Brokaw Booed at Oklahoma-Nebraska Game

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....

Looks like smeagol had an encounter with a horned cat. :)

I hope Brokaw and all his fellow propagandists in the media get booed every time they step outside their little utopias in Manhattan, Georgetown and Cape Cod. If anyone has reaped the whirlwind, it's these dinosaurs.

Nebraska fans joined right in from what I heard this evening from someone sitting next to your section.

Am not sure it was a smart move to hire John Blake and our former offensive coordinator Bill Young -- we had the worst quarterbacking the year Young was the offensive coordinator. In fact, under Blake, we flat stunk!

That was an odd game -- from the first kick-off it was like Nebraska was not playing to win but playing to run out the clock at the beginning. I am less than impressed with Calahan! You guys deserve better!

[PhiKapMom]

They deserve booing and more! I was really proud of the Sooner and Husker fans for giving him what he deserved!

[Cold Heat]

Boy!

That speech sure sucked!

And I only hit a few paragraphs before I got sick of it.

I shall name a new dinosaur after Brokaw: Brokawsaurious. Now if there were a meteor strike on the Earth to cause all of these dinosaurs to go extinct, that would be one event better than booing Brokaw. As for now, I add my BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Eat this!

Thanks for posting brokaw's speech. I hadn't heard of that incident until now. We had a similar situation in Sacramento, CA a few years ago. I think it was the editor of the Sacramento Bee who gave a commencement speech at the Arco Arena. It was a lot of the same leftist political non-sense. I think she made some insinuations about a faulty election. And at the time the Bush admin was requestion that media outlets be descrete about what they print, for security reasons, and that put a lot of media people in a tizzy --"so what if reporting certain news may put our soldiers in danger? How dare they try to supress our freedom of speech." Anyhow, the whole speech was very inappropriate. There were a lot of personal political views expressed. I think a lot of old hippies and other hippy loving leftists were hoping to fan the flames of another era of youth protests. Maybe when they wrote their speeches, they imagined their names written in the history books as the influential instigators of a new and more influential hippy youth uprising. But the youth of today are showing a lot of promise that they're not blindly swallowing this propaganda quietly.

BTW, a lot of leftists were very upset by the negative response of the students and guests. They called the loud booing an effort to supress her free speech. They just don't get it. A commencement speech should never be a forum for one-sided political opinion. It's the students and audience that do not have the freedom of speech, when these opinions are thrown at them without giving any time for reasonable debate. If only one person has a microphone, and they're just talking propaganda. What other clear unified voice can an audience give except a boo?

The use of "your" when it should be "you're" is just amazing-

[mdittmar]

Yore' so right.

As another Floridian, let me say: Damn straight!

I've been steaming since 2000.
Endless lying garbage from the MSM.

I looked for the place on the ballot that stated:
"Fill in this circle to send them all straight to Somalia,(Hell) but I couldn't find it.

Screw Brokaw.
And all of the rest of those people that believe that "shaping the news" is vastly more important than reporting the facts without spin.

"Freedom of the press does not mean Freedom from the truth."

..... Don't trash Kerry because you disagree with him. This is the one time i voted democrat, for kerry, but I never badmouthed Bush, I didn't say nothin bad bout him i just voted against him.

[MeekOneGOP]

From your profile:

Ya Texas you just wish you be the best but we all know it
ain't true. Don't mess we us. We be Nebraskans.

Yeah? Well, there are TWO kind of people in this world.
Texans and those that WISH they were.

SmartA$$ .....

[Just another Rob]

Wrong... This is exactly the same type of behavior they did to Bush in 2000. When stupid people threw eggs at his car while he was en route to his inauguration. I'd like to think that we are better than that. Lets get over some of this crap and start being Americans again.

Things I hate: Poor sports, in sports and politics. Throwing trash on any field during a game.

Let's all take a deep breath, and try to respect each other.

[DirtyHarryY2K]

I wouldn't trade 1 acre of Texas for the whole state of Nebraska. Wouldn't vote for a Traitor either.
