Before Mr. Monday declares himself eligible for the NFL Draft, it’s time to take a look back at the national championship game, sports fans.
Mr. Monday sitting up at headquarters, watching every moment and enduring every commercial break (
American Idol is almost back!) as the
Sooners were stood up by the prom date of history once more.
So there were a few lessons to be learned Thursday night, of course, between
Billy Sims’ reappearance at the coin toss to the time
Curtis Fitzpatrick showed up on the postgame news looking like the guy selling Shamwows.

Tim Tebow is a great guy: Say what you will about the Fox announcing crew, but the one thing they nailed was the awesomeness of Tebow.
Without them pointing it out, we might never have known that Tebow was the living embodiment of
Johnny Unitas,
Mother Teresa, Sampson and Dr.
Albert Schweitzer.
Now, Mr. Monday is all for being nice to the nice, but it wasn’t until the fourth quarter, when Mr. Monday was able to touch the television and be healed of chronic dandruff and scoliosis, that the true power of Tim Tebow became apparent.
Years from now, you will count yourself lucky for having even watched that game. Amen.
→Sammy Bradford should stay in school: Listen, Sam, we’re friends, so listen to a little advice. You don’t want to be the quarterback of the
Detroit Lions (or, good heavens, the
Kansas City Chiefs). You have a chance to stay in school for a little longer, take some marketing classes and hang out with the guys from the Thunder at all-ages night clubs.
Sure, you might be costing yourself millions, but do you really want to be playing pro football when you could be driving up I-35 to check out the Putnam City North-PCO basketball game?
But if you changed your mind, Mr. Monday would make a great publicist.
→Sooner fans are testy. Mr. Monday was going to find a lesson about
Bob Stoops’ mortality here, but the bigger lesson is how fast Sooners fans can bite the hand that feeds them.
If you check out our live chat on Thursday night (available, as always, on
NewsOK.com!), you would have found some late-game ugliness from "fans” who were ready for Stoops to go to
Denver on a rocket-powered jet car.
People, this is like being mad at your dad at Christmas for getting you a bike instead of a pony.
Quit being brats.
Everyone needs to write, "I’m sorry for not appreciating what I have” 100 times and send it to Stoops’ office.
Maybe he’ll forgive you. If not, Tim Tebow probably will.

tebow needs all the glory he can get because he will not make it in the pros.

David says "road to the National Championship"? WTF?!? Please...more like the road to nowhere. Chokelahoma should play Ohio State for the "Hype Bowl". USC or Texas could have easily gotten the job done.
Boomer Loser!
On Tebow. he sounds like a real good young man and he is a very good leader and a good player but he is not the best quarterback or even the best football player I have ever seen. He is not the only young doing good things away from the football field, the first, or the last. What is the deal. why is the media so hung up on him?
