Boomer Sooner!

University of Oklahoma 47
Free Shoes University 17

What a glorious day to be a Sooner fan! I will admit, I was very nervous about this game, but we put on a show and won convincingly. Next year, Tallahassee!

Boomer Sooner!

Beat Texas!

It's going to be a long rest of the year ...

OU: 13
BYU: 14

To say that the offensive line didn't come to play would be an understatement. Their ineptitude meant that Bradford and then his backup Landry Jones, who I think everyone in Sooner Nation prayed would not hear his number called this season, spent a whole lot of time looking up at the new Dallas Jumbotron from their backs. Supposedly Bradford is out 2 to 4 weeks, which is 2 to 4 weeks too many. Fortunately we have the Idaho State Bengals next week, which just lost 50-3 to Arizona State. However, after that OU plays Tulsa with their high-powered offense, followed by a bye week, and then Miami, in Miami. After that, conference play starts with Baylor. To think that OU could finish up that stretch, before heading into the Red River Rivalry at 2-3 (or even worse 1-4) is something I don't even want to think about, but is entirely possible. Add to that the fact that OU's best offensive threat, Jermaine Gresham is out for an unknown length of time with torn cartilage in his knee, and things start looking grim. Another 12 penalty for 93 yards game won't help matters either.

Heading down the homestretch ...

... my tenure packet is due to reviewers on the 7th. That means that, since the 7th is a holiday, I really need to get it turned in by the 4th. That is the same day I have an invited presentation to a state agency. So, I'm going to be super busy again. I'll probably resume full-fledged blogging next week.

The only thing I have left to say is: Boomer Sooner!

I fully expect a total thrashing of BYU at the hands of Oklahoma this weekend.

Boomer Sooner!

The University of Oklahoma football team travels to Stoolwater this weekend to face their in-state "rival" OSWho? Typically only the OSU fans consider this "The Big Game" because to OU, the Cowboys are usually just a bunch of fumbling fools. However, this year OSU is ranked 12th, and OU trails Texass by .084 points in the BCS rankings. So, even for OU this ranks as a "Big Game". Beat OSU, hopefully handily, and OU stands to jump ahead in the BCS standings ... thereby earning themselves a trip to the Big 12 Championship to play Missouri. Beat Mizzou (which we did last year) and it's time to play for the National Championship!

I know, OU lost to Texass earlier this year. Doesn't matter. Strength of schedule, peaking at the right time, number of quality opponents ... they all favor Oklahoma. Boomer friggin Sooner!
