Football Forget conference pride, I will never cheer for Oklahoma - Page 3

1. Tebow gets tons of attention, but he's a gamer.

2. An Oklahoma win does nothing to help the other Big 12 teams, for which I cheer for one of them.

Agreed, i think he can contribute as a TE or something like that in the NFL

Clemson is faster than Florida? I saw somewhere that they have 12 guys who run a 4.4 or better.

CJ Spiller and Jacoby Ford are super duper fast and they have some oustanding ends but team wise no they aren't as fast as Florida.

He meant Clemson is faster than Nebraska, though Nebraska won the game.

I never made an allegiance outside of Big 8/12 against all others, but I've rooted for the Sooners more than any other team in FB, being a big Stoops fan. Wasn't a big Switzer fan, but his persona fit the team to a T [or vice versa] for that era.

No, Clemson is not as fast as a team. Of Florida's 8 fastest players, 4 are on offense and 4 are on defense. And, yes, they do have 12 players who run a sub-4.4 40.

Well that goes without saying.....I'd take Spiller on the Chiefs and I'm not a huge fan of drafting RB's with picks in the 1st 3 rounds but I'd make an exception for him.

ESPN had their pick the winner poll - only places that OU won were Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Iowa.

No fan of zero u, but I will never root for a california, florida or texas school in any game, bowl or otherwise.

Unless they're playing Ohio State or Michigan State.
