Sam Bradford’s father says the OU QB is making sure he makes the right move
OU football: It’s no snap decision

Adam-read your own response "the first winner in the new stadium will be the long horns". Again they are not playing, therefore, they can not win. I even typed it real slow for you.

who really cares!

Well Chad 2wife Smith the Chief has A lot of the Fake Cherokee OU shirt left over.
2wife sure is No Roll model for the Proud Cherokee.
He is up in DC now trying to get over his hangover.
Look at him on his Cherokee org site video.
He sure looks bad with the bag's under his eyes.
I wonder which wife he took with him or did he bring both?

adam, how many championships has mack brown won w/out vince young?
ZERO

adam, 3 time defending big 12 champs (6 total), suck it.

Greg, 3 out of the last 4 years gooners lost. And no matter what happens during the season...at the end of the season...ou will be sent home packin. AGAIN! The NEW OHIO STATE! CHOKE-lahoma!

OU press conference called for 4:30...Bradford is announcing he's leaving OU to go into the NFL..."I can't take the choking anymore.."

m...really EVERY Heisman winner? EVERY one? Your name calling says alot about you...maybe look in the mirror and you might not like what you see.

Adam-You need to get out more. The Longhorns wull not be the first winner-they are not playing. I know Mack will be whining to be declared the winner even though they are not in the game, but probably not going to happen, so let's start now. OU vs BYU...Texas can not win the game. Texas is not even playing in the new stadium the first year. Geez-what a tool!!

Bradford will be quarterbacking the Detroit Lions next season.

As a fellow Cherokee, I hope Sam stays at OU. He is a roll model for young Native American kids in NE Oklahoma as well as across the nation. Staying in school would show them that getting an education is above all what can give a person the tools for lifelong success.

Michael from Dallas, that is a random comment. Yes, I do agree with you the first two college teams will be the gooners and Longhorns but the first winner in the new stadium will be the long horns. Mack Brown will continue his tenure with another win against those goons from norman. By the way if you haven't been to Houston you may want to see all the pastures we have...just about none. Maybe you should drive your schooner out to YOUR pasture to get a nooner and get buck kick'd in the face and have YOUR three teeth shatter about the place! Yeah 'go sooners'-the NEW OHIO STATE'! CHOKE-LAHOMA!!!

I hope he, and the others, stay at OU until graduation, But I most definitely understand the issue of dollars and cents. Sam, Jermaine and Trent, I, for one, will understand if you go but sincerely hope your decision is to return and take us to another chance at a national championship!

Jolly - Every Heisman winner is given that honor by their home towns you moron.

The Conspiracy Theorist would say interesting timing on the "Sam Bradford Day" only a couple of days before a decision is going to be made. Now OU or their rabid fans would NEVER try to brainwash him now would they? Hmmmmmm

Brian in midwest city. What? I'm not allowed a typo or two. It's a blog. Fuggedaboudit.

Careful about insulting TX players; the majority of OU's roster year over year is made up of TX born players. If I were Mack Brown I'd love to poach a premier OK player once in a while... I'm sure Brown is still upset about losing Adrian to OU. Besides Colt carried that team. There's no reason for UT to be envious of Sam or Tebow.

I waiting...

Boy, from an observer from the East Coast it sure seems like the folks in Texas sure are envious of you fine citizens of Oklahoma. With all the high school talent they have in Texas, Mack Brown shouldn't be trying to talk his way into a game rather he might try winning all his games!

Now go back to the pasture and chew your cud on that.
See ya in October

GO SOONERS!!!!!

Just because Gresham got an A+ on his draft card, which means he is 1st round material, doesn't mean he will go in the 1st. Most NFL teams won't take a tightend in the first 2 rounds. Gresham is smart and the only reason you haven't heard from him is because he is waiting for Bradford. But both he and McCoy along with several other players and a few coaches have been really pushing for Bradford to come back. If OU had a decent QB waiting to step in with some experience, then Gresham would be back in a heart beat. He has said many times before that he loves playing at OU and wants to play next year for OU and that he isn't in any hurry to get to the NFL. At the same time, however, he knows that it could hurt his chances having to learn how to work with a freshman QB with no game experience. And so while he might not want to leave before his senior year, he realizes that it would be the best thing for his future to do just that if Bradford decides to come out. Trent Williams I think has the toughest decision to make because he got back a B - grade. He would be risking a ton whatever he decides. If he stays, he will be moved to left tackle and would have to learn and excel at a new position in just one years time to improve his draft rating. If he can’t then his stock will drop way down and he will be left going sometime during the second day of the draft. If he succeeds, then he could be a top 10 pick next year and make tens of millions more than what he would get now. Just depends on how confident the guy is and if he is willing to gamble with those issues. I personally think 2 out of the 3 remaining will be back… I hope all 3 do but that is just my gut feeling.

Which of you opinionated posters is the real NFL expert? Please stand up. I love how everyone knows what he should do. If he was my son, take the money and run. I would love for him to remain a Sooner, but lets be serious, we are talking millions of $$$$. Good luck Sam we will miss you or see you next year in Norman. Either way GOOD LUCK. Boomer Sooner

Jolly, sorry to keep dissagreeing with you. I mean no disrespect. I think developing his "run for his life routine" WOULD help him be a better NFL players. The reason most NFL QB's are from 2nd tier teams is because they are used to playing against superior defenses, used to making something out of nothing and used to getting hammered every other play. I agree that Gresham will be good in the NFL. I disagree that playing with an unproven QB would hurt him. He just has to make his blocks and catch the balls thrown to him. NFL guys dont care about stats. I dont think Gresham staying would either hurt or help him from a money standpoint. It could help if he improves his blocking. It could hurt if he gets injured.

Very few quality TE prospects in the draft this year and Gresham will have a great opportunity to land on a semi-decent team since he won't be drafted until later. The money is just an added bonus. Only way Gresham stays if he and Sam talk. Gresham won't want to kill his chances with an unproven QB.

jo I beg to differ if the NFL/experts say he's going to be one of the top 2 taken. If he wasn't NFL material they wouldn't of notified him of his 1st round selection. One year working with an inexperienced offense will not make him into an NFL quarterback, though his running for his life routine will improve.

If Gresham comes out he'll never be heard from again, but he'll have a pocket full of money.

Sam's a great kid and an asset to the Sooners, but not Pro material at QB right now. He can't
make a play with his feet when needed, and he has very little bulk. A big NFL lineman hits
him a couple of times, it's over. Jason had the bulk and arm and accuracy, but no wheels.

#1, just being one of the top 2 QB's does not guaranty that he will go in the top 5. Also, everyone acts like Leinart lost himself all this money, when, in truth, he negotiated for similar money that Mario Williams got. Look, Im not saying he should stay, Im not saying he should go. Im just saying that there is more to consider here than the money, because the money is still in question depending on which NFL "experts" you ask. He will get a lot, no doubt, but he could potentially get a lot next year as well and probably be more prepared to compete in the NFL.

Horn fans resort to hanging off of Tebow's sack too?

Matt you may be right, but you've got to take advantage of being a top 5 draft pick no matter what. School is always there to return to when his time in the NFL is complete. Who knows if he'll be a Manning/Ryan/Flacco/Rivers, or a Torretta/Akili Smith/Ryan Leaf type of back...but you've got to take the life changing $$ when it's offered because IF (a big if) the offense stings or OU has a mediocre season by their standards he could really toss away big money.

THANKS FOR ANOTHER BRADFORD STORY. MAYBE NEXT TIME YOU CAN ENCLOSE SOME OF HIS BABY PICTURES. GIVE ME A BREAK!!

TOM, LAWTON...95% Chance? Are you insane? Bradford is insane if he doesn't take the money!!

Gary, Joe Montana won a title in 1977, Joe Namath won a title in 1964, Aikman MAY have won a title with OU had he not been injured (I doubt it though), Besides Peyton Manning and Bart Starr, the rest all played at 2nd tier programs. Most of the best NFL QB's are from 2nd tier programs. Im not saying that Sam will be a bust, but Im not ready to say that he will be good either. Every game where he has been pressured, we have lost, not that he played poorly in all of them, but the team lost.

I knew Cedric Benson was doomed when he said he would rather win the Heisman than to beat OU. That aside, we've stooped to talking about his teeth?

Texas can be proud of guys like Cedric Benson and his prestigious pro career, Chris Simms has led so many teams to the Super Bowl, I have lost count. Those great players of the past Lamb Jones and Ham Jones-multiple Pro Bowl appearances, if I remember correctly.

About sammy bradford day....The other 364 days in Joke-lahoma is Tim Tebow/Colt McCoy day. Stay in school bradford and get some braces. I like seeing you sooners get beat by UT. boo-hoo boo-hoo-mer sooner!

Bernie, you oklahomans need as much education as possible!

j of austin - how is Sam a flop? He's directed the Sooner to two Big 12 championships (something your "flop" horns can't do) in his two years at OU and won the Heisman Trophy. Didn't win the national championship? Neither did Larry Bird while in college nor your great Colt McCoy nor Joe Namath nor Gale Sayres nor John Elway nor Roger Staubach nor Johnny Unitas nor Joe Montana nor Eli Manning nor Peyton Manning nor Troy Aikman nor Dan Fouts nor Drew Breeze nor Bart Starr nor Jim Brown ... I could keep listing great sports stars who didn't win a national champion while in college. Would you consider all of them 'flops'? Here Sam's being considered for signing a multi-million dollar pro contract and he's a flop? You should know what a flop is since you see one every time you shave (that is if you have to shave at all).

I dont think it is a given either way. I can make a case to stay or go. First, stay and risk falling in next years draft. I think the injury risk is overrated, but it is still a chance. If he goes, there is no GUARANTEE that he will go in the top 5 or even be the #1 QB just because Todd McShay thinks so. Many NFL teams like Stafford better. Also, Im still not convinced that Sam will be a good NFL QB. Very few good NFL QB's were big time players at big time programs. Mainly just Peyton Manning. Eli was at a 2nd tier team. Brady was at Michigan but went in later rounds. The best NFL QB's are gritty, tough and used to playing under pressure. We havent seen that from Bradford.

lol...I rest my case...one bad hit or injury and POOF. OU fans need to understand that and see the other side of the issue.

Stay in school, Sam. Get your education and improve your skills as a quarterback more. You are only a sophomore. The NFL will be an eye opening experience and you will be running for your life much of the time as a very green quarterback. Besides, OU needs you more! You are their only hope for next year. If you leave, they will be in even more shambles on offense. Of course, OU's offense was exposed big time in the NC game, just as it has been in the last 2 NC BCS games they have been in. Stay and make improvements and get this offense able to score on anyone, not just the crappy Big 12 defenses.

Kelly even if that's the case, I think OU fans are being selfish in wanting Sam to stay for their own reasons. Let's face it, the only reason OU fans want Sam and Co. to stay is because they fear losing next year...that's hitting the nail on the head.

Jolly, Goodell said 2 weeks ago there will be no change in the NFL cap rules for rookies until at least 2011.

Cooter and Mister are both Okie boys. But I can give you a guess which college they don't support. I'm pretty sure neither actually attended college based on their posts. Mister used to have some well-thought out posts (it has been a while), but Cooter has always been a racist, hate-filled crackpot. Sooners played well in Florida. The 0-5 doesn't make any sense. Are you just picking the years you want to count? 1-3 in National Champ games is Stoops record. I can live with that. At least his teams are getting the opportunity. In fact, hasn't Bob Stoops' coached teams played for National Championships than ALL OF TEXAS TEAMS IN HISTORY?

I didn't know there was a Cooterville, texas either. Is that by Hooterville and Sam Drucker's General Store?

I didn't know there was a bogus, texas. Do they just use numbers to communicate?

45-35, 24-14, 0-5

The guy has an opportunity to be one of the two top QB's taken and the offense won't nearly be as explosive as it was this year. He was on College football's biggest stage to advertise his skills and he got a passing grade. Oh yeah, and he's got $25+ Million on the table. With a possible change in NFL Cap rules for rookies on the horizon it would be a HUGE mistake to stay.

Cooter, did your mom have any kids that lived? You are a real piece of work. And J from Austin, you are praying that Sam doesn't stay in school because then you will have to watch OU play for the National Championship AGAIN because your Whorns can't make it to the big dance. You guys will be crying for the next year because the best team represented the Big 12 and the best QB won the Heisman.
Z from Lake, you are just a straight up IDIOT! Nobody and I mean Nobody wants Rhett Bomar back. Bradford is head and shoulders above him in both talent and class. Reach down and start pulling on your head and when you hear the big pop that means your head came out of your backside.

Stick around Sam.
Pooter on sorry Cooter you ahve a big problem below your NOSE.

Is that a joke?! Rhett Bomar?! Puhleeeeeez!! I'd take Bradford over him every day of the week, and probably Landry Jones too.......

He should take the money and go give it his best shot. He can always come back and wrap up a degree later. In the meantime OU needs to stop having one dimensional quarterbacks who either can't throw well or can't run well. Losing Rhett Bomar is still hurting; he could do both. It was a great ride to the Heisman but winning a NC is a whole different situation.

Dad says "I think he kind of knows what he would like". So there we have our answer. Sam wants to stay in school, and is double checking to make sure he hasn't forgotten some decision point in his process. 95% chance Sam will return to school.

Screw joke-lahoma and everyone who lives in this worthless sinkhole of a state!!!

Only in jokelahoma can you be a flop and still get a day named after you. HA HA HA!! Like Toby Keith St. and Garth Brooks Blvd. You people have so little to be proud of in that nasty state. Thanks again for making my New Year start with a laugh!! little game bob is the gift that keeps on giving...have you guys gotten beat at the Rose Bowl yet? We can all keep our fingers crossed! LOL Loosers!

naitonal?

STUART SMART?

Doane, you are a TOOL.

I want Sam to make his money and do what's best for him and his family. But. OU didn't not win a naitonal championship and he was not fantastic in the game, although poised and good enough ... it wasn't his fault. This isn't a great quarterback draft year and he'll be in over his head next year. He really needs another year of conditioning and maturity and I believe that's in his own best inerestest. Maybe two. I hope he stays and wins a national championshp ring, maybe his senior year.

Although I would love to see Bradford stay, their are a few things to consider. First, look no further than Matt Lienart and how his stock fell by staying and secondly and most importantly the risk of injury. In addition, Sam owes nothing to the University. How much have they made just on bowl games thanks to the efforts of he and his teammates. Between the two bowls and TV revenues I would saw it is a wash. Gerald McCoy should be commended, realizing that he will have a chance to complete his education and still play at the next level. Sam, do what is best for you, but I sure hope selfishly that you stay!

Doane get a life...for real.

I REMEMBER WHEN SAM SAID HE LOVED COLLEGE FOOTBALL AND THE OKLAHOMA SOONERS. HE HAS ONLY BE QUARTERBACK FOR TWO SEASONS AND HE HAS LOST
TWO POST SEASON BCS GAMES DURING THOSE TWO YEARS. HE WAS ACCURATE BECAUSE HE HAD A SENIOR LINE BUT HE LOST IMPORTANT GAMES THAT WOULD HAVE MADE HIM A BETTER LEADER BY WINNING, NOT BY LOSING. WHY GO?
YOU HAVEN'T PAID YOUR DUES TO OKLAHOMA YET, IF YOU DO, I WISH YOU
THE BEST, BUT YOU WILL BE A STONGER QUARTERBACK AND LEADER GOING BACK YOUR JUNIOR YEAR AND MAYBE WIN A BCS GAME. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A EXCELLENT PLAN FOR YOU AND OU. LASTLY, IF YOU GO TO THE DETROIT LIONS, YOU WILL HAVE A VERY SHORT CAREER. SO THINK ABOUT THAT AND THAT YOU DIDN'T STAY AT OU LONG ENOUGHT TO PROVE THAT YOU ARE A WINNER WHEN IT COUNTS! DOANE
