked No. 3 in the preseason polls, Oklahoma was among a handful of favorites to compete for the national title. Oklahoma won 23 of its 28 games in two seasons, and with several players in the conversation for the best at their position in college football, Ware took plenty of criticism, thanks to his peculiar prediction.
"Oklahoma fans are passionate, and rightfully so," Ware said this week. "When you say something like that, a lot of places will let it go and move on down the road. That's not the case at the University of Oklahoma."

Ware is a card carrying MENSA member and a Heisman Trophy winner. To find out his prediction was made before the injuries occured, excuses if you will, surfaced is shear genious. Uncommon to find this combination of brawn and brains in this day and age...

AW must be a potential Brain Surgeon...he was so wise, he saw the future and knew we were going to have multiple major injuries and lose a Heisman QB...all that before the season ever started...yeah right...what a crock from a true DA...just my opinion...BOOMER!

The problem is that Ware made the prediciton before the injuries. Had he predicted Bradford, Gresham and company would be injuried, then he might be some modern Nastradamas. As it is, he's a moron. Nobody in their right mind (which does not include Ware) believes OU would have had 4 losses without major injuries to their best players. Ware is a JOKE! His prediction is a JOKE! Those in the media trying to sell his prediction as having merit are the biggest joke of all.
