Could be exciting.

That'll make it 1-6 in bowls since 2003.

Want to keep a Sooner off your porch?
Put a bowl out for him.

Great. Then we get to see him and the rest of his team melt down in the fourth quarter of important games on neutral fields.

BTW, did any Heisman voter stop to think that he won just about all of his games without a fourth quarter comeback or making a play in that period?

At least Tebow and McCoy had those skins on the wall. Bradford didn't.

It was my experience this worked for Mustangs as well. I once saw this happen and someone said the word "buffet"--fastest I ever saw our OL move!

yeah maybe they'd be better off playing bowl
teams ranked #10 like Texas does so they could be assured
a win and not play in so many National Championships

Any chance that his decision to stay in school might have been influenced by the fact that the Lions have the 1st pick in the draft?

Good question. New NFL QBs with high expectations drafted by new or bad teams generally are casualties of pressure, poor offensive lines, bad team attitude, coaching and scheme changes and poor football operations management. The only exception to this is Matt Ryan of the Falcons this year who hit the jack pot with a good new coach and a team with substantial on board talent. Everything the Lions do not have. Most "experts" opine that Bradford is ready for the NFL, but barely and an extra year in college will make him solid. Yes, and he can avoid the Lions. Should be interesting to see if Sanchez has given this some thought.

Um, what about that Joe Flacco guy over in Baltimore?

Glad to see he is giving it another year. I think it will serve him well.

good effort but you need to revamp the joke. you see, stoops has gotten to the NC 4 times in the last 9 years with a couple other bcs games thrown in there. they've had no problem getting to the bowl.

the joke needs to capitalize on the "winning" part.

just my 2 cents
