#PREACH RT @dennisdoddcbs It's a CFB Hall of FAME, not a hall of politically correct All-American guys. Boz deserves to be in.

This seems unsafe to me.
I feel like these are always good for a laugh.
Why does my stomach get so queasy watching this? I’m not the one up there.
You just can’t make this stuff up.

How much time did he spend putting that pic together?
Just enough not to include Stoops, apparently.
Just means mike should offer McKinley now.
The Boz is getting the shaft. He should make a T-shirt about the Hall of Fame.
Do the recruiting issues OU is having possibly stem from being in the Big 12? Texas being down and having teams like Baylor and OSU contending for championships doesn’t look good to some outside of the Big 12. I still feel like it is a strong conference but it isn’t viewed as it once was.
IMO, that is certainly playing a role, yes.
I’m obviously a little biased when it comes to Brian Bosworth. Growing up during that era in OKC I was one of many neighborhood kids that was “The Boz” for Halloween for about 3 years in a row there in the mid 80s. He was one of the most destructive forces to ever roam a college football field and it is ridiculous that he is being blackballed from the CFBHOF. The man was the 1st ever and only 2 time winner of the Butkus Award, a 2x Consensus All American, and led the Sooners to a National Championship. It is time to get over his antics and “The Boz” persona and his tshirt, and if we’re not allowing people that used steroids into the HOF then we need to clean serious house because everyone is aware of how widespread they were during that era. The man Brian Bosworth made amends to his coach and his teammates and to all Sooners that came before him for the embarrassment that “The Boz” caused, and was embraced and forgiven by Sooner Nation. He made mistakes as an immature, brash, egotistical kid but it is time to reward the player, and the man that he has become and put him where he belongs. He said that if he ever does get in, his only hope is that Coach Switzer will be there to introduce him. Hopefully the people who make these decisions will do the right thing so that can happen. Boomer Sooner and I’m off to YouTube to watch #44 destroy some folks!!
Well, this class went from promising to horribly struggling pretty quickly..sigh. Why we cant seem to pull a top LB, with one of the best LB corp in the nation, is absolutely baffling.
Looks like bama’s down one more season ticket holder.
