After the British American Football National meeting, schedules were finalised and handed out to teams. All game this year will be in conference and with 6 teams in our conference, it’s a straight forward home and away schedule for the Saxons this year. Unfortunately we have already being reminded how brittle this sport still is here, with […]

The Sooner Women Gymnastic Team had posted 4 scores above the 197-mark, all away from Norman this season. Posting a dominant score at home was a must, along with claming another scalp, in the form of the #21 ranked Michigan. Both targets were met as they posted a 197.225 to set a Nation’s best 5th score over […]

The trip last year was one that money can’t buy, and will probably never get repeated again (I still need to ask Kenny if he has had many random requests from Brits coming over to hook them up now!?). I have been busy the past day looking through the blog and seeing what things I […]

That was the hash tag going around before the game started #SoonerHoopsCrazy. It didn’t sound like (from twitter) that many were showing up, even for Bedlam. But, it is hard to compete with the Thunder playing the Celtics only 15 miles away. I used to love hoops, played it at high school every spare second […]

History and Tradition. That headline the SoonerSports Gymnastics pages. Gymnasts come to Oklahoma to win titles and compete for National Championships. This year is no different, and this group, with both Men’s and Women’s teams are once again leading the way, Nationally, we should be proud and getting down to support them. I know gymnastics […]

I have seen these (I don’t know what they called so I’m going with) “What I do” photos going around the internet and twitter, most of them are bang on the money. The British American Footballer one is pretty much, 100% spot on for how it is over here for us guys playing the sport […]

As you know we rescued our Dalmatian Lucie a little while back. She was very, very overweight when we got her and knew it would be a long process. It started easy, as it always does. Plenty of walks and the weight jumped off, she had more muscle tone and stamina! Unfortunately, the winter came […]

It’s finally here! Not quite Sooner Football but at least we know who and when we shall be playing. I’m sure everyone that deals with the schedule has had a rough few months with the Big XII merry-go-round of teams coming and going, which has caused some havoc for scheduling. I have heard rumblings from […]

Unfortunately its not to Oklahoma, or even the USA! We do wish tho. We have decided to have a week away in isolation in the Peak District. Booked a Cottage so that Stacie, the dog and I can just go and get away from work and all lifes stress’s and just enjoy a week away, do […]

So what’s probably the easiest way to alienate American Soccer fans from reading the blog when I post about soccer. Well it’s probably quite easy to by just mentioning LA Galaxy. Yes, I’m a huge Beckham fan so when he made the move across the pond, there was really only going to be one team to […]

Thierry Henry last year said the Salary Cap keeps the MLS behind the Leagues in Europe and the only way for it to grow, would be to lose the cap. Whilst losing the cap may bring some benefits and possibly encourage more European players to come over, and before they hit the age of 30, I […]

So it’s Super Bowl Sunday, and I decide to write about Soccer, not Football. But it has a point, and may get to Football, maybe. Growing up here in England you play soccer from a young age, and you all have your hero’s and idols, those you look up to and want to be, that goes […]

Ok, it snowed here in the UK. It doesn’t happen that often and well, the country is never prepared. Only had like 2-6 inches and already the airports are closing down and the trains are not running…. This would be a light dusting up in Pittsburgh/Wisconsin or Canada! But as you all know, our dog […]

Has it really only been 4 months since Stacie and I were riding high from our short, but action packed few days in Norman? It honestly seems like it was a year ago, maybe even 2, but much longer than 4 months. We think about it all the time, the place that was so easy […]
