And although we don't like to admit it, certain Texans are a perfect fit for OU.  Baker was one of them.

Id love to put a beer on this, but you’re too much of a wispy spectre here for that to make sense.

And I know it bothers you to no end to think of your rival getting yet another Heisman, but he’s got the numbers.

Sam Bradford was our most recent Heisman and I don’t even think Texas fans would be low enough to try throw mud at him.  He has great character and btw is an Oklahoman.  We didn’t need to get one of those “certain Texans” in that case.  And he had the numbers.

Jason White, our Heisman before that, also had great character, and kept playing long after his knees were shot which showed his grit, and he was also from Oklahoma.  And he had the numbers.

True Baker is a bit of a jackass.  Not really at the Mansiel level because he’s more about the team, but still he can be an ass at times.  Will that affect his vote?  Probably not.  He’s led the team to a 10-1 récord so far and ... He’s got the numbers.

Cam Newton was already at least as controversial but ... he had the numbers.

And anyway typical Texas fan, you’re throwing stones at the character of other teams from your glass horn house.  i know you want to pretend the following is not true, but here’s what your most recent Heisman is best known for:

Giving advice about how to eat sugar to come down from being too stoned.  Ha. Useful stuff. Of course I personally like Ricky but he’s not exactly a great role model for America’s youth.

But, and in Ricky’s case this is a double entendre, lol, he had the numbers.

Congrats on your self-proclaimed expertise on student life at various B12 universities.

The only thing that will knock Baker out at this point is if he has a bad game, either this week or in the ccg.  And I mean bad as in TD vs I ratio, not how many times he’s seen mouthing the F word at his opponents.

As for Tarkentons no longer succeeding in the NFL, there’s Russell Wilson.  He’s not even as tall as me and he got a ring just a couple years ago.  Agree that the odds are long but I think he’ll get his shot, just like Wilson did.

CousinFred,

I'll consider that you grabbed your junk and gave me a few choice expletives.

At least that was the response I was going for...

Out of the blue, I just remembered a forgettable and long-forgotten movie.
I saw it on HBO or Cinemax back in the '80s when they'd show the same movie 72 times in one month and then you'd never see it again.
It had Kurt Russell as a former HS QB and somebody - I think it was Robin Williams - was his friend and former receiver who had dropped the ball on the big play of the big game against the big rival and 20 years later he's a loser because he never lived it down and he wants a do-over.
And they do it over.
Of course, now Kurt's a laid-back, easy-going, unflappable good guy who doesn't give a care about anything anymore and that's problem because he used to be a prick and he was only ever really good when he was a prick.
Or so that's how I remember it.
Course I saw it back in my purple haze South Austin days when I was shacked up with Shari two houses down from this really cool hippie chick who helped me get over a lost dog while her BF rolled a j.
I may have Escape From New York mixed up with Unnecessary Roughness and the Dead Poets Society.

Still I think the theme - real or imagined - is a thing.

Yet many of us seem to take comfort in nitpicking the fleeting, inconsequential decisions made others.  Decisions that are often no worse than things we've done in our own foolish youth.

That's it, I can't take any more of this subtle, left-handed criticism of my criticism.

Have I ever hoisted my junk in someone's general direction in a juvenile fit of male bravado?  Yes.  But that's not the question.

Would I have done it if I were part of the cast in a televised event?

So despite my ability to sin, I still sit in judgement.

what kind of a Horn fan would one be if not unfairly criticizing Sooner players?

someone might just grab your nads and try to rip them out of your hapless scrotum
