Who gives a ****?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

I guess the same amount of people that care if you have big 12 tickets?

[texas bandman]

Even more impressive if we keep winning without any All Americans. Stupid coaches.

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Graham Harrell pick cracks me up..Colt McCoy? Maybe...But not Harrell

That should light a fire under our most senior OL for this Saturday.

[oubose]

OU is my All-America team, and I get to see them play on Sat.

OUTSTANDING POST!

[oumartin]

conspiracy I tell ya

[TMcGee86]

Are we sure this isn't a pre-season team?

Graham Harrell?
Knowshon Moreno?


pfft.

[SoonerStormchaser]

Really though? Coffman over Gresham? No OU O-lineman?

[stoops the eternal pimp]

Coffman pick is questionable...The OU lineman struggled somewhat pre-Texas, especially in the run dept, so I can them not getting a first team pick

:D

[Kray]

Coffman over Gresham is questionable at best. Harrell had a good year, but either Bradford or McCoy is better. Moreno is totally a "name" pick.

[Jello Biafra]

maybe this is proof that bradford is the MVP?!?!?

i mean, this is a team full of fail. hell some of them are so stupid they can't fall out of their own way. right?


the little golden dude is suppose to go to the member of a team that would fail miserably without him.....

noone is on the AA list and we didnt deserve/got lucky/cheated our way into the Big XII championship game yet, here we are....

[GPANDFF]

Really though? Coffman over Gresham? No OU O-lineman?
25 yards on 32 carries vs TCU leaves the O-line without an argument. I think they sacked Bradford a few times as well.

Gresham, on the other hand, is an argument. Especially what he has done late in the year.

[swardboy]

Watch how the linemen pan out in the draft....OU by a mile.

[GPANDFF]

Not if they watch the TCU and UT games. If they focus on the others then maybe. Big disappointment this year. If Texas and, to a lessor extent, TCU can stop the run and still pressure Bradford, what do you think Ala and Fla can do?

[starclassic tama]

graham harrell over bradford? LOL

[picasso]

go back and read the history. the coaches stripped down the blocking schemes.


belch.

[sooner518]

I hope that list is in our locker room this Saturday night!

[PLaw]

That's jacked. McCoy, Robinson, and Bradford are deserving.

Wow, the most dominant offense in the history of college football and no AA's. That's jacked.

BOOMER

[bluedogok]

All-American teams haven't been the same since they quit having the Kodak All-American Team on the Bob Hope show......

[Indy Sooner]

I guess Alabama and Texas Tech will play for the national championship as their teams are clearly stocked with the most dominant players?

[ashley]

To win with average players is the mark of great coaching.
