It’s that time of year again where crazy plans (last year is included in that) start to be planned, ideas get into the head that way exceed what the wallet can realistically cope with, but that’s the fun in planning these trips right? I had the most amazing week of my life revolving around Sooner football last… [Read more…]
With all the changes in the conference the last few seasons, I think this years schedule is one to look forward and savor for a while to come. For years we pretty much know the conference opponents we are going to face 4 or 5 years in advanced, with out of conference games usually scheduled just as far in front.… [Read more…]
With the 80th pick, the Arizona Cardinals draft Oklahoma Sooner Cornerback Jamell Fleming. I believe Fleming was a 2nd round talent, so will have that chip on his shoulder to keep proving that he should have been taken higher. Fleming is a shut down corner who also steps it up in the run game and… [Read more…]
Congratulations Detroit Lions Fans, with the 54th pick you have selected Ryan Broyles from the Oklahoma Sooners. You have got yourself the steal of the draft right here. He is a 1st round player and talent! After setting the NCAA record for receptions at 349, he was set to move this closer to 400 before tearing his… [Read more…]
I love the idea behind the draft, I love the new rookie salary cap in the draft, and with a little bit of sadness, I love OUr Sooners going to the draft. I don’t think many of us will ever forget the 2012 NFL Draft, I think that one will go down in Sooner History… [Read more…]
Well after I posted photos up of my new ride on Facebook, all my Sooner friends seemed to thing the only reason I bought the car was because it was Sooner colored! If that was the case I really must bleed Crimson! I would be lying if that didn’t help, but was by no means… [Read more…]
The #5 ranked Alabama Crimson Tide Gymnastics rolled into Norman undefeated and they weren’t looking to go home any other way as Defending National Champions. They were also coming back to “right the wrongs” of the last visit to Norman, when the then #1 Bama lost to the Sooners. The Sooners were coming off a season high score… [Read more…]
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… [Read more…]
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… [Read more…]
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… [Read more…]
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… [Read more…]
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… [Read more…]
The blog has digressed from just Sooner related, but it’s good to talk. I did need to do another Sooner Blog so what better thing to talk about than the Sooner Women’s Gymnastics team along with Bart Conner and Nadia Comaneci… A ‘Perfect’ match! If you didn’t already know, we love the Sooner Gymnasts from our visit. Everyone… [Read more…]
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… [Read more…]
So, that was the madness that was National Signing Day. I will be honest with you, it’s not something I have ever really watched or being that interested in before, but as I try and fill the off-season and recruitment (with all the coaching changes) was a big mystery filled with many changes in the… [Read more…]
After starting the season on a high, winning vs Kentucky, Bowling Green and Wisconsin-Oshkosh in the opening meet of the season, the Sooners lost at Oregon State. The true test of any team is not how they cope with success and when they are winning, as you do not come to Oklahoma to not win. That… [Read more…]
