Here in SportsNation it's all about taking sides. This team or that team. Player A or Player B. We allow you to vote, rank, comment, chat and much more to show your support. So when we talked to our good friends Kings of Leon about which sports stars they would like to be and discovered lead singer Caleb Followill and his brother Jared picked different Oklahoma Sooner football players, we decided to take it to the Nation to see which player is held in higher regard for his contributions on the field.

While you are mulling over your vote, check out the boys in action from their new DVD, "Live at the O2 London, England," singing "Be Somebody."

Caleb wants to be: Billy Sims.
Saints Sims averaged 7.6 yards per carry his junior season on his way to a school record 1,896 yards and the Heisman Trophy. He was the runner-up the following season in which he rushed for 247 yards against Nebraska's No. 1 rushing defense. He led the Sooners to two consecutive Orange Bowl titles.

Jared wants to be: Adrian Peterson.
Saints Peterson broke Sims' single-season rushing record by 29 yards his freshman year and finished second in the Heisman voting to Matt Leinart. His Sooners lost to the USC Trojans in the BCS championship game. Peterson, plagued by injuries, finished his career 73 yards short of passing Sims' career rushing mark.
