And if you think Jamelle has problems getting recognized, you should see the problems Troy Aikman has now.

I’m going to go ahead and make a prediction that the Coyne/Houston matchup will be the biggest blowout of the entire tournament.
Ann Cavanaugh could make a Bishop punch out a stained glass window, and Linda’s husband and OU Econ prof, Dr. Clark, once took the better part of an hour of class time to tell a story about getting drunk at his Senior Prom. I have nothing but good things to say about the Cavanaughs.
It’s going to be hard to top the Schambach slaughter of Andrew Gilman.
I once saw Linda Cavanaugh back-to-school shopping with her daughter at Old Navy. Let’s just say she looks a whole lot different before 10pm.
I have to give the nod here to Cargill. Sure, he’s pathetic, but his 100 ideas scheme created hours of humor.
By far the weakest regional yet.
Prof. Clark spent nearly every class hour talking about getting drunk and trying to get in Linda pants when they were dating. Hence, MacroEcon ranks in top 3 of all OU classes.
“I make love to Linda Cavanaugh - in my mind.”
If you haven’t heard Hosty sing this live, you need to get yourself to the Deli some Sunday night.
Take it to the bank. Mike Gundy and Bob Stoops meet up in the Sweet 16.
negative, traber fan…wayne sweeps and meets up against stoops in the sweet 16. mark it down.
I think Byron Houston can win this thing with one hand……………
He is great at solo competition !
He performs well in a crowd (and prefers it)
He needs the win so he can get some more exposure….
Linda Cavanaugh will wipe the floor with Cargill…maybe “mop” will be his new occupation.
Who cares who wins? That front picture of Vlade and Dylan is the best ever!
I think the lost ogle did a great job picking the match-ups.
And Cargill does have the most punchable face in Oklahoma. But in the nation, that title is still held by Paul Walker.
Linda is married to Dr. Clark?!
