Oklahoma Embarrasses Itself In The BCS Again

Not one to shy away from rubbing it in, The Blot would just like to draw the Nation's attention to the University of Oklahoma Sooners football team's record in its last 4 appearances in BCS Games. It's 0-4. If you need more clarification on Oklahoma's 0-4 record over the past 5 years please see ESPN's graphic below.

Of course as a Texas Longhorns fan I have to admit that to have an 0-4 record over the past 5 years means OU has made it to a few more BCS games than Texas has in recent years. That's really unfortunate, but at least when Texas makes it to the big games they come to play (Texas is 2-0 in BCS games in that same 5 year span).

Chris Bosh Wants Your Vote!

NBA 2008 All-Star Game LogoThe Blot saw this on Yahoo Sports today and thought it was too funny not to share. It’s a YouTube video created by Toronto Raptors All-Star forward Chris Bosh stumping for your vote for this year’s NBA All-Star Game in New Orleans. The guy wants to be a starter on this year’s East All-Star squad and the only way to do so is by winning the fan vote at your position.

Chris Bosh

The problem is Bosh is going up against two huge superstars at his position, Kevin Garnett of the Boston Celtics and LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers. Honestly, there’s no way Bosh beats the two of them out considering that a) they’re two of the biggest stars in the NBA and b) they are already the leading vote getters in the Eastern Conference. (link) But, after seeing this video he’ll definitely be getting my vote. It took a lot of creativity and guts to put this together, and with Bosh averaging 20 points and 9 rebounds a game this year he is at least a lock to make his third All-Star team.




Go here to cast your vote for Chris Bosh to start in this year’s NBA All-Star Game.
