Thanks for answering my question earlier this week. I know you are a huge OU Sooners fan and support Big 12. Im a Big 10 fan myself due to being raised in Illinois, GO ILLINI. I was wondering if you have a favorite NFL team and who are they. Also do you follow any other conference in NCAA sports. Once again get well soon.
J.R.'s Answer:
No clear cut NFL fav but I follow the Sooners on their respective NFL teams. I follow Arizona and the SEC.

Any expectations from you about how Sam Bradford's NFL career will turn out?
J.R.'s Answer:
If Sam is blessed with good health he's going to be a great NFL QB on and off the field.

Never heard of him but just read on draftinsider.net that Matt Clapp of OU had a great pro day today. thanks.
J.R.'s Answer:
Matt is a fullback/H back who is about 6'2" or so-245/250 who has a tremendous physique and may be a wrestling prospect down the road if the NFL doesn't work out for him. We've casually discussed it.

J.R., Please clarify something for me if you can. Can a "coach-in-waiting" pursue a head coaching opportunity elsewhere or does he have to stay at that particular school? I was under the impression he had to stay put or risk losing his "coach-in-waiting" designation if he left. Thank you.
J.R.'s Answer:
As far as I know, the coach in waiting title doesn't not preclude said coach from exploring other jobs. I think the coach in waiting moniker is lame, for the record.

In all the mock drafts I keep seeing Bradford chosen much higher than Colt McCoy. What makes Bradford a better qb than McCoy? Think I read that McCoy is mainly good at short to mid-range throws while Bradford has a much more powerful arm. Thanks.
J.R.'s Answer:
Perhaps "upside" and accuracy...aptitude...measurables. Sam is the closest thing to Peyton Manning coming out of college this year in my biased opinion. Knowing Sam personally, he is honestly a great team guy w/ intelligence and franchise QB traits.

I'm an Alabama fan so of course I enjoy laughing at Auburn. Today Saban called Auburn the University of Auburn, though it is called Auburn University. Some would say it was intentional(thought it was not) but check this out. Auburn's last THREE verbal commits said they committed to "the University of Auburn" Their own COMMITS don't know the name of the school they'll be attending for 4 years!!!!aaaaaaaHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Roll Tide baby. For life. University of Auburn. lol
J.R.'s Answer:
Only in Alabama....Saban's rolling with his Tide.

Hi JR If the Big Ten NCAA conference expands and adds a 12th member, which team would you most want to see be that 12th member? Schools like Texas, Pittsburgh, Notre Dame, West Virginia and Syracuse have all been mentioned as candidates.
J.R.'s Answer:
Texas isn't going....I would guess it will be an Eastern based school so that the Big Ten can better tap into the NYC TV market.

Hey, JR! I am LOVING the BBQ sauce and have gotten a friend hooked as well. I was wondering what your thoughts are on Notre Dame's former QB Jimmy Clausen - his shot in the draft, skills, etc. Thanks, Sarah
J.R.'s Answer:
Hook more friends Sarah as we need your's and their business!! Clausen has skills without question. The only negative that I've heard on him and that may be hearsay is that he has ego issues. Physically, he seems like he can become a starting NFL QB.

JR As far as I know, the 3 main rivals of the Oklahoma Sooners are the Texas Longhorns, the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Oklahoma State Cowboys. I assume that the intensity of the rivalry the Sooners have with each of those teams is affected to a large degree by the level of success each of those schools is experiencing. Sooners fans probably care more about their game with Texas than they do their game with Nebraska if Texas is a national title contender and Nebraska is struggling for bowl eligibility. If Nebraska, Texas and Oklahoma State were all equal to each other and the Sooners in terms of their strengh level when they played, where would each of these rivalries rank in terms of intensity for the typical Sooner? Which of these teams would Sooners fans feel the most antipathy for?
J.R.'s Answer:
Apathy? None of these programs mentioned get any apathy from OU nor do they provide any when we are down. Texas and OSU are the top rivals of the Sooners and Nebraska was but now we don't play the Huskers annually so the rivalry is not as intense as it was in the Big 8.
