two more additions for my "shout-outs"
- Brandon Moore (82nd Airborne - Ft. Bragg) and his friendship to me and many others as he and Susan continue to minister to our soldiers in the midst of war... you're a great guy who is missed, but know that you are doing a super ministry and many prayers and thoughts are with you and Susan... Airborne, all the way!
- Oklahoma Sooners, their seniors, their coaches, and their smearing of the "other university" in the state of Oklahoma. We wiped the OsU Cowboys (OSwho?) all over the field this past Saturday. The Sooners advanced their total wins in this series to 77, with OsU having only 16. It was a great ending to what started off as a rocky season, but then we became a super competitor in the Big XII South (as always). We end the regular season ready to head into a bowl and ready to do even better next season.
Okay, I just have to pose this question to anyone who cares about college football and in particular, OsU... OsU, why do you think your football team belongs in the Big XII? I just don't get it. Your season this year is 4-7 overall, and 1-7 in the Big XII. Granted, every team has a season or two that is less than desirable. But it's time you quit trying to play college football in Div. I-A and focus on getting coach Sutton his 800th career win in basketball. Sure, you've given the Sooners a couple of upsets in the last 5 years, but hey, you deserve it and congratulations... it has only happened 16 times in the last 100 years. I will say, you gave football a great legend in Barry Sanders and you should be proud, but that was almost 20 years ago. Where are you now? Where is your program going? Three of your four wins this season came to extremely less-than-average teams. Florida Atlantic has been in the I-A bottom ten for the entire season. Montana St. is a Div. I-AA team, and Arkansas St. is from what conference? I will give you credit for your one and only win this season in the Big XII. Texas Tech is good, and you guys held them and beat them, you even gave #2 Texas a great first half. But 1-7 in the Big XII doesn't say a whole lot and it's time for you to focus on something else, like maybe dominating Div. I-AA football. So, my recommendation for you OsU, is to face this reality, when it comes to college sports in the Sooner State, you will always be known as that "other university."
Ahhhhhhh, it always feels so good to reveal the realities of the extreme heated rivalry that is OU and OsU football. To an outsider, it may look crazy, but to all of us from Oklahoma, it's BEDLAM! two more additions for my "shout-outs"
