Sooners

Hey guys, it's been forever since the last time I blogged here.

Well, not really, it's only been over like, a month?

Okay, maybe it has been forever.

Anyway, although our 2007 football season is over, there is some leftover residue that's been haunting us for a while now: Boise State's "The Play" on Fiesta Bowl 2007.

Yes, it's that statue of Liberty the capped our lose

Yes, that thing has been replayed over and over since ESPN decided to run a show called the Greatest Highlight since last month.

Now I want it be over with. ASAP.

For a quick notice, so check it out here:

BOOMER SOONERS!

These are the list as of now:

Malcolm Kelly
Curtis Lofton
Reggie Smith
Marcus Walker

Stay tuned for more updates.

Personal note: losing MK, Lofton and Smith will leave a big dent to Stoops troops this season. I am personally disappointed, but I'm a selfish fan so... good luck for them and wish them to rip it up like AD did this year!

Media loves us sooo much! Oklahoma gets a generous #2 spot in 2008 preseason standing. It's up to Sooners whether they can live up to the expectation because I personally haven't been able to completely get rid of that bitter taste of Fiesta loss.

2. Oklahoma

With nine starters eligible to come back on offense and seven on defense, the Sooners should be favorites in the Big 12. Now, if Oklahoma just didn't have to play in a bowl game. The Sooners should be explosive on offense, even after losing 1,000-yard rusher Allen Patrick. Tailback DeMarco Murray ran for 764 yards and 13 touchdowns as a freshman, and quarterback Sam Bradford threw 36 touchdowns with only eight interceptions in his first season as a starter.

I just updated the college football preview for 2008:

Check it out.

Embarrassed, annoyed, despair, disappointment. There's so much emotion running through me last night that it took a while to regather myself before posting this blog.

Yes, OU lost AGAIN. And yes, it was another ugly rout. Losing 48-28 by West Virginia in another Fiesta Bowl after an embarrassing lost to Boise State last year. If you didn't know it by know then you are either a caveman/cavewoman or out there in Vegas or overseas. The news is everywhere and Oklahoma Sooners is the official laughing stock of college football to date.

Sorry, I couldn't resist but I can't downplay my disappointment with the Sooners that I've supported all season long just to have their faces plastered as the biggest losers in the big stage of bowl game. And the year 2008 just got started.

Not much is going on lately since Christmas aside from the returning / reselling gifts and shopping for more deals before the end of the year (I know I am). But Fiesta Bowl is lurking near next Wednesday so for the people who are making trips to Arizona to watch the game live, I wish you guys a happy, safe trip and make sure you gusy support our Sooners for all 4 quarters.

Boomer Sooners!

I gotta take a break from posting Sooners related blog but I can't stop doing it! That's what any Sooner fan would do. Right? Right?

EDIT: Now that the season is officially over last night after LSU beating OSU 38-24, it's time for football fans to look ahead into 2008 season.

How are these college football team ranked coming into fall? I also included AP polls and other predictions to give us a better picture on how they stack up against each other later this year.
