Anyone else fired up about Demarco Murray?

[SoonerStormchaser]

I dunno about y'all, but this guy might give us the best 1-2 RB duo in college football since Thurman and Barry up at Boone State (yes, I'm excluding Bush/White, cause they were a different duo [Ace and Gary??]).

[Jason White's Third Knee]

Hey, he's gonna have to beat out Allen Patrick first.

As long as Patrick stays out of the dog house.

[NickZeppelin]

I think at worst he's going to probably have a shot at returning some punts.

Buzz kill.

Is Patrick going to stay at RB? I thought he was a corner they temporarily moved over to RB when we almost ran out of them. He did look really good there though.

We'll he wouldn't go to SC because they wanted him at corner, so.......

[yermom]

AP not Murray

[Taxman71]

I thought Patrick was a RB that OU moved to corner and then back to RB?

[NickZeppelin]

I need to quit using quick reply on this board

[Ruuuuuufus]

Patrick played some RB in high school (and maybe in juco?) but came into OU as a safety. He bounced around different spots in the secondary and was then moved to RB.

[fadada1]

anyone see this kid run in person?

[sanantoniosooner]

I need to quit using quick reply on this board
slow reply also.

[soonerlaw]

All I know is Patrick was fun to watch this last year.

[NormanPride]

He'll be a punt/kick returner if he can hold on to the ball. He also has a shot at being the backup RB if he knows how to block. I really REALLY hope AD becomes a great blocker in the offseason.

Anybody else hear on the basketball game last night that Murray wanted to play hoops too? I'm all for that but what does everybody else think. Have we had any two-sport guys that played football and basketball at OU before?

[MojoRisen]

I think Charlie Ward and Julius Peppers and Donald Curry were pretty good, Is Tennell on a Basketball Scholly or Football? He is definitely playing both and I heard Gresham and Sam Bradford might too?

[The Consumate Showman]

when does the 5-year eligibility rule kick in and red shirts go away?

[Nate1018]

I would like to see Gut. run the ball. That kid is electric! His size hurts him, but his heart is there.

When was Patrick in the doghouse? And Why?

[NickZeppelin]

Gute has a knee tear to rehab. I doubt he's ready for the start of the season and may not be ready till about midway through the season.

bingo.

[springs sooner]

Brandon Jones played centerfield in baseball up until his season year i believe.

[Norm In Norman]

yes, and Jones never really had an aweosme year until he dropped baseball.

[TUSooner]

I hear his mom really likes him.

I got nuthin'.

[Rhino]

I like Murray, but I'm more excited about Tabon, Tennell and Beal.
