We have an OKC freshman who hasn't played any college; a CA sophomore juco transfer; and a TX sophomore who hasn't played college.
Never can tell who will stand out.
I wasn't a big Bomar fan, he struck me like Joe Don Looney that we had in the late 50s.
Goodness gracious, the amount of trash on the Hawaii field is unbelievable. The fans must be total pigs. Here's hoping none of the players fall on any used druggie needles...
Shameful.
Aloha Stadium is old and outdated, and has two open corners that face the ocean (you've seen the NFL Pro Bowl).
Plus all those environmentally-conscious fans...
I always watch the Pro Bowl and the bowl games out there, and I can't recall it being close to this bad before. Sheesh, I think I can see seagulls circling at mid-landfill.
Just 2 TD's to go for the record!
What I want know is what the heck is up with these officials. They must be blind.
LMAO
Well, I do remember some ridiculously thuggish fights in prior years out there, usually instigated by the Hawaiian team, so I'm not shedding any tears over any shots Hawaii is taking. But yes, the refs are going to lose control if they don't crack down more. Some strange calls, too.
Good game at 21-21.
You just gotta love the Chuck-n-Duck aka Run-n-Shoot offense.
Tight Ends need not apply.
Timmy Chang, who played there before Brennan, was nearly as prolific.
AWESOME game!
Boomer Sooner!
Yep, I'm a former Houstonian, so have seen a lot of June Jones and the Run-n-shoot. Always exciting!
Those were the days: Jerry Glanville and their "outlaw" image. Unfortunately, you can't really run that scheme in the pro ranks because the LBs are too quick and the Safeties are too tough and can cover, not to mention the number of shutdown corners the NFL has.
Good to see Glanville in the game again, though. The WAC really isn't a bad conference.
We have one of the top quarterback recruits coming in this January who had originally committed to Michigan State, came here this week, got stuck during the snow storm, met all the coaches and fell in love with OU. He has officially committed to OU and will start school in January.
Isso/Stoops connection paid off and how could any quarterback not want Josh Heupel for their quarterback coach? Heupel is the one that has been recruiting him.
If you want the latest info, go to http://www.soonerfans.com message board. Some former players along with sports writers post on there. Someone is pretty tied into recruiting because they seem to get the info first.
Yep, it just doesn't work well in the Red Zone in the pro's.
Wow, I sure didn't see that pull when Auburn went undefeated and didn't get to go the big game. The SEC has little pull it seems in that BCS poll as far as I can tell. On top of that, all them sports dudes seem to love USC and ND to no end.
As someone who's played many football games at Aloha Stadium (my high school games were played there); that's just the way it is there when it's windy. The stadium is right at the base of a mountain right next to the ocean. This can create some tremendously powerful winds at times. Anything that's not tied down can get blown on to the field pretty easily. Also football fans in Hawaii have a strange love for confetti that i can't understand. Combine those tow things and you get a lot of rubbish on the field. I was always worried about slipping on a piece of paper and blowing out my knee.
Bomar, last year's quarterback, and Quinn, a lineman, took money from Big Red Sports for jobs they never worked at and never received permission from the Compliance Office at OU to get those jobs.
Bomar was a jerk before that when he kept getting busted for alcohol and didn't like it when Josh Heupel came back to OU as the Quarterbacks coach which was planned all along and happened when Long went to SDSU. Bomar said he didn't need a quarterback coach and didn't get along with Heupel but then Bomar is the idiot that spiked the ball in our bowl game which could have cost us the game. He may be right about not needing a coach because what he needed was a babysitter instead.
Spoiled brat in class as well -- not a very good student either.
I stand corrected.
But I swear I saw a bra laying in that pile of trash around the 40...
the WAC is alright, but really all it is is Hawaii, Boise and Fresno (Fresno had an off year, they're usually pretty good). the rest of the conference is a joke. Those 3 teams deserve better IMO. If I were a PAC-10 official, I'd at least consider adding 2 of them and making a Pac-12 with a conference championship game. both Hawaii and Boise are good already and would get better if invited to the Pac-10 due to the recruiting advantage BSC schools have.
