STILLWATER, Okla. - Record-setting Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden, the reigning All-Big 12 first-team signal-caller, took 40 minutes Thursday afternoon to host a social media chat with fans on Twitter using the official account of he and Biletnikoff Award-winning teammate Justin Blackmon, @Weeden2Blackmon. The transcript:
@Weeden2Blackmon Hey it's Brandon. I'm ready to get started. Make sure you include #W2BChat to all of your questions. Let's get going!
@ThirdEyeMystic what have you improved on since last season?
@Weeden2Blackmon I feel like I have improved on my footwork as well as my decision-making which includes reading defenses.
@jjones6993 Would you rather attend the super bowl or The Masters? Which would you rather win?
@Weeden2Blackmon I have been to the Masters so I would choose the Super Bowl. I would also rather win the Super Bowl. Disneyland baby!
@TheDewsie How are you feeling about the offense, also how is the thumb?
@Weeden2Blackmon The offense is looking good. We have had a good first week but still have a long ways to go. The thumb is great!
@BrianBuschelman if you could throw to any all-time great WR, who would you choose?
@Weeden2Blackmon I would say Jerry Rice. I feel like he is the best of all time!
@SilasJStewart Brandon, Who do you have in the PGA this week? What do you think of Rickie Fowler's chances?
@Weeden2Blackmon Good question. I think Rickie is playing really well right now. I would like to see him make a push and take it home.
@hornickj how much has the offense changed with the new OC? Will it be a balanced offense?
@Weeden2Blackmon It hasn't changed much. Were still gonna move fast and throw the ball. But we have good backs so we're gonna stay balanced
@jjones6993 What was your favorite play of the 2010 season?
@Weeden2Blackmon Probably Dan Bailey's field goal to beat A&M! Clutch!
@Terrell_James Who is the best offensive/defensive player nobody is talking about?
@Weeden2Blackmon I'm gonna go with Justin Gilbert. He has made huge strides over the last year going up against Blackmon. Great player!
@jack_hammer2000 how hard was the transition from pro baseball to college football
@Weeden2Blackmon Pretty easy. I threw the football every off-season so it came back pretty easy. Plus being on scout team helped.
@Lewis4osu would you join the OSU Coaching Staff if you had the opportunity? After your NFL career, that is
@Weeden2Blackmon I would think long and hard about it. I would definitely be interested if they gave me the opportunity.
@jack_hammer2000 if you could pick a pro football team to play for who would it be and why?
@Weeden2Blackmon Anyone who gives me an opportunity. Grew up a Peyton Manning fan so the Colts would be cool to learn from him.
@kwilliamsyo What will the pre-game jams be for @Weeden2Blackmon?
@Weeden2Blackmon For me it will be some country. I like to stay even keel
@ThirdEyeMystic will the offense reflect Monken's NFL experience? More snaps under center? Better for draft stock?
@Weeden2Blackmon Still working around that. Whatever he wants to do and makes us get in the Endzone I'm good with.
@jack_hammer2000 who do you think the best NFL QB is right now
@Weeden2Blackmon I think right now it is Aaron Rodgers. Won a Super Bowl and has by far the best celebration in the NFL "the belt"!
@Terrell_James Should Kye Staley be given the ball, first play of game 1?
@Weeden2Blackmon I would be all for it. What a great story that is. Guy is a competitor and love having him on my side
@Gyrene0844 Through these first practices how does the defensive line look to you compared to last year?
@Weeden2Blackmon A lot better. They are doing a good job of rushing the passer and getting push up the middle. Still working though!
@LeeT2000 My 9-yr old son is such a fan. So impressed with both careers. Word of advice in seeking college and pro careers?
@Weeden2Blackmon Have fun when you're young and enjoy it and everything happens for a reason. Keep working hard to be the best!
@CyleMoore Hey Brandon, other than football and baseball what is your favorite sport to watch and play?
@Weeden2Blackmon Without a doubt, golf. I wish I would've played when I was younger.
@JJ_LIKE_A_BOSS What do you think about RB Herschel Sims?
@Weeden2Blackmon He looks like he has chance to be really good. Smart guy who loves to play football. Will get a shot this year!
@jack_hammer2000 how fun is it airing it out to Biletnikoff award winner Justin Blackmon??
@Weeden2Blackmon It's a blast. He is pretty good at what he does.
@Weeden2Blackmon I've got time for 3 or 4 more questions...
@kwilliamsyo Would you rather always know what the D was going to run or meet Miranda Lambert and have her name a song after @Weeden2Blackmon?
@Weeden2Blackmon I'll go with always knowing what the D is doing. Carrie Underwood diff story! Total babe!
@ajdriggs Do you guys get to pick what uniform combos you are wearing each game?
@Weeden2Blackmon I wish I could tell ya. Just trust me, we'll look good!!!
@JJ_LIKE_A_BOSS Why do u think it didn't work out in baseball?
@Weeden2Blackmon I wasn't good enough and my shoulder wouldn't have made it
@danajeanreinsch how do u rank Joseph Randle to the past like Kendall Hunter, Tatum Bell and Barry Sanders?
@Weeden2Blackmon Has a chance to be in the same category but he will get it done a little differently. Guy is good!
@mbouski with exception 2 all of them what away game does the team need the cowboy nation at most?
@Weeden2Blackmon If I could choose one I would say A&M. Tough opponent in a tough atmosphere
@burris2 Why did you choose to wear 3 or was it just random?
@Weeden2Blackmon I have worn it since I was 3 years old and started playing sports. Originally cause I was chubby and wanted to hit home runs like Babe Ruth!
@yankeesrockey How do you think you and Blackmon will do in the Heisman Race?? Are you guys up for #bedlam ??
@Weeden2Blackmon Hopefully one of us gets a chance to go to NY that means we had a great year as a team and won a lot of games!
@Weeden2Blackmon Thank you guys so much for the questions! I enjoyed it. Hopefully we can do it again soon! Go Pokes!!
