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 [...]

Bob Stoops’ fifth-ranked Oklahoma Sooners delivered the #2 Texas Tech Red Raiders football program its worst defeat ever — that’s right, EVER! — a 65-21 drubbing Saturday night at The Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium in Norman.*  More importantly, however, the boys in Crimson ‘n’ Cream sent a strongly-worded message to the rest of the college [...]
