Because it's offseason, gimee ideas for offseason polls

[badger]

Here's some that I'm thinking:

1- Best part about the 2010-2011 football season
Nominees: Texas going 5-7, OU finally winning another BCS bowl, Beating Nebbish in Big 12 title game, sending them outta the Big 12 as losers, ...?

2- Hottest guys in OU football history
Nominees: Joe Jon Finley, Garrett Hartley, Adrian Peterson, Trent Smith, ...?

3- Biggest win of Stoops era (sans the 2000 title!)
Nominees: OU/Nebbish 2000, OU/Texas 2000, OU/KSU 2000 for Big 12 title, Rose Bowl 2003, OU/osu 2004, OU/Baylor in OT (2005), OU/Neb 2006 for Big 12 title, OU/Mizzou 2007, OU/Mizzou 2007 for Big 12 title, OU/Tech 2008, OU/Mizzou 2008 for Big 12 title, OU/Nebbish 2009 for Big 12 title, 2010 Fiesta Bowl ends BCS drought.

4- Worst of Stoops era
Nominees: Losing to OSU in 01/02, Losing to KSU in 2003 Big 12 title, Losing three title games (03,04,09), The Rhett Bomar/JD Quinn fiasco, Any coaching job rumors that the media has ever brought up, NFL or otherwise, the Oregon ref screwjob, Sam Bradford's injury and re-injury

5- Best of Stoops era (OTHER THAN THE TITLE!)
Nominees: Jason White winning the Heisman, Sam Bradford winning the Heisman, Beating Texas 5 times in a row, Making it to four national championship games, winning the Big 12 seven times, having four NFL first round draft picks in 2010.

6- Best player of Stoops era
Nominees: Josh Heupel, TRRW, Q, AD, Jason White, Sam Bradford, GK

7- Who do you hate most (other than Texas):
Nominees: Miami, USC, Notre Dame, Tim Tebow, Florida State, Oklahoma State

8- Best final score to use as a security code password
Nominees: 14-02 (2000 title game), 63-14 (2000 Texas), 65-13 (2003 Texas), 52-09 (Poke beatdown 2003), 12-00 (2004 Texas), 65-21 (Tech 2008), 23-20 (2010 Big 12 title)

9- Best Sooner name to give your first born:
Nominees: Bob/Robert, Josh, Roy, Quentin, Jason, Adrian, Gerald, Sam, Landry

10- What outlandish prediction for 2011-2012 are most comfortable shouting outloud?
Nominees: Landry wins Heisman, We'll win the Big 12, We'll win every game, We'll win the national title, We'll beat Texas by 50, We'll beat Poke by 50, Texas will go 5-7 again, Nebraska's gonna suck in the Big Ten, Colorado's not gonna suck in the Pac 12.

This board is DEADER THAN DEAD. Let me know what you think of the poll ideas and nominees and if there are any you'd add or leave out. HELP THIS BOARD SURVIVE OFFSEASON!

Should there be a new delete me thread started?

Yes, the old one has become very difficult to sift through.

No, if its not broke, don't fix it.

Badger...been around a LOOONNNGG time...was on the first message board yrs ago with Stephen A's brother and dad...it was actually more of a chat room.....can't even remember what it was called...just hadn't been on here...

and wasn't on here til ouinsider shut down...

BTW, I'd voted for Stacey all the way through..till that last pic of Krista..wow...course I'm an old fart..so anything under 30 and decent is hot...lol...

[badger]

it's cool. i thought i saw you around for awhile, was surprised when you said i should do a different hottest sooner poll after last year's though

I might revisit this later, but for the time being, everyone would vote for Krista again en masse.

[A Sooner in Texas]

Baj, those are all great poll ideas. (and great pole ideas,too, Vet.) Why not one or two of those a week for now while you and every other creative person here comes up with more ideas?
It is dead here; another reason to hate the offseason. The polls would add some interest.

[badger]

All right then... which order should I go... and are the nominees OK? I was just thinking off the top of my head. I probably missed some better options on some.

I'm comfortable answering it

[deweydw]

I like #1 and #3 to start out. But I think you need to add the OSU trifecta on #1.

OSU trifecta... you mean

1- Dez leaves OSU
2- Then drags Blackmon down for a MNF game which he gets a DUI returning from, then
3- WE LOSE TO THEM GOONERZ

THAT trifecta???

2001 Orange Bowl's final score was 13-2, c'mon!

[badger]

2001 Orange Bowl's final score was 13-2, c'mon!

Shame on me... but I hadn't moved down here yet, so that's my excuse

As such, let us eliminate the "hottest category" for the time being and add in a new one: "Top laments of being a Sooner."

1- There's no parking.
And if there is, the frats want $10 for it, then you can't leave till the two other cars they parked behind you leave... and they never do. Gawd, you miss that car...

2- Back back Top Dawg/Daug
Even with the horse pigs looking less pig-like in appearance, you long for the good ol' days of having less costumed mascots at football games and more costumed dogs as basketball games.

3- "Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium"
No, nobody believes you Joe C. and David Boren that the Gaylords had to be arm-twisted and tortured with massive begging and pleading to agree to put their name boldly on the top of our beloved Memorial Stadium. And our mini Washington Monument doesn't make up for it, either!

4- Sooner/Brave
Nobody cares if you stand, remove your hat or get the rest of the words wrong, you just better d@mn well know whether you're in a "Sooner" section or a "Brave" section.

5- The weather
C'mon cloud, I'm standing at the top of the newest section lording over the student section with my comfy donor seatback and elevator access... WHY CAN'T YOU LORD OVER ME?! WHY are you giving those cheapskates in the old upper deck the shade? CLOUD ME, DAMMIT!

6- The band
They either play Boomer Sooner too much or not enough, but whatever the case may be, it is wrong. And it's not as loud as back when I used to sit next to them in the student section. Boo...mer.

7- Security
Your water bottle has to be empty before you enter (but you can purchase a full one instead for $5), you can't re-enter after wolfing down 20 beers at halftime and I need a MEDICAL REASON to get my screaming kid's blankie outta the car?!

8- Opposing fans
Yes, rude Florida State fan, we heard you during the moment of silence. Why are so many bright orange shirts around me this season? We only lost... five games now? Sh!t, what is a Texas fan doing up here in Norman...

9- Bleacher etiquette
Why does the guy behind you always want to sit and the guy in front of you always want to stand? And why is your seatback clearly encroaching on my number butt space? Why is everyone's garbage where my feet are supposed to be?!

10- The Wave
Is it third quarter already? We're only up by 50 surely they won't... oh crap, they're starting it. Tee hee, it died... wait, they're trying again? Haha, died again? Wait... STOP TRYING TO GET THE WAVE STARTED. Shoot, here it comes... WOOOOOOO! OK, now don't come back! ...crap.

Anything else?
