December 7th, 2008 · 4 Comments
Thankfully, Al Franken will have nothing to do with counting Heisman Trophy ballots. If, however, record-setting Oklahoma Sooners quarterback Sam Bradford isn’t named the winner of college football’s Heisman Trophy Dec. 13 in New York City, the joke is likely to be on voters. In Saturday night’s Big 12 Championship at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas [...]

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.
