All I can think of to put up for now. Any ?'s, just hollar.

[yermom]

i'll bet Gresham moves up on those lists...

i so do not want to be in Glendale again, especially playing BYU

[stoops the eternal pimp]

BYU in the Fiesta? wow

[Jacie]

i so do not want to be in Glendale again, especially playing BYU

What are the odds a preseason mag could correctly call a bowl game matchup besides USUC vs a Big 10 team in the Rose Bowl? In the unlikely event it does happen, it gives the Sooners an opportunity to even the series.

[Collier11]

BYU in the Fiesta? wow

They return everyone pretty much from a 1 or 2 loss team I am pretty sure and have a decent schedule as always

[goingoneight]

Oh, boy... Daniel still ahead of Bradford. :slaps forehead:

[JLEW1818]

Can the season hurry up please.

[yermom]

Oh, boy... Daniel still ahead of Bradford. :slaps forehead:

well, he won't have to play OU twice next year, who knows how well he'll do ;)

[soonerfan28]

well, he won't have to play OU twice next year, who knows how well he'll do ;)

I wouldn't mind spankin' a #1 Missouri team again in the Big 12 Championship.

[NormanPride]

I'll take another Big12 championship, honestly. NCs come once in a blue moon, but if we can dominate the conference, that makes the task so much easier.

I don't know if I'm seeing something different in Texas, but I don't see them finishing in the top 15.

And Sam has a lot of proving to do after Kelly left...

[soonerfan28]

They also got beat by Tulsa last year, but Tulsa was pretty good.

[badger]

well, he won't have to play OU twice next year, who knows how well he'll do ;)

I know what he'll do!

1- Take steroids.
2- Get puffy face.
3- Roid rage on sidelines and on bigger, stronger opposing players.
4- HEAD PANTIE!
5- Heisman finalist?!?!?
6- Cotton Bowl.

Mizzou, the Cotton Bowl is your destination, much like Texas has their Holiday Bowl. Learn it, live it, love it :D

[yermom]

you left out the boogers

[badger]

you left out the boogers

Oh YEAH :D

I should have also mentioned Loft0wn3d! :D

[Civicus_Sooner]

Bold prediction.

Chase Daniel never plays a down in the NFL

[NormanPride]

That is pretty bold... He's short, but not too short. He's got the arm and the accuracy, and he seems to be able to read a defense well. His attitude is terrible and he's a primadonna, but when has that ever stopped the NFL?

If anything, I'd guess a steroid scandal would prevent him from playing.

[BillyBall]

Chase Daniels is the first person since Chris Simms that I dislike yet have never met. His demeanor just screams "bitch"

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Bold prediction.

Chase Daniel never plays a down in the NFL

Nothing really bold about that ...Most scouts don't think he will either

[NormanPride]

What's the deal behind that? "System QB" syndrome?

[JLEW1818]

I wouldn't mind spankin' a #1 Missouri team again in the Big 12 Championship.

That still makes me laugh, how mizzo was number 1 in the nation, yet we were favored to win the game. LOL

[stoops the eternal pimp]

What's the deal behind that? "System QB" syndrome?

1. size. Huge deal..See virtually unheard of Joe Flacco before the Combine. Daniel would most likely struggle in an offense were you line up under center 80 percent of the time.

2. offense. Mizzou offense is not a pro style offense with fewer reads and relying a lot on the spread. NFL peeps want QBs out of a pro style offense.(Matt Ryan)

3. arm strength. Still not sure where he is on that. Once again its not about how far a guy can throw it but what does it take for him to get it there.This offense is a lot of dinks and dunks so he would need a good Senior Bowl/Combine to move into a drafted qb.

[Collier11]

Oh, boy... Daniel still ahead of Bradford. :slaps forehead:

Gil Brandt has Daniel as the #1 rated SR qb in the country, Brandt is a pretty good football guy

[soonerboy_odanorth]

I don't know... I hate "booger" as much as the next guy...

But his attitude and the way he slings the ball around reminds me a bunch of this guy minus 3 or 4 inches:

[RUSH LIMBAUGH is my clone!]

If the Sooners have any control over it, something/anything should be done to keep us away from the Fiesta Bowl.

[yermom]

there are worse places to be, but it's bad mojo!

[47straight]

there are worse places to be, but it's bad mojo!


But if it were not for that place, I would have never met Yermom and Doleo!

[soonerboy_odanorth]

there are worse places to be, but it's bad mojo!


!klat ojom dab eht no yan-xI

[JLEW1818]

Chase Daniel has the edge over Bradford as of NOW. Just give it time, and I will give the FINGER to every Mizzo fan.

[adoniijahsooner]

Why is Pettigrew ahead of Gresham?

[soonerfan28]

Who had the #2 O-Line? and when does it hit news stands?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Gil Brandt has Daniel as the #1 rated SR qb in the country, Brandt is a pretty good football guy

I went to look at Brandt's list because I would be shocked if Brandt thought Daniel was the best NFL prospect....But it seems its more a list of top senior College quarterbacks than a top NFL qb prospect list..And BTW, next year's crop of senior qbs is weak..If a qb was gonna leave early, next season would be the time to go..His list. I would say there is a huge difference between Jeff George and Chase Daniel in the arm strength area. slinging the ball around 10-15 yards and a guy who can do it 30-40 yards without changing his footwork or his arm motion are two different things

Quarterbacks

Chase Daniel, Missouri (6-0, 220):

Graham Harrell, Texas Tech (6-2 ½, 205):

Curtis Painter, Purdue (6-3 ½, 225):
Patrick White, West Virginia (6-1 ½, 190):

John Parker Wilson, Alabama (6-2, 210):

[Salt City Sooner]

Who had the #2 O-Line? and when does it hit news stands?
1. LSU, & 2, it's out. I got it at Hastings.

All I said was that he had listed Daniel as the #1 senior qb, get off my back!!!! ;)

[stoops the eternal pimp]

No dude! I was using your info to discuss what some others were talking about! I know thats not what you were talking about...I almost included that disclaimer in my post but i didnt....

[NormanPride]

STEP hates you and wants to drown your kittens, Collier. ;)

[soonerfan28]

1. LSU, & 2, it's out. I got it at Hastings.

Thanks, I'll have to pick it up.

[soonerfan28]

I guess if Chase Daniel is 6 feet then I'm 6'3.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

no kidding...I would guess 5-10 or 5-11..


NP, Paul Gasol says to leave me alone! :)

[soonerfan28]

It would have to be in heels.

[NormanPride]

:D

[Collier11]

STEP hates you and wants to drown your kittens, Collier. ;)

thats just not very nice

[JLEW1818]

Chase Daniel is 5'10 tops. I played him in baseball, which he was pretty darn good at too.

[Animal Mother]

It would have to be in heels.

We'd all like to see that!!!

[goingoneight]

Chase Daniel has no experience in a pro-style offense and the only decent defenses he's played in his career figured him out at the half each time. Look, I know 12-2 looks nice and all... but I just don't see why anyone, espcecially Sooners are all that impressed by Mizzou's offense. It's a dime-a-dozen spread offense with terrible play-fakes. A slight drop in defensive performance could easily make Mizzou... well... Mizzou again.

Mizzou and Kansas need to follow up and prove their worth against quality opponents still IMO. But that's fine, because to a certain extent, we still do also. I can see both of them losing to Texass next year and I think we'll pwn KU in Nompton.

[Vegas Sooner]

That still makes me laugh, how mizzo was number 1 in the nation, yet we were favored to win the game. LOL

same as 2000 OU / FSU

[JLEW1818]

same as 2000 OU / FSU

oh yah . we got it done!

[Fraggle145]

Chase Daniels is the first person since Chris Simms that I dislike yet have never met. His demeanor just screams "bitch"

I hate that QB from aTm, cant seem to remember his name... heh... Anyway he is a punk bitch.

[JLEW1818]

I'm not a big fan of that coach brown from TU either. or his stepson

[Jacie]

I'm not a big fan of that coach brown from TU either. or his stepson

You are kidding, I hope. Imagine where a program with the resources of saxet would be if they hired one of those Vince Lombardi types who think winning is the only thing that matters. Stoops owns Brown. They both know it. The fans know it. The media is still debating the issue. As for his stepson, why he is the best danged ball boy in the fabled history of orange football.

[JLEW1818]

top hated people in college football - for me.

1)Les Miles
2)Mack Brown
3)Pete Carroll
4)Chris Petersen
5)Chase Daniel

[Collier11]

How can you hate Mack, he is just a good ol' boy that struggles to beat his main rival and gives all of us plenty of comedy relief, I love Mack!

[JLEW1818]

Let me rephrase that, top 5 people I would like to win against.

[yermom]

I hate that QB from aTm, cant seem to remember his name... heh... Anyway he is a punk bitch.

i kinda like McGee

i don't think i hate anyone really, other than PAC-10 and Lubbock refs and USC, hell, i barely hate Miami anymore, poor guys

[yermom]

Let me rephrase that, top 5 people I would like to win against.

1) been there, done that. he can't stay as lucky as he has

2) he beats us when we aren't that good. he's gotten pwn3d otherwise

3) needs an asskicking for sure

4) meh. other than scheduling a home and home, i never want to play those guys again

5) how many way can we beat Booger? if anything, he is going to want to prove something. he's gotta hate OU now

[NormanPride]

i kinda like McGee

i don't think i hate anyone really, other than PAC-10 and Lubbock refs and USC, hell, i barely hate Miami anymore, poor guys

You just haven't remembered enough about Miami. Think back to the Johnson years. Camo and penalty yards. Attitude and thuggery. I will never stop hating those *******s.

i kinda pity them now. not worth making a fuss about.

maybe i'll change my tune in or after 2009

[NormanPride]

If they come back and bite us in the ***, I'm going to blame your lack of hate. ;)
