	Report Comment Hobbs, Loveland, Co (11/26/2009 8:47:03 AM) And your reason to pick OU by 10 is??? 1. You went to OU. 2. It's at ou 3. You went to ou 4. They're ou 5. You went to ou 6. You want ou to win 7. You went to ou
	Report Comment Filmmaker, (11/26/2009 10:11:39 AM) I'm kind of wondering the same about the TU prediction? I hope TU does win big, and while checking Memphis' record and seeing how they've been hammered, I do see they beat UTEP. If you subtract the Sam Houston State game, the only three Div. 1 teams TU beat has won a combined six games.
	Report Comment Brant, (11/26/2009 10:16:48 AM) You are giving the picker to much credit Hobbs. I seriously doubt any sportswriter much less one that is this obtuse, went to a division one university. My guess would be some low end school where you pay and get a piece of paper that says college graduate or possibly just a freelance writer with no education. Just a computer and time.
	Report Comment benojam, (11/26/2009 10:29:15 AM) This just in, the 'Picker' decides to pick his nose and eat it. You have finally p-issed me off enough to post. You write this junk with that intent. You are an idiot. Congratulations!
	Report Comment Chiefs, Gore (11/26/2009 10:51:44 AM) C'mon guys, give the Picker a break. He KNOWS that old "I'M A MAN" Gundy will call a naked bootleg sometime in the game and that will be the end of Robinson. He KNOWS that this is the only game left for the OU defense to show up. Think they WANT to go to the Alamo bowl? Most of the team lives in Texas already so it will be like going home for the holiday. OU will win and by double digits cause they don't lose at home to the aggies. Then Stoopsie will hit the recruiting trail for some 1/4 ton-ers to protect the qb next year, whomever it may be.
	Report Comment MexiMike, Tulsa (11/26/2009 11:41:20 AM) "OU will win and by double digits cause they don't lose at home to the aggies." Chiefs, what exactly do past years' games have to do with this year? I'm sorry, is Roy Williams playing safety Saturday? Is Jason White taking snaps with Adrian Peterson in the backfield? I don't want you to hurt your head figuring out the answer so let me just tell you: No. I love when people bring up past occurences as if they have anything to do with the present game. OU is a different team this year. OSU is a different team this year. How about we just wait and see what THIS year's players do on the field Saturday?
	Report Comment sportswriter, (11/26/2009 1:19:48 PM) The Picker needs a lesson in state of Alabama football. Calling Auburn little brother to U of Alabama in comparing Okie State to OU is like calling Southern Cal little brother to UCLA......Prior to last season, Auburn defeated Alabama 6 straight seasons; Auburn has 2 HEISMAN winners - Pat Sullivan, Bo Jackson - and Alabama has none. Auburn has the nation's 8th largest stadium - 87,451 - that is sold out every game with a waiting list for season tickets. This week, Saban called Jordan-Hare the loudest and toughest stadium in which to play in the SEC. Twice as many Auburn grads currently in the NFL than has Alabama. Do I even have to compare AU basketball to that of Bama?
	Report Comment signalbob, Signal Hill CA 90755 (11/27/2009 12:17:13 AM) Hobbs, don't take this guy too seriously, he's a teenager, developmentally, and should be given some slack. Probably still lives in his parents' basement! Maybe he'll grow up in a few years and be able to sit at the grown-ups' table at Thanksgiving....not this year, though!
	Report Comment The Masked Assassin, Parts Unknown (11/27/2009 1:17:29 AM) They're different teams EVERY year, Mex. The only problem for YOU, is you're still OSWho. You never know though, every 7 or 8 years you guys pull the upset. The upset. That's just funny isn't it, considering our rankings?
	Report Comment Glenn616, Norman (11/27/2009 1:17:37 AM) Mr. Picker, No, there isn't a bigger TV clown than Skip Bayless. After about ten minutes of listening to Skip, I have to turn the program off. There isn't a bigger talking head who doesn't know what he's talking about. I think that the College Hoops thing is a bigger travesty. Guys play for one year in college and go to the NBA, meaning that a college team wastes a scholarship on a guy. Also, that individual isn't getting an education. He just goes for a year to college before heading into the NBA. The purpose of college is to get an education. That scholarship could be better used on someone who wants to be at that school. As for Bedlam, the keys for both OU and OSU will be the O-Line, WRs, and defensive secondary. Whichever team can get better play out of those positions wins the game.
	Report Comment The Picker, Tulsa (11/27/2009 11:48:16 AM) Hobbs, the reason why I think OU will win is because I can't think of a single thing of note that OSU has done this year.
	Report Comment Old Titan, (11/27/2009 12:21:23 PM) Assuming your ORU question isn't rhetorical, it's the easiest one of the bunch: ORU's goal every year is to win the Summit League tournament and earn an NCAA tournament bid in the process. While winning the regular season title and/or knocking off one or two BCS big boys in the non-conference schedule would be nice and would help them get a better seed, just getting to the tournament is reward enough in a one-bid league. Of all the Big Five basketball schools in the area, ORU's goals, while modest, are the most clear-cut, year in and year out.
	Report Comment The Picker, Tulsa (11/27/2009 12:33:19 PM) Titan, thanks for that check-in. It's simply a little hard to understand how winning a lousy league and never winning a tournament game could be enough, decade after decade. Talk about a good coaching gig, right?
	Report Comment Old Titan, (11/28/2009 12:14:06 PM) It takes a special kind of coach to be at ORU, and a rarity in this world of stone-steppers: a family man who isn't obsessed with climbing the gilded ladder. Doesn't mean Scott Sutton won't someday take a better job, but it will have to be a REALLY good one. And I'l take winning a lousy league over finishing in the bottom half of a better mid-major league any day - ask Valparaiso if they've enjoyed joining the Horizon League. As for never winning an NCAA tournament game: just you wait!
	Report Comment Hobbs, Loveland, Co (11/28/2009 5:50:11 PM) Ok picker...I hate it when you're right. I wouldn't say OSU's done nothing... what I would say is that this game showed that...other than Texas, the Big 12 sucks this year.
	Report Comment gus, (11/30/2009 2:55:18 AM) Boone makes mistakes too.
	Report Comment DwayneDavis, Owasso (11/30/2009 6:54:29 AM) Those were some atrocious picks.
	Report Comment Chiefs, Gore (11/30/2009 8:02:03 AM) Meximike, I called it! Now hibernate til next year. As I said, when OU D wants to play they are tough. Just gotta motivate them and they WERE Saturday. I gotta admit, I didn't expect a SHUTOUT! POOR AGGIES!! BOOMER SOONER!
	Report Comment dcood, (11/30/2009 9:12:37 AM) Right on the money about Bayless... Unfortunately, he is a born and bred okie.
	Report Comment tattoo, (11/30/2009 4:47:04 PM) If it is ever confirmed that Picker graduated from OU I know about 12,000 alumni who will file suit against the Board of Regents. You see, it will dilute the value of all OU degrees and prove that Oklahoma state higher education is actually a myth.
