For those of you without a microscope, the subject being photographed above is allegedly disgraced former Sooner quarterback Rhett Bomar. According to the source of these pictures, Miss Wisabus, the location is the Norman Ted’s Cafe Escondido, and both her and her father agree it was him despite the enormous amount of girth it would mean he put on. Per Miss Wisabus:
Rhett Bomar was there, wearing a hat, clearly trying not to catch anyone’s eye. My dad didn’t believe me, said that he’d be crazy to show his face around here, but found the story a little more believable when I said he was there with a girl. Dad finally turned around and confirmed that it looked like him. Maybe he has a girlfriend up here?
As someone who sat next to him in class for 2 months, I feel pretty confident in saying that it was him. So confident that, if it’s not, I’ll sell you my firstborn at a discount. Got some pictures with my cell phone and they are crappy and small, but there you go. He has put on weight and at the rate he was going after the “queso,” I think I know why.
Patrick still has doubts, and wonders how big of a discount she’s talking about. Personally, I think there is a good chance it is him. A person, like Bomar, who created a personal website proclaiming himself as the greatest quarterback to ever play the game of football when he was in high school has the ego to show his face around the University he screwed over. As for the weight gain, considering he was already busted for taking advantage of a “no show” job while at OU, he probably is going with comped food from the restaurants around Sam Houston State as his way of gaming the amateur sports system.
Assuming it was him, we attempted to figure out why he would make the trek back to Norman during a bye week. Here’s what we came up with:
- Wanted to Get Drunk at a Thunder Game
- Making up a shift at Big Red Sports and Imports
- Re-living the days when Sooner fans were more excited about his signed letter-of-intent than Adrian Peterson’s
- Helping the recently divorced Al Eschbach move
- Expecting for Sooner fans to beg him to come back and replace Sam Bradford
- Ride the new “Boomer” and “Sooner” ponies
- Trying out for the YardDawgz
Anyone visiting Norman who can’t come up with something better than Ted’s…well bless his heart, I hope you told him Taco Cabana uses the same recipes, you sometimes get served faster, and costs a lot less.
Don’t tell him about Greek House, though. I hate it when the lines get too long there.
Dude, who cares. RB can take his 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions can eat all the Ted’s he wants.
Maybe Rhett came back to clear his conscious, make amends, set things right, clear the air, right a wrong, start anew, set the record straight, ask for forgiveness, or he is addicted to Ted’s crappy tamales served out of the can.
Doubtful – Bomar is still at Sam Houston – http://www.gobearkats.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=92958&SPID=11345&DB_OEM_ID=19900&ATCLID=1282615&Q_SEASON=2008 – and they’re getting ready for Kansas this weekend – nevermind that it’s way too looooong a roundtrip for mediocre mexy food
