On the day Jim Harbaugh soared with the eagles and Rich Rod barked with the beagles.Five reasons OU WR Ryan Broyles won’t leave OU for the NFL and three reasons to leave early.  Reasons to Stay:1. He needs 50 catches to break NCAA career receptions record. 2. He’s 1,576 yards away from NCAA career receiving yards record. 3. He apparently would not be a first round pick and quite possibly could drop to late second round. 4. He’d become one of the all-time greats inside the program. 5. The chase to a national championship. Oh, and a bonus sixth reason could be related to graduation.The three reasons he would leave early for the NFL: 1. His all-important measurable will not improve in the next year. 2 Chance of injury. 3. Money today, not tomorrow.One of the reasons I’m a Phil Jackson fan is his ability to work himself out of his intentional “poor choice of words.” The latest example being him saying Kobe is screwing things up in LA but wiggled out of potential controversy wiggling out of a possible serious jam by convincing gullible media that he really did mean “screwing up” in a negative way.Speaking of Lakesit’s realistic that OKC will wind up playing LA in the first round of the playoffs?Lakers are fourth and Thunder fifth in West. Never thought this question would cross the lips of moi’s, but does OKC legitimately have a better chance in that series than it would against the hard-charging Utah Jazz? Probably not. But the question of pure genius: either that or mere a question of mere ignorance. I’m off today and nothing better to do than watch re-runs of The Office, the Three Stooges, The Unit, Maury Povich and ponder odd questions like this. Went to OU’S bball game with three-win Maryland Eastern Shore. The talent-shy cagers of Coach Jeff Capela high quality person and coach-- were tied at 39 in the second half before ripping the Hawks in a route. After watching about 90 seconds of this one left me with two thoughts: One, Maryland ES was so bad they were making OU look like the Celtics. And two, that it is a shame that three knuckle-heads could take a Top 15 program and send it pummeling south at such a high rate of speed that one has to objectively wonder if they’ll win four conference games and wondering how quickly this thing will get turned around. Shame on Tiny-But Big Problem-Gallon, Tommie Mason Hyphen Griffin and Willie-Save-me-Blake Warren.Been on the Sooner scene since ’64 (that’s 1964, not 18)specializing in foots and baskets. I don’t remember any Sooners named Cameron. Now, there are two starters who are athletic playmakers.  WR Cameron Kenney blossomed late this season to become a go-to guy. TR FR Cameron Clark was the gem of the signing class. The wing player is emerging into a likely star. In the memorable words of Steve Martin, “I was wrrrrrrrong.” Even though I believe the head coach probably believed what the vocal MAJority was saying about Joe Castiglione signing the Sooners up for an unnecessarily difficult non-conference schedule, it turned out that it could have helped get OU into a BCS bowl.  Looking back, Bob Stoops’ unpopular decision to punt late in the game at Missouri for ranking purposes, paid off as well.
