	Report Comment TK1, (5/27/2009 1:41:04 PM) Does this mean we won't know who Mack Brown voted for? (Of course we will, he'll be that lone UT vote hanging like a chad)

	Report Comment Dad, Up North (5/27/2009 3:13:58 PM) Jim, quit adding the vodka to the prune juice. Boomer!
	Report Comment MexiMike, tulsa (5/27/2009 3:32:40 PM) Jim, I like you stirring the pot. I am an OSU fan and as much as the odds don't favor us winning the national championship, we can now say we are in the mix. Being a team ranked in the pre-season top 10, what's wrong with that? OU fans, try to take off the crimson colored glasses and look at it objectively. By the way, Howard Schnellenberger said that OU cheated to get every one of their championships when he had just became THE COACH of OU. Maybe that has something to do with the grinding axe?

Maybe that has something to do with the grinding axe?" Odds are he'd already had a little too much from the snifter (i.e. - he was breathing) when he made that comment... However, knowing our well known cheating past, at least I can say that cheating is ANOTHER thing OU is still better at than OSU... After all, how many national championships did Hart Lee bring OSU? Hahahahahaha! :-)
	Report Comment junkman, Tulsa (5/27/2009 3:45:04 PM) Now Mack Brown can complain some more....who cares ....let's have a playoff
	Report Comment MexiMike, tulsa (5/27/2009 3:47:18 PM) Kat Hat, your statement is very, very sad.
	Report Comment Arbythree, Tulsa (5/27/2009 4:03:22 PM) MexiMike, I would say that to "be in the National Championship Mix" a team needs to have more than one decent season. Osu is a few away from that.
	Report Comment 007Dad, (5/27/2009 4:09:30 PM) Fat Hat...Go check the amount of national championships, in all sports, that OU has won and then check to see how many OSU has won. When you find the answer, then come back and talk crap. I bet you didn't even go to school at OU. Suck on that for a little while.
	Report Comment Arbythree, Tulsa (5/27/2009 4:36:59 PM) Thanks for the history lesson Shadow. See you in the National Championship Game. ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	Report Comment 007Dad, (5/27/2009 4:56:32 PM) Arbythree...you've proven you can't win the big game. Step aside, little sister is big now.
	Report Comment bruinsooner, (5/27/2009 4:57:51 PM) ShadowKnows: Thanks for the history lesson. I guess all Sooner fans are land thieves? By the way, didn't the cowboys kill a bunch of Indians? No offense to Native Americans only to ShadowKnows.
	Report Comment Scritchner, Tulsa (5/27/2009 5:29:49 PM) I heard Urban Meyer is coming out with a rap CD called "Ballz Deep in Tebow"
	Report Comment wk, (5/27/2009 7:45:29 PM) Jim - Haven't spent much time following OSU football have you my friend?
	Report Comment a disciple, Glenpool (5/28/2009 5:54:02 AM) The association needs to reconsider this decision. Without public knowledge and accountability, the coaches will be suspected of fraud and possibly bribery. Making the votes public ensures more integrity in the process. I have a feeling that this rule will be overturned before it takes effect.
	Report Comment MexiMike, tulsa (5/28/2009 9:19:00 AM) Roastbeef, you are absolutely wrong. I'll use OU as an example. In the '99 season, OU went to which bowl? Ahh yes, the very prestigious Independence Bowl (in which they lost). What happened the very next year? A national championship. This had nothing to do with OU's illustrious history decades before. It had everything to do with the coaches and players jelling at the right time. There was nothing that OU did in the '99 season that led anyone to believe they would be National Champs the next year. Yet, they got there and won. With that being said, OSU being ranked in the Top 10 pre-season, returning all their firepower on offense, and having a well proven D-coordinator shaping up the defense definitely puts them right in the mix.
