Greetings JR, In your honor, today I will be enjoying a huge sausage and brisket plate at the Hard Eight BBQ in Coppell, TX, which is just a Great Khali suplex from DFW airport. Question: How did it arrive that you get to be on the sidelines for OU games and travel with the team? Without getting into to much detail, are you considered a big financial supporter of the program?

I'm friends with the coaching staff including the head coach. I'd like to think I did not buy my way on the plane if that's what you're inferring. Friends help out friends. Simple formula. But yes I also support the program but so do thousands of other Sooner fans.

I know its easy to pour on Landry Jones for his INT's against the Huskers, but do you see him as the Sooners starting QB for the next 3 years? I personally love his size and arm.

Hard to say conclusively but it looks as if Landry will start next year. OU has a great prospect coming in from Wichita named Blake Bell who has the goods to be the man in time and perhaps Sooner than later.

JR, in your opinion, what is the score going to be in this weekends OU-NU game in Lincoln?

I think it will be a close, low scoring game. Nebraska losing at home against OU might not happen. As an OU fan, this game really concerns me.  

Where do you see OU and Bama going to Bowl games? and if it to early to tell when will be the right time?

'Bama might get to Pasadena for the big one if they can stay clean and finally beat Florida in the SEC Title Game. My Sooners are still grinding it out and a BCS game is a long shot but not a dead deal but perhaps the Cotton or Holiday Bowl might be most likely. I'm going no matter where they go.  

The SEC has ruled the referees working the UF-Arkansas game were incorrect when they made a crucial personal foul call against Hogs DT Malcolm Sheppard on the Gators' game-tying drive in the fourth quarter. Sheppard was whistled for a 15-yard penalty, giving the Gators a first-and-goal at the 10. They scored on the next play, tying the game at 20 with 7:27 remaining. Every Monday, the league reviews calls from its games as standard procedure. It released a statement Monday saying, "After video review, there was no evidence on the video to support the personal foul penalty called on Arkansas midway through the fourth quarter." There also was another questionable pass-interference call made on the same drive against Ramon Broadway that gave the Gators a first down on the Arkansas 21. The SEC said that call was a "judgment call" and "a review of those calls have been communicated to Arkansas." The crew working the game, led by referee Marc Curles, is the same one that blew a call in the Georgia-LSU game. A.J. Green was whistled for excessive celebration on Georgia's go-ahead TD late in the game, and the SEC said the officials made the wrong call on that one as well. The SEC had no comment on the officiating crew. why won't the NCAA rule that the game should be giving to the hog's?

The NCAA is never going to reverse a decision but the crew has been suspended. CFB officiating overall is not consistent and there are too many officials who are in Division 1 football because of their "connections" and not because of their abilities.
