Daniel's Bio

Although I was born and lived my early years in SEC Country, most of my life so far has been spent in the Big 8/Big 12 region. I grew up immersed in the Big 12 North, and became a Missouri fan during that time, even though Kansas State and Nebraska were the superior teams in those years. Then I went to the University of Oklahoma to study meteorology, but the football was a bonus! During that time, I was able to see a football culture that simply doesn't exist in the North division (save Nebraska). I already liked college football, but after assimilating into a region that practically worships their teams, I am officially hooked. I am fortunate to be working in meteorology in Sooner Nation. I love it!

I am definitely not a journalist or well-read in the histories of sport. As a result, you probably won't see very many articles by me. I want to keep this site as legitimate as I can, so I will keep my stuff on my blogspot. But rest assured, I love talking to people about sports, especially on the collegiate competition level.

    Big 12 is where my allegiance lies.

    No, you're right. He came in after Potts' concussion but then he outperformed Potts and took his job.

    Tech's score with Potts with 1 min left in 2nd qtr against New Mex: 7

    Sheffield comes in and Tech's score at the end of the game: 48.

    Next 2 games Sheffield played were against KSU and Neb which ended in 52 and 21 point victories respectively.

    See what I mean?

    Anyway, you're right about A&M. I saw some of that game... A&M actually had more yards than Arkansas! They didn't convert those yards into points. Should be a tricky game.

    Our next game is next weekend, not this. This weekend is off.

    2nd string? you mean Sheffield? I thought you already knew... he's out for the season.

    He was our best QB. He was promoted from 2nd string to starter but he suffered a season-ending ankle injury against Nebraska.

    The game against A&M might've been a bit different had he started. But man... A&M's good... the Sooners better be ready for Nov 14. Nov 7 won't be a prob though. I guarantee it.

    Well, you were right. At 30-35, it WAS kinda scary but here we are at 64-2 :-)

    Nice relaxing bye week for us to heal our injuries.

    So whats your take on the Huskers?

    Hah! In Norman? U're kidding, right?

    Respect the 63-2 since 1999.

    Daniel, there should be a Hide tab at the top of those Barely Sports ads that you can click on and it deletes them.

    See what I mean? We didn't lose by 30 or 40 but we did lose by 22 to a team we were supposed to beat by 22. Its an annual Tech tradition.

    Now either we had an off day or the Aggies are really that good. If the latter is true, then aTm is no longer a gimme for OU at Owen field. Texas also better watchout... their last trip to College Stn was a loss.

    Now I guess its us that go to the independence bowl. BTW, 35-10 was my prediction... final score 35-13... so pretty close.

    Boomer Sooner!

    You're right.. if looked at objectively, I see KU, KSU and aTm as gimmes and @Neb, @TTU and OSU as tough ones.

    I just said the bowl might be better than independence bowl coz I'm so used to seeing the Sooners in upper-level bowls. I didn't realize how half the season has passed and OU is 3-3 with 3 more tough games to go. Well lets hope for the best. I have the Sooners as one of my fav teams listed on my profile. My hatred is reserved only for the Horns and the Aggies. So I still wish the Sooners the best except one particular game ;-)

    Also, we haven't won at Stillwater since 2001 so u better believe I wasn't being sarcastic. Also, its obligatory for Texas Tech to drop one away game by like 30 or 40 points every year and we haven't had that game this year so.... just keepin my fingers crossed.

    Doing good. I'm going to get back to writing pretty soon here. I am waiting on B/R to give me he option to remove the "Barely Sports" promo's from my article page as I don't want to be connected with such.

    I hope the best for Bradford. He is a class person. An excellent QB, but an even better person.

    Oh yeah.. Forgot to add.

    We've just one true road game remaining and its at OSU. You're right.. we might lose that one.

  12. RedRaider Red by RedRaider

    Oh puh-lease. I doubt the Sooner D will allow more than a touchdown. I'm not sure about ya'lls offense but sometime along the road they're bound to find rhythm and the defense was never out of rhythm in the first place.

    So... OU 35, KU 10 is my prediction. I understand that Mangino used to be on Stoop's staff less than a decade ago but I still think OU rolls.

    And I think for sure that the Sooners get a bowl better than independence. Good luck.

    Daniel, thanks for dropping by and commenting on the heads-up about Cameon. I hope all is well with you my friend!

    Thanks... we gave the blackshirts, black eyes lol.

    I disagree though. I really thot the Sooners were capable of winning that game. They missed 2 INTs (1 sure pick six and another potential pick-six), Sammy wud not have thrown 2 INTs. Too many fumbles.

    I think the UT defense matched the OU defense but the OU offense was better than the Horn offense.

    I still think the Sooners gifted the game away.

    Good luck against Kansas this week.

    Question: How do you lose to a clearly inferior team?

    Answer: You wrap the game nicely in a box with decorative paper and gift it.

    Were the Sooners paid to lose or what? I mean, I'm sorry but 3L is 3L. Doesn't matter if your potential is more or if your losses are by a combined 5 points.

    And believe me..this is not trash talk but ya'll need 4 more wins for a winning (.500 plus) season with @Kansas, @Neb, @Tech and OSU to go. KSU and aTm might be wins but..... just sayin.
