Amusing take on the Bomar/OU situation
Posted: Thu Aug 03, 2006 10:18 amSome guy named Mark Schlabach wrote a column on ESPN.com, talking about how Bomar's braincramp really affects the balance if power in the Big 12, which apparently he thinks is a conference with many teams on the rise (Vince Young-less Texas obviously isn't one of them, but the writer says they're still loaded, etc.) Check out how he tries to make OU fans feel better about the fact that they might not fall all the way to the bottom of the Big 12:
"By losing its quarterback of the future, Oklahoma just leveled the playing field in the Big 12 South. The Sooners had seemingly gained an edge over Texas, the defending national champions, who will start one of two unproven quarterbacks this season because Young bolted for the NFL. Texas Tech, which finished ahead of the Sooners in the division last season, is looking for a new quarterback, too. But don't think Mike Leach was worried about plugging a new trigger man into his pass-happy system. Not after Cody Hodges threw for more than 4,000 yards in his only season as the starter. Colorado and Nebraska only figure to get better. At least Dennis Franchione is still coaching at Texas A&M."
Bwah hahahahahahaha!
