I wish we were playing 1985 offenses too! HA! Unfortunately we are playing 2009 spreads, and there will be points.

While I agree that OU has great depth at DE, your list of best defensive players confuses me. How can you rate Alexander the 2nd best player when he is viewed as the 3rd best DE by the coaches? Not sure of the logic here. My list would be:
1.GK
2.Dom Franks
3.Travis Lewis
4.Beal
5.English
6.Reynolds
7.Clayton
8.Taylor
9.Alexander

Barry…I sure hope your right. OU’s 2009 defense may look great on paper, but they have a lot to prove after last season.

With all your talk about idols on the radio yesterday. I wanted to chime in, and this article prompted me to write. I was in grade school in the mid-eighties and Idolized the Boz. I remember a poster (or picture in SI) of Boz and a couple other players in fatigues in front of a map. The map had impact icons in Stillwater, Lincoln, Lawrence, and Boz was crushing a couple in is hands. The headline was ‘Nations Best Defense’. Anyway, I don’t think you were fair in calling Boz an Anti-Idol. I was naive at the time, but even with all his flaws, as many idols have, Brian Bosworth was a fantastic college linebacker and on the field merited my idolization.

I think beal should be ranked higher
