Four questions on OU football
0 minutes ago
Two coaches saved Oklahoma in the BCS by giving the Sooners first-place votes in the coaches poll. That helped OU stay ahead of Texas in the coaches poll by a single point. Who were these two coaches?Because the votes are kept secret until the final ballots are submitted next Sunday, we may never know. But here’s a guess: Texas Tech’s Mike Leach and Nebraska’s Bo Pelini, two former assistants under Bob Stoops who were blown out by the Sooners this season and had votes in the coaches poll. Leach said after his team’s 65-21 loss to OU that he would vote the Sooners ahead of Texas.Another possibility is South Carolina’s Steve Spurrier, who was the head coach at Florida when Stoops was the

OU Sooners bask in the glow of more BCS love
0 minutes ago
Oklahoma fans are like most college football fans. They loved to bash the BCS. The Bowl Championship Series is the biggest punching bag in sports. But Sooner fans should have a soft spot in their part for the system that for 10 years has picked the teams for big-time football?s two-team championship game. The BCS has been very, very good to Oklahoma. The BCS on Sunday broke the three-way tie among OU, Texas Tech and Texas for the Big 12 South Division title. The Sooners are ranked No. 2 in the BCS, ahead of No. 3 Texas and No. 7 Tech, so OU will play Missouri on Saturday night in Kansas City, Mo., for the Big 12 title. OU coach Bob Stoops said he woke up Sunday morning with a ?knot in my stomach. I had to remind myself we won last

Time for Sooner fans, nerds to hug it out
0 minutes ago
Have you hugged a nerd today? Well, Sooner fans, you need to. Because without those computer jockeys, your favorite team would be spending the weekend doing its Christmas shopping instead of dancing the cha-cha with Missouri on the way to the national title game. Yep, all those guys who spent summer at computer camp learning Fortran instead of out-routes and defensive formations are the MVPs of this season?s BCS race.

OU football notebook: Bradford has torn ligaments in left hand
0 minutes ago
Bradford has torn ligaments in left hand Quarterback Sam Bradford has torn ligaments in the thumb of his non-throwing hand and will have surgery after the Big 12 Championship game, coach Bob Stoops said Sunday. Bradford suffered the injury on OU’s third series of Saturday’s game at Oklahoma State. That forced the Sooner offense to operate primarily out of the shotgun the rest of the game. Stoops said Bradford will wear a soft cast in the Big 12 title game against Missouri. The surgery shouldn’t preclude him from playing in OU’s bowl game.Bradford’s play didn’t seem to be affected by the injury against OSU. He completed 30 of 44 passes for 370 yards and four TDs in OU’s 61-41

Politicking doesn’t save Texas in BCS standings
0 minutes ago
NORMAN — Last week, BCS independent analyst Jerry Palm gave Oklahoma a "90 percent” chance of passing Texas in the BCS rankings with a win over Oklahoma State.Palm, however, didn’t factor in the University of Texas temporarily organizing into a political machine that could’ve toppled the Democratic Party. Texas’ campaign, spearheaded by coach Mack Brown, to remind BCS voters about the Longhorns’ 45-35 victory over OU on Oct. 11 and sway voter opinion worked to perfection. Even though OU beat the No. 12-ranked Cowboys by 20 points in Stillwater, the human polls inexplicably punished the Sooners while rewarding Texas for defeating the worst team in the Big 12 at home.

NORMAN ? Last week, BCS independent analyst Jerry Palm gave Oklahoma a ?90 percent? chance of passing Texas in the BCS rankings with a win over Oklahoma State.

Brown releases statement "I’m really disappointed for our kids that two teams we beat this season will be playing for the Big 12 Championship.
