It appears both Rece Davis and Brian Bennett missed the opportunity to watch the Oklahoma Sooners pummel UT-Chattanooga amidst thunder and lightning — both on the field and in the skies above it — in Norman last weekend. Had the ESPN college football prognosticators watched the nation’s fourth-ranked team as it hung 50 points on [...]

Sooners Rank Too Low in USA TODAY Coaches Poll
August 2nd, 2008 · No Comments
Big-time college football coaches across the country ranked the Oklahoma Sooners fourth in the USA TODAY Coaches’ Poll released Friday. I, for one, however, believe the Crimson and Cream’s ranking is too low. OFFENSE My optimism about the Sooners rests largely upon the fact that coach Bob Stoops will have 6′ 5″ sophomore Sam Bradford [...]

Sooners Fall to Mountaineers, 48-28, in Fiesta Bowl
January 2nd, 2008 · 1 Comment
Bob Stoops’ boys couldn’t keep pace with the wheels beneath the high-flying West Virginia Mountaineers offense. So much for my prediction of a 21-point Oklahoma Sooners win. For more about the first half, see Sooners Trail Mountaineers 20-6 at Halftime. For a third-quarter recap, see Mountaineers Lead Sooners 34-15 After Three. More than anything else, [...]

Mountaineers Lead Sooners 34-15 After Three
January 2nd, 2008 · 1 Comment
Trailing 20-6, the Oklahoma Sooners came out of the locker room as if they had something to prove, putting up nine quick points against the West Virginia Mountaineers. Seemingly unfazed, the Mountaineers answered with back-to-back touchdown drives and things started to look bleak for the boys from Norman. On the ensuing drive, quarterback Sam Bradford [...]

Sooners Trail Mountaineers 20-6 at Halftime
January 2nd, 2008 · 2 Comments
Bob Stoops’ Oklahoma Sooners blocked a West Virginia field goal attempt just before halftime, sending the Mountaineers into the locker room with a 20-6 at halftime lead. That was one of the few highlights generated by the team from Norman, Okla. Another came when Allen Patrick returned a West Virginia kickoff 73 yards, setting up [...]

Sooners Control Own Destiny After Ducks’ Fall
November 16th, 2007 · 1 Comment
Today, five months after writing and publishing a decidedly anti-Oregon Ducks post, I deliver positive news for the Oklahoma Sooners football team: The number two-ranked Ducks football team got spanked last night by the Arizona Wildcats who, by the way, are coached by Mike Stoops, brother of Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops. As a result of [...]

College Football Report Reads Like a Police Blotter
October 12th, 2007 · No Comments
Just before 3 p.m. CST today, I decided to check out the ESPN’s College Football web site — especially the Missouri at Oklahoma game (Boomer Sooner!) — and happened to glance at the ESPN News Headlines section. What I found there was read more like a police blotter than a sports highlight section. For instance: [...]
