Will she do the same thing when the swimsuit issue comes out?
Oh, God, I hope so.
When she does, please share with your fellow sooner friends.
You talking about the article that makes light of the lack of talent in the league by using NFL draft numbers?
Screw SI, they've lost their way attempting to remain relevant
Well hard to imagine SI doesn't think much of the Big XII, when in the same issue it has an article making a case for Okie State making the playoffs.
The article on lack of NFL Draft picks is just taking pure statistics. It's not based much on just opinion alone. And hard to argue with results in the draft since they don't choose players based on conference allegiance. The evaluate kids on their pure potential in what they bring to their franchise.
When she does, please share with your fellow sooner friends.
Stuff like phone numbers, turn-ons/offs...
Here is another perspective.

Not so fast.
I developed carpel tunnel "reading" last year's swimsuit issue.
Picking Okie State doesn't counter what was pointed out in the article, IMO. OU and Texas, they acknowledge are schools that any of the other power 5 schools would like to have, but the offenses that all but KSU run aren't going to attract NFL teams when draft day comes along each year......according to SI. Paraphrasing, the B12 talent hasn't been taught so even really good players from the B12 have to "learn" when they get to the NFL and teams don't want to have to teach players, they want players that already know and have had experience.....this was in regard to offensive lineman. And to your point, it's hard to argue with the facts that SI pointed to regarding the draft numbers, or lack of. Surely these stats are being presented to the recruiting pool....all dreaming of going to the NFL.

He'll definitely be drafted, but I don't see him making starts anywhere.... ever. Sorry to be negative.
And Dallas could have the backup they want in Cooper Rush, so it's very possible they might be set at QB for some time now.
Ya I remember reading that part. I had never looked at it that way in regards to the type of blocking the players are taught in the Big XII, versus the type of blocking they require for the NFL. It wasn't so much a knock on the Big XII as it is a knock on the type of offenses that are run and the different fundamentals the players are being taught to excel in it. They just pointed out those fundamentals are the "complete package" development they need these players at on draft day.
BTW, I bet the Cowboys aren't making the playoffs regardless of how much SI likes them. Another playoff without a B12 team will really hurt the league, so we need the Sooners to avoid losing when they should win this year.
It would be pretty rough trying to recover and recruit going forward if the Big XII doesn't make it into the playoffs 3 of the first 4 years. Sadly, OU would be included in that talk by association.
I think we might had made it last year except we continued losing to teams that we are favored to beat badly. We beat Houston and we probably would have made it......or least been a serious contender. OU played great after Ohio State. A one loss OU squad would have been in the conversation. What is worse than not making the playoffs is never being considered. 2016 was one of Bob's better teams that just screened up early. JMO.
We overlooked Houston & had too many injuries to compete against tosu. The team gelled after that loss enough to survive some shaky games in Oct & finished well.
