Wow... it's too tough to call. That's a heck of a list, ain't it?

But, if I'm in a "pick up game" of yard football and I have the first pick, I'm probably going to select the two-time Heisman winner Billy Sims. Billy...we're still trying to get that thing pried from Johnny Rogers hands! :-)

Ooops. I meant, Charlie White's hands. Gotta forgive me, I can't keep all the folks who've stolen one from us straight.

Wow. To look at the headline, one would have thought that the article was going to be about Thurman Thomas.
Instead, we get a run down on all of Hoover's list of OU running backs. What's wrong with you people?!
Can't you keep your obsequious OU superiority references out of an OSU article, Hoover?!
What's with sportswriters in Oklahoma?! Is it the stinkin' state law to have to mention OU in an OSU article?!
Hoover, if you're going to write about who you think were the best college running backs in Oklahoma, then do so and do so with a headline that suggest so.
For us OSU fans, if you're going to write about OSU, then keep it to OSU or something related to OSU.
We don't want to hear nothing about the Swooners UNLESS it's an article on BEDLAM.
Idiot.

Does anyone think an athlete would be less impressed if he was watching a team play in a play-off game instead of a bowl game? I'm not sure why the writer thinks this story supports bowls over a play-off.
