you know that someone is gonna start a new thread just because the title of this thread doesn't mention BBS at all, right? And then, another thread on top of that will be started because the thread with BBS in the title did not spell out "Bob Barry Sr." And then, another thread on top of that will be started to speculate who will take BBS' place. And then, there will be several more threads started by people who want to write a personal column on why BBS was the greatest/worst ever and who they feel in their humble opinions, will replace him. They will be entitled "My opinion on BBS retiring," "Thoughts on BBS' career" and "Taj Bomar is of no relation to Rhett Bomar."

How bout this for threadjacking? I am disappointed not in BBS' retirement, nor happy, because some people speculated some very cool things about what the big announcement was, and now that it's just BBS' imminent retirement, I'm wondering when OU will ever allow halftime passes out, or any of the other cool ideas people brought up. So now I'm disappointed that it was just BBS' retirement, because face it, we all knew it wasn't that long away.

So is there an APP for my I-Phone that will let me listen to the broadcast in the stadium. This is just great news. How many broadcasters tell you at the beggining of the season that they will retire thus making themselves part of the season's story. Typical BB. Oh well it's almost over.

Last year...if you rented a chairback....they gave you a small radio to wear on your ear as a gift....works at all the OU sporting events

OK, let's jack it a third time. With the expanded stadium and our high def televisions and the intraweb, how many actually still listen to games on the radio? Unless every other option wasn't available, why wouldn't you tune in online, or on TV to see Demarco flip, Landry throw and the Hammer... um... hammer?

Whoever takes the job, it won't be the same. Nowadays, most people are listening to commentary by the ESPN losers, not whoever OU chooses to be the voice on the radio.

the radio was just in one ear....and it was great for the times when the ref's we're reviewing something and nothing was being shown on the boards supposedly so it wouldn't influence their call...or get the fans irate.

BBS and Merv kept me informed while everyone around me was going "WTF?"

This from someone who cluttered up the board with a 287 post, 'DELETE ME', thread? :D

Two quick observations:

1. This thread reminds me of Morrissey's "Suedehead." Great song, but the title is nowhere in the song.

2. "Threadjacker" sounds a lot like the name of some NWOBHM band from the early '80s. Cool.

I'll go back to my coma now ...

POINT?

In geometry, topology and related branches of mathematics a spatial point describes a specific object within a given space that consists of neither volume, area, length, nor any other higher dimensional analogue. Thus, a point is a 0-dimensional object.

My point has zero dimensions, so it will likely fall flat, so perhaps it would be best to miss it.
