Whew.....

That was a close one. We were stupid enough to leave when we were up by 8 with 2 min. to go. We did however make it back into the stadium to watch the two overtimes. What a game.

Nebraska is going to present a huge challenge. However, with the progress we are making I am optimistic.

OU 24-21

Baylor

Sorry I haven't been keeping up on the posting lately. I got really busy when I was in KC. The game was great after the first half. We just can't seem to get that offense together. There were some good things happening in the second half. I am going to the Baylor game Saturday night, so I hope that the improvements will continue and that we will win!!!

Live from KC... Friday Night

I made it in early this morning. I love it when a business trip falls right into place for me to have to see the Sooners play on the road. It seems like all the OU Fans must have left later then me, as I have slowly begun to see more and more as the day progresses.

The question is will we beat a bad Kansas team. I think we will and I hope we can do it convincingly. There are a lot of unanswered questions. Will the line make any improvement? Will Rhett Bomar live up to the billing. Will Jerry Bomar open his mouth again?...lol.. Will Paul Thompson make a good receiver? Will anyone in the secondary step up and play decent? This week is pivotal. Let's see if any of those questions get answered.

This is my first time in KC. I think it is a nice town, overall. We ate in Country Club Plaza at a place called Brio. They have the best lasagna that has ever touched my lips.

Okay we lost... Crap... No excuses

Depression setting in on the Sooner Nation after our first loss to the shorthorns in the last six years. However, I was reading the boards and came across this story posted by gyokie. Pretty funny stuff.

In a school just outside Houston, a first grade teacher explained
to her class that she is a Longhorn Fan. She asked her students to
raise hands if they are Longhorn fans too. Not really knowing what a
Longhorn fan is, but wanting to be liked by their teacher, their
hands all fly into the air.

However, there is one exception. A little boy named Timmy has not
gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks him why he has decided to
be different.

"Because I am not a Longhorn fan." says Timmy.

"Then," asks the teacher, "what are you?"

Timmy says "I am a proud Oklahoma Sooners fan!"

The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red.

She asks Timmy why he is a Sooners fan.

"Well, my Mom and Dad are Sooner fans so I'm a Sooner fan, too,"
Timmy responds.

The teacher is now angry. "That's no reason," she says loudly.

"What if your Mom was a moron, and your dad was an idiot?

Timmy smiled and said, "Then I'd be a Longhorns Fan."

Red River Shootout: The Eve

OU 24
TX 21

I love being the underdog. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain. However, Texas has everything to lose and everything to gain. So that said this should be a true shootout. I think that the Sooner Defense will hold the run focused Texas offense in check. The big question is how does Rhett Bomar react to the atmosphere in Big D. If Rhett can settle down quick enough and play like he knows he can we should be able to put some good drives together.

Look for some sweet play calling by both teams. I expect to see the reverse again, as well as the double screen pass… Bomar to Thompson to Wilson.

I have never been into message boards much, but I like this one and have been posting quite a bit.

Here are some Fark's I found funny!

Red River Shootout: Wednesday

Bye Bye Dallas?

Will this be the last year in the Cotton Bowl? I hear the AD from Texas talking on the Sports Animal and he sounded like he was ready to move the game to a home and home series. IMO there is something great about the game in Dallas, to lose it would be a big loss. We are talking about 100 years of this game. Come on Dallas step up and fix that Cotton Bowl up.

Red River Shootout: Tuesday

Hopefully Optimistic!

Let us not forget that until Mack and the shorthorns beat us we still have the bragging rights. I will grant you that this is the best chance that Brown has and will have in a while, but there is something to say for the way that Stoops has Mack by the balls. You never know what is going to happen in the Cotton Bowl, so buckle up and get ready for a ride. If for some reason we do leave Dallas with less than a victory… then and only then will I give it up to Texas.

The world shall not come to an end...

No the sky is not falling Sooner fans!

If you watched the same game I did on Saturday evening, then you will have witnessed the light at the end of the tunnel as well. After a rocky start to the season, the Sooners are starting to mesh together and become a team right before our eyes. Rhett Bomar continued to be successful, and most importantly he protected the ball. Unfortunately Saturday Night's game did bring another injury to Adrian Peterson. Coach Stoops says he thinks AD will be fine and should play on Saturday in the Red River Shootout. Look for more rants on the RRS later in the week.
