Oklahoma City Thunder Defense is Leading the Western Conference

In the high-flying Western Conference, where 10 teams are averaging over 100 points a game, only one team is holding their opponents under 90. No, not the Spurs; the upstart Oklahoma City Thunder...

Bob Stoops, Landry Jones, Oklahoma Sooners Hit New Lows

Defense may win championships, but winning any game is tough when asked to do it all alone. The Oklahoma defense is championship caliber and did everything it could Saturday...

Disband the NCAA: Dez Bryant Ruling Reminds Us All What We Already Know

Dez Bryant needs to raid Brian Bozworth's closet. The Boz has one shirt that goes perfect with what Bryant is wearing, an unjust one-year suspension from college football for lying about NOT breaking a rule...

Sam Bradford's Heisman Should Actually Be Upside Down

For those of you unfamiliar with the OU policy. If you win the Heisman, you get a statue, where you spend eternity looking at Sims Afro, Steve Owen's jaw line, Billy Vessels' signature stride and Jason White's pocket presence...

Sam Bradford's Struggles with Big Decisions Should Inspire Us All

Right now, there are countless articles being written by both professionals and amateurs on why Sam Bradford should have taken the money last year and why he should do it again this year...

Seven Losses Is a Real Possibility for the Oklahoma Sooners

It seems weird to mention this because with a few less injuries and a few more good breaks, OU could very well be undefeated and one of the top-ranked teams in the nation...

Sixty Years Ago, Everyone Ran The Wildcat

"Outlined against a blue-gray October sky, the Four Horsemen rode again. In dramatic lore their names are Death, Destruction, Pestilence, and Famine. But those are aliases. Their real names are: Stuhldreher, Crowley, Miller, and Layden...

Bleacher Creatures Debate the Red River Rivalry: Both Teams Have Issues

This week, I will be debating the Red River Rivalry with Texas Featured Columnist Dino. Today, we debate which team has more problems going into the game. There is little doubt both teams have been less than expected to this point in the season...

Red River Rivalry Loses Some Of Its Luster; None Of Its Blood-lust.

Unless you are blinded by your fan hood, it's easy to see that Oklahoma and Texas have lost a step this year. For OU, they are who we thought they would be; a team that has had struggles replacing the offensive line and receivers they lost last year...

Big 12 Football: Week Five in Review

Five Big 12 teams did not play this week: Oklahoma State, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas, and Missouri. Of the teams that played, it was another bad week for the conference which continues to look like ...

Injuries Aside, The Sooners Have Major Issues

Sooner apologists will tell you the injuries are the problem, their point is not without merit. Bradford, Gresham, and even Broyles probably do get a few extra points to turn a couple of one-point losses into victories and a 4-0 start...

Oklahoma Sooners Look to Reclaim Miami As Second Home

There was the tough loss to Florida last year and the embarrassing loss to USC to end the 2004 season, but before that, Miami has been home away from home for Oklahoma...

Sooners to Start Landry Jones: Ends Heisman Chances of Sam Bradford

Sam Bradford's Heisman campaign probably ended in Dallas on Sept. 5, when he returned from halftime without a uniform. But last year his numbers were so gaudy it would take almost anyone another two-and-a-half games to match them...

Miami Goes from Big Game to Trap Game for the Oklahoma Sooners

It had all the makings of historic heavyweight slugfest. Two proud schools with a ton of history reviving a rivalry that was one of the most intense during the historic rise of the Miami Hurricanes during the '80s...

As Week Four Begins, BCS Championship Is Wide Open

Texas struggles mightily against Wyoming and Texas Tech. Florida has all it can handle at home against a Tennessee team that already had a blemish. USC doesn't look the same against Ohio State and then loses to Washington...

Landry Jones Ensuring That Oklahoma's Long Line of Quality QBs Will Continue

Josh Heupel came and rewrote almost all the passing records. His feat was small as Oklahoma had long been a power running team prior to his arrival...

Mid-Majors Making Major Statements Against The Big 12

Note to Big 12, think twice before you schedule any more teams that fancy themselves the Cougars. A week after soundly defeating Georgia from the mighty SEC, the high-flying Cowboys were shot down in a dog-fight with the Houston Cougars...

Sooners' Coaching Staff Lied About Offensive Line.

It's understood a coaching staff has to say things to give their team confidence and that they can't throw their team or players under the bus to the media, but the coaches for OU made some statements about the Line that were flat out lies...

Landry Jones may be a better fit behind Green Sooners' Line

While Landry Jones has no skins on the wall and is in no way a better QB than Sam Bradford, his scrambling ability may serve him well behind a line that has not lived up to the preseason hype...

As North Improves, Big 12 Gets Six into the Latest AP Poll.

It was supposed to be a down year for Missouri; they lost too much on offense to compete with that defense. Well, both sides of the ball showed up to drub the Illini and move Missouri into the top 25...

Sam Bradford Goes Down and So Do the Oklahoma Sooners

The biggest question for the Oklahoma Sooners coming into this year was the offensive line. Replacing four on the line is always a challenge and the new line was definitely a huge issue for the Sooners...

Oklahoma State Out D's SEC Power

Watch out Sooners, watch out Longhorns, the Oklahoma State Cowboys are bringing someone new to the party this season and it is not Boone Pickens. It is new defensive coordinator Bill Young and what looks like a formidable defense...
