Rhett Bomar might be wearing a different color, but he looks like most folks in Oklahoma remember.
Now with Sam Houston State, Bomar returned to our fair state Saturday night to face Oklahoma State. He is wearing orange these days — gotta admit, that looks weird — but he’s still making throws and still lowering shoulders. He talked earlier this week about not losing his talent just because he moved from Oklahoma to Sam Houston.
He’s right.
Bomar still makes a lot of quick, accurate throws, and when he has a chance to run, he’s not afraid to take off.
He made a huge mistake off the field when he took payments for work he didn’t do at Big Red Sports & Imports. No doubt about that. No matter what he does on the field that remains the same.
But in the same way what he does on the field won’t erase his transgressions off the field, those transgressions do not diminish his talent. The guy can play. Don’t be surprised if he’s drawing NFL paychecks some time in the future.
