Colts claim Perkins off waivers

Taken in the fourth round by the Cleveland Browns 2 yrs ago, Antonio Perkins has decent size and speed. He left Oklahoma with 125 career tackles, 11 interceptions, 2 fumble recoveries and a sack. He registered one of the most spectacular individual performances in NCAA history by returning 3 punts for TDs against UCLA and returning 8 in his career, both NCAA records.

Perkins has never returned a punt in the NFL, but has collected 3 kickoffs, averaging 27½ yards.


This is hard for me to type, but I think I like Oklahoma U.

"But SchrockStar, I thought you only rooted for the home team?"

Tis true, but did you know there are over 30 Sooners in the NFL today? I bet you couldn't list more than Tommy Harris, Adrian Peterson and Roy Williams. They produce solid athletes with good character... and they also wear Crimson & Cream. Akin to the Irish/Hoosiers/Colts: the Sooners always abide by the rules and still win championships with class. Oh yeah, they also gave us 2-time CoY Kelvin Sampson. (I'd complain about the probation he brought, but I don't think it affected us.)
If I find it hard to tune into NBC on Saturdays this fall, I'll find myself tuning to FoxSports Sooner or later. You see what I did there? Zing.
