Yes, Oklahoma probably was overachieving all year, and should be commended on being 11-2 before the fiesta bowl.

Exactly. I forgot all about how Oklahoma fans said that if it wasn't for the Oregon game they would've been in the championship.

Or just make your own cover.

I think they should just put hot cheerleaders on the cover every year.

I was just stating my assessment of OU. It is funny how close they were to the Championship game if not for the Oregon debacle, but at the end of the day to even get into the Big 12 CCG they needed Texas A&M to upset Texas. I think they were very overrated at the beginning of the season and were fortunate to get where they did.

Its the NFLPA deal that hurting their pockets...Am very happy if they fail.

Neah they usually lock up the NCAA cover athlete before they join the NFLPA.

I am sure they saved money using Zabransky over say Brady Quinn over Adrian Peterson. He is an interesting cover choice, but I'll keep maintaining they should focus on regional covers. They could probably save money doing that too, especially with transportation for marketing events.
