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…]

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… [Read more…]

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… [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…]

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… [Read more…]

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… [Read more…]

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… [Read more…]

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… [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…]

Stacie and I had some huge disappointment a few months ago when we were not fortunate in getting any tickets for the Gymnastics, or anything else in the Olympics ballot. We had put in for about $4,000 worth of tickets, ranging from Athletics, Handball, Basketball, Equestrian, Volleyball, Tennis and Gymnastics. If we had known this… [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…]

After hearing rumours that the Rams would be coming across to play the Jets, only half the rumour turned out to be true. I almost posted last night but well, If it turned out to be two totally different teams, that would have been two blog posts I would have been massively wrong on, and… [Read more…]
