I dont think you guys understand; before the longhorn game they said how he wasn't going to be afraid to run it, and in fact did run it several times for a positive gain!
Is this man the greatest enigma in the big twelve today?
He started out as the most laughable quarterback in the conference, and although a hater can admit he made great strides within one season, he's getting alot of hype this offseason. Why?
I'd say if he was 100% at the bowl game, Horns played against a 70% Bomar. He seems to be one of those brainiac "Wonderlick" quarterbacks that likes to call alot of audibles and checks at the line, however none of those panned out well against that thuggish ruggish Longhorn D.
Let's examine the upcoming Red River SHOOTOUT (and I say shootout because thats what it always will be)
Bomar will most likely be at a new level of confidence and power. Howeva....
That thuggish ruggish Longhorn D will be as good, if not better, this year around (Kindle, Sergio). How will the Bomar fare against this D?
And is such speculation worthy of the oodles of preseason praise Bomar is receiving?
He likes those audibles, means he wants to be a real play maker, wants to be a star. But that don't fly against a defense that practices against Ramonce Taylor, Jamaal Charles, and the beast known as Selvin Young.
If you ask me, he's another White, with the balls to run it, as soft as can be, just waiting to blow out two knees to get himself five extra seasons of eligibility. Perhaps that is the key? Maybe he will try to run the ball against our D to deliberately blow out his knee so he can gain 5 extra years and thereby win a heisman by default? Who knows. That is only my latest key to the code.
Where do we go from here? Such is the Bomar Code. It's a mystery. And we need to decipher the code.

all my friends hate that guy!
he got ruined when they played Texas, and the more he got hit and knocked down, the more the announcers were praising him for not getting crippled or something!
his o-line is questionable, oklahoma will be formidable but I don't see how Texas' D cant key in on peterson and make bomar beat them with his arm and or legs
its funny because of his tailback, his defense and coach, hes being rated like a top 5 qb in the nation
he hasnt done jack to be getting so much hype or pub
what is really funny is that the announcers told us EXPLICITLY to watch out for his legs, and he ended up getting the wind knocked out of him, while you and I sipped on ghetto drank and watched our horns get a defensive touchdown.
Last year leading up to and in the Red River Shootout, he may have been the worst starting QB for any major conference school in the nation.
This year going into the Shootout, I think he'll be an average QB. That will be enough to beat 'Horns.
Question: did Romance Taylor manage to get unkicked out of UT?
the ramonce thing is strange
I've kind of accepted him as gone, but there are so many rumors both ways its hard to tell
grades are ok now, its just all the legal he has gotten into
How ironic.
Just last night I was watching the UT demolition of ou from my DVR.
I think the ou D will be much improved. How can it get any worse?
UT's D will still reign supreme though.
ou's O line will have some problems & the man of glass(AP) will have a hard time getting into the end zone. He may rack up some yds but TDs, hmmmm, I don't think he'll have enough to beat the National Champs.
I don't know what it is but did you hear that on myspace or what?
Are you insane ? First of all, had Oregon's QB not been out hurt, OU would have been ass stomped. Secondly, you still have a suspect O-line. Thirdly, you stop AD, you stop OU. Simple as that. OU is not a multi-weapon team.
Reason you'll get beat, again, in Dallas. Core of Texas O-line is still in tact.
Running core has another year under their belt.
REASON THREE....Gene the Shiznik hates OU with a passion and will eventually run Bob Stoops out of Oklahoma. He's on a mission.
Rhett Bomar...a human punching bag.
You do realize you were responding to a Texas fan, don't you?
So ?
If my own momma said it I'd laugh....Bomar will most likely be at a new level of confidence and power.
So... you responded to him saying why "he will lose."
I typically don't respond to NBADan saying "he and the Republicans will lose this November"
LOL
its not like my avatar gives away my loyalties
But it is a given that Rhett will be playing with a new level of c&p. Fresh off a comeback bowl win, heisman potential running back. But is his hype deserved? Such is the code.
What a load of crap. Bowl win my ass. If VY had been hurt during the aTm game and was out for the Rose Bowl, would USC's win be all that ? Nope.
Thus, OU's 'bowl win'. They played an Oregon team whose starting QB was out.
Mighty fine 'bowl win'.
^ Funny, I'm actually thinking this year's UT/ou game will be more of a defensive battle. You've got ou's suspect OL, Bomar has yet to really prove himself against a big time D and ou receiver's are somewhat unproven. With UT you've got inexperience at QB which could lead to more of a reliance on the running game and less passes downfield, just try and eliminate mistakes and grind out a win. I'm expecting something like 17-14 or 20-17 with Texas hopefully winning. Like other posters above I think the difference will be UT's OL, they should control the trenches more than ou's OL can.
I think every UT game until early november will be a defensive battle.
If our quarterback prodigies can utilize our seasoned receiving core, we will be a good offense, best in the big twelve, but if that doesn't happen we are looking at a defensive showdown every game.
Those Ds will will indeed be something to watch this yr.
Can't see UT lose anymore than 1 during the reg season & it will be an upset.
Won't happen vs ou or anm.
vs Tech??
Ohio State lost all three of their conservative linebackers, so its anything from an undefeated season to a 3 loss season if our guys don't play with an intensity every game.
But OU is one of those losses, potentially, cuz Bomar is an enigma.
Hmmm, not so sure.
OSU @ DKR will be a win.
Red River win for UT.
DKR win ovet the ags. (this will be a closer game than vs ou)
Tech, MAN! They are (IMO) a little more of a concern. It's in Lubbock right?
Yes, the Tech game is in Lubbock. Always a tough one, just like the OU game. I'm expecting a better one than last year, which means I can scalp tickets for more....j/k I'm not a big fan of scalping tickets. Although you wouldn't believe what people are willing to pay for those things. I ended up with an extra one last year, put it up for sale asking for face and immediately had much higher offers. Crazy people. Why the Aggies think they can come into Austin and win is beyond me.
Oh and Bomar still sucks
With Chizik and his 28 game unbeaten streak calling the shots, I can handle that.
Someone by Bo-nar a beer. He's legal now.
Bomar pleads guilty to alcohol charge
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Oklahoma quarterback Rhett Bomar pleaded guilty Tuesday to a misdemeanor charge of being a minor in possession of alcohol.
Municipal Judge M. Fred Austin sentenced Bomar, 20, to six months of probation. He'll also be required to pay court costs and an administrative fee.
"We do that routinely with young people, especially 20-year-olds who are caught drinking beer before they are 21," Assistant Municipal Counselor Laura Yates said after a hearing in Oklahoma City Municipal Court.
In seeking the sentence, Yates said she took into consideration that Bomar was a first-time offender with no prior convictions. She said she recommended similar sentences to several people in comparable cir stances last week.
Bomar, who set an Oklahoma freshman record for passing yards last season, was cited by Oklahoma City police March 10 after an undercover police officer spotted him taking beer from friends, pouring it into a white cup and then drinking it at a New Orleans Hornets' basketball game at the Ford Center.
Yates said police officers kept a sample of the liquid in Bomar's cup, and Bomar also admitted that he had been drinking.
Bomar's probation requires him to avoid being arrested again or receiving any traffic tickets.
Prosecutors in Norman dismissed a minor in possession of alcohol charge against Bomar in January due to a lack of evidence. Bomar is also scheduled to be arraigned July 13 in Norman on a misdemeanor citation for hosting a nuisance party.
Bomar, who turns 21 on July 2, threw for 2,018 yards last season and had a touchdown pass in Oklahoma's 17-14 win against No. 6 Oregon in the Holiday Bowl. He was 8-3 as the Sooners' starter.
Oklahoma spokesman Kenny Mossman said any discipline would be handled internally and coach Bob Stoops would not have any comment.
As far as I know, he's still a student at UT. He has been practicing with the team from what I hear, but thats all I know. It seems TexasSports.com is doing previews of each position, so I'm watching for the RB one to see if they mention him at all.
As for the legal stuff, I've heard info on that too, but in respect to Ramonce's privacy, I'm not going to go into detail. All I'll say is that it seems to all be getting worked out.
Well this looks like a good sign for Ramonce. As I said, I was waiting for the RB preview, and since its up I thought I'd share it.
RB/LB
RUNNING BACKS
RB, Inc.: Despite not having any one player start more than five games at running back in 2005, the Texas foursome of sop re Jamaal Charles (119-878-11 TDs), junior Ramonce Taylor (76-513-12 TDs), senior Selvin Young (96-461-8 TDs) and sop re Henry Melton (87-432-10 TDs) played a key role in UT ranking second in the nation in rushing (274.9 yards per game). They combined to record 2,284 yards and 41 TDs on 378 carries (6.0 ypc). The Texas tailbacks also teamed up to produce 46 receptions for 443 yards and five TDs. In all, they registered 2,729 rushing and receiving yards and 46 total TDs on 424 plays (6.4 ypp) from scrimmage. All four of the backs had at least one game of 75 yards rushing and Charles (three) and Taylor (two) each topped the 100-yard mark. The foursome, all of whom have had at least one multi-TD rushing game and at least one run of 20 or more yards, all topped 65 yards rushing in the opener against Louisiana-Lafayette and each had at least 57 yards versus Kansas' top-rated rush defense. Young is the veteran leader of the group. He has rushed for 1,122 yards and 18 TDs in 37 career games and has 2,104 career all-purpose yards on 282 plays (7.5 ypp). Young also helped prepare a tandem of true freshmen for action in the backfield. Charles, an honorable mention Freshman All-America pick and on the preseason watch list for the 2006 Maxwell Award, finished fifth on the UT freshman rushing chart with 878 yards and his 11 TDs tied for second on the UT freshman list. The Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year accomplished that despite an ankle injury that limited him to just 16 carries and 67 yards (no TDs) during a three-game stretch in the middle of the season. He had 811 yards and 11 TDs on 103 carries (7.9 ypc) in the other 10 games. Charles' 7.4 yards per carry ranked third among the nation's top 100 rushers. Entering 2006, Charles is rated the No. 10 running back in the nation by The Sporting News and the No. 13 by Lindy's. Melton's 10 rushing TDs were third on the UT all-time freshman list. He had a trio of two TD games. Sop re Chris Ogbonnaya played in eight games at tailback, rushing for 76 yards and a score as a redshirt freshman in 2005. True freshmen Antwan Cobb, James Henry and Vondrell McGee will join the group in the fall.
Selvin's success: Despite battling injuries throughout his career, Selvin Young's significance and impact on the running game showed in more than just his effort on the field in 2005. Young became the mentor to the Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year Jamaal Charles as well as true freshman teammate Henry Melton. While serving as the unit's leader, Young rushed for 487 yards and eight TDs and caught five passes for 21 more yards. His top game came with 77 yards and two TDs on 16 carries in the Horns win over No. 10 Texas Tech. He also put on a late season surge as he returned to health for the championship run. Young rushed for 88 yards and a pair of TDs on 10 carries in the Horns' Big 12 Championship win over Colorado and added a TD in their National Championship victory over USC.
Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year: Jamaal Charles was named the Big 12 Offensive Freshman of the Year in 2005, becoming the fifth UT player to earn that honor. QB Vince Young (2003), RB Cedric Benson (2001), WR Roy Williams (2000) and QB Major Applewhite (1998) are the others. Charles set UT freshman-rushing records for a debut game (135 vs. La.-Lafayette), starting debut (189 vs. Rice) and versus Oklahoma (116). With 878 rushing yards (fifth), 11 rushing TDs (tied for second), three 100-yard games (third) and 13 total TDs (tied for first), he finished among the top five in several categories on the UT all-time freshman lists. His 80-yard TD run against Oklahoma is the second-longest run by a freshman in UT history, the longest run by a Longhorn in the Red River Rivalry and tied for the 10th-longest run by a player on school record.
Positive yardage: Jamaal Charles has picked up where Cedric Benson left off with the Longhorns trend of downhill runners. Of his 119 carries, he has been tackled for a loss only eight times (one in every 15 carries).
Rushing efficiency: Jamaal Charles gained 878 yards rushing on 119 carries (7.4 yards per carry), while scoring 11 TDs in his first season. Of his 119 carries, Charles produced 30 runs of at least 10 yards, or one in every four carries. He also has nine runs of at least 20 yards (45 vs. Lafayette; 26, 25, 25, 20 vs. Rice; 26 at Missouri; 80 vs. Oklahoma; 20 vs. Kansas; 26 vs. Colorado, Big 12). He is averaging 18.2 yards per TD run on his 11 career rushing scores. His 80-yard TD run against Oklahoma is the second-longest by a freshman in UT history, is tied for the 10th-longest run by a Longhorn and is the longest run ever by a UT player in the Red River Rivalry.
Catching on too: Jamaal Charles has not only been an explosive runner, but he also made 14 catches for 157 yards and two TDs in 2005. He had a season-best six catches for 69 yards, including a career-long 36-yarder, at No. 4 Ohio State. He pulled in his first TD reception at Missouri on a 32-yard score and his second came on a three-yard pass against Colorado in the Big 12 Championship. He has accounted for 1,035 all-purpose yards and 13 TDs (T-No. 1 on UT's freshman list) and is averaging 7.8 yards per play.
LINEBACKERS
Linebacking unit features depth and experience: With the loss of Butkus and Bednarik Award semifinalist Aaron Harris, a trio of second-year starters in sop re Rashad Bobino, junior Robert Killebrew and junior Drew Kelson return to lead the 2006 unit, which is rated ninth-best in the nation by Lindy's. Bobino started all 13 games at weakside LB and was named first-team Freshman All-America by The Sporting News in 2005. He registered 53 tackles, six of which came in Texas' 25-22 win at No. 4 Ohio State. He had a season-high seven stops versus both Colorado and Missouri. Bobino also had seven TFL, two sacks, four pressures, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Killebrew, who is rated the No. 10 outside linebacker in the nation by Lindy's, started the last 10 games of 2005 at strongside LB and earned honorable mention All-Big 12 honors. He had 67 tackles, 10 TFL, four sacks, three PBU, 10 pressures, one forced fumble, two punt blocks and a blocked FG last season. He had 28 stops, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery in his last three games. Killebrew had his first double-figure tackle game when he notched 10 versus No. 10 Texas Tech. He blocked a pair of punts at Oklahoma State. Killebrew had 10 tackles at Texas A&M, including four TFL and two sacks, while forcing a fumble. Kelson made a smooth transition from safety to linebacker last season. He had 36 tackles, two TFL, one sack, four PBU, two forced fumbles, one recovered fumble and an INT with three starts at weakside LB. His late-game forced fumble at No. 4 Ohio State played a critical role in the Horns holding on for a 25-22 win. Kelson's INT at Texas A&M set up Texas' first score of that game. He added four tackles, a forced fumble and a PBU in the Rose Bowl against No. 1 USC. Texas also returns a number of linebackers with playing experience, including junior Scott Derry and sop re Jeremy Campbell, who saw action as a redshirt freshman last season. Two promising young players are expected to compete for action as well. Freshman Roddrick Muckelroy, a 2004 first-team all-state pick who posted 378 tackles and 33 TFLs as a prepster, spent the 2005 season redshirting. True freshman Sergio Kindle enrolled early and participated in spring drills, while fellow true freshmen Dustin Earnest, Lamarr Houston and Jared Norton will round out the unit in the fall.
