Football

Hi J.R., I am a long time fan of yours and have very much always enjoyed your work! Football season (Thank God) is almost here! Only 24 days until your Oklahoma Sooners and my Alabama Crimson Tide hit the field yet again. I am obviously an Alabama fan through and through, and am also an SEC fan but when I look outside of the SEC to other teams I can never look past the Oklahoma Sooners because of how respectful their fans were when they traveled to Tuscaloosa a few years back. It was what I called a two year series of "fan friendly" games! Alabama is opening up their season with Virginia Tech, so we'll definitely get an idea of what the Tide is made of after that game. The Sooners from what I understand is opening up with BYU and should likely win that one by no less than 20 I would think. I would love nothing more than to see Oklahoma and Alabama in the BCS National Championship in 2009! I was wondering what your thoughts are on OU Football in 2009' compared to last years season. And also, what are your thoughts on Nick Saban as a head coach? Thanks J.R., sorry for such a long message, but football is almost here and I know you're ready to talk it up just as much as me! Have a great night and God Bless!

Sooners are going to be very good and if we can beat Texas on October 17 we have a chance to make it back to the big game. OU will be much better on defense and return all their viable offensive weapons. Their schedule is tough. Saban wins and has great organizational skills, can recruit and throughly understands defense. He's not my favorite but he can damn sure coach.

Hey JR When are you going to get Vince and everyone else in Stamford into college football, how about a little Oklahoma VS UConn, maybe it can give you some more to brag about around the office?

There are lots of college football fans that work in WWE and that includes many of the wrestlers but UCONN don't want any part of OU on the gridiron.

The buzz around here in Mississippi, is of course Ole Miss. ESPN, and other sports channels have given Ole Miss great reviews. Some are even predicting Miss v Florida in Atlanta. Can you see this year, Ole Miss playing say USC, Oklahoma, Penn State, or Ohio State in a big bowl game? Or do you think their still not ready?

I like Houston Nutt but he's got to survive the SEC just as OU has to survive the Big 12....not easy chores but if one does then any thing is possible. Ole Miss should be good but won't sneak up on any one this year as everyone knows Nutt is a great coach and that Jevan Snead is the real deal at QB. 

Football is coming around! What are your thoughts on the Big 12 this year. Word is Baylor is going to be top notch. Some people are saying Iowa State may surprise a lot of people as well. Who do you think the sleeper in the Big 12 will be this year?

I think that OU, Texas, and Oklahoma State will be fighting it out for the big 12 South while it seems as if Nebraska or Kansas will win the North. I think that Baylor and Iowa State are still rebuilding and won't contend for a conference title any time soon.

Hey JR, How are OU looking for next season? Are they gonna be in the National Championship hunt do you think?

Barring any major injuries and hoping we can successfully navigate the #3 ranked schedule in college football, I feel OU will be in the National Title hunt. Winning the Big 12 is going to be a chore...winning our division is going to be a war.
