Oklahoma’s good ol’ boy coach will be on XM 144 each Monday and Friday morning talking college football. Should be fun, hearing him reminisce about the good old days at OU when his football players held co-eds hostage and his star LB was a ‘roid freak.
Posted in Coaches, Oklahoma, The Biz | No Comments »Last year ESPN had its first mock season with a PLAYOFF, played out on the 6pm Sportscenter each night going week by week through the season.
