Went to see my Sooners play Saturday night. During the game, the announcer said "welcome America's favorite newscaster to the University of Oklahoma" and the Jumbo-cam zoomed in on Brokaw. There were 84000 fans there that night and about 79,9999 of them booed Brokaw. He looked stunned at first, but then laughed it off as if to look unaffected. People were laughing their butts off over it. A warm Sooner welcome....
Why would Brokaw go anywhere in the state that had nairy a county vote blue?
People are there for football, Mr. Brokaw. Not to honor you or anything else.
bttt
He went home and cried because it hurt his wittle feewings...
He must have a book to flog.
No, I think it is more likely that the red-blooded Americans in Oklahoma realize Tom Brokow is an obsolete icon of an anti-American mainstream media whose death is long overdue.
I don't think these guys really have a clue as to how much they are despised.
The same happen to Kobe Bryant at the AMA tonight. Kobe looked stunned at first and then smiled.
They will.
Forgive my ignorance, but what did Brokaw do wrong? As far as I know, he reads the news and honors WW II veterans.
It's sad to see Nebraskans behave like such douchebags.
"whose death is long overdue."
I love this sentiment.
I'm a Sooner fan and I thought it was pathetic. Dan Rather I can understand because of the memo crap, but don't boo someone just because they are A.) a liberal or B.) a Nebraska grad. It's not like Brokaw is *as* blatantly biased as Rather is, or Olbermann is. That makes our state (and university) look like crap. I wouldn't boo Bill Clinton or John Kerry.
Al Franken or Michael Moore though...

You obviously don't know much.
Here is the reason Browkaw was there in post #75 by PhiKapMom from that same thread.
His son-in-law is an OU alum and huge Sooner fan -- only good thing he said in speech along with Beat Texas and the fact that he comes from the same state as Josh Heupel -- Brokaw is not Josh! Josh is really nice, conservative, and supports the President!
I, myself, will never forgive him for some of the audio I've heard over these past four years.
Newbie.
Your forgiven.
