This humble Sooner fan say's...congratulations to the Florida Gators, Utah, USC and the Texas Longhorns. Everyone ended up where they belong...ahead of the Sooners after the NC loss. I have no problems.

Well, actually I do but it is more with OU coaching staff than with anyone else. I said it last year and I'll say it again. Why does the game plan always seem to change in bowl games from what got them there. Three straight off tackle running plays from the 1 yard line. The same freakin' play and formation? With Jermaine Gresham and the Heisman Trophy winning QB (And I couldn't care less about hearing your differing opinions on that) on the field. Take the ball out of the hands of the guys who made it work for you all year? Are you freakin' kiddin' me? Leaving 14 points on the field from the red zone was killer against Florida.

And when Tebow realized OU hadn't taken control of the game...he did! I like to give credit where credit is due. If he is not the best college football player I have ever seen in person...he is damn well one of 'em! And Venables didn't have an answer for the 5th year in a row. The Sooner D looked like it had never seen that shovel pass in all of the film thay watched. NO ANSWER. And I can't help but think that there has to be an answer for Tebow when he starts to run...every other down! NOPE! Alas...it wasn't the Sooner D that let us down. The offense disappeared. To some extent credit Florida's D. I was there and the only yards after the catch I remember an OU receiver getting was on Gresham's second TD catch. Manny Johnson's hands disappeared and Juaquin Iglesias was non-existent. Of course, Duke Robinson acting like a one man "call a penalty on me" machine didn't help! All-Americans don't play that undisciplined on this big a stage. We went to a restaraunt after the game and found a couple of tables of Sooner faithful who were all grumbling the same things. Oh, well...it is what it is! And now we wait until next year. And probably longer than that if Bradford goes and with the graduation of the entire offensive line.

And I'm outta here! I have way too much going on with the job and coaching to do much of this blogging right now. And the constant bickering on this site has me a bit burned out. I just spent 3 days in the sun of South Florida with my dad and my sister and despite the outcome of the game...I had a blast. But now it is on to business. Reverend Rhythm...congrats and it is too bad we didn't hook up. The coeds in the blue nd orange sundresses were an added pleasure but, alas, not enough.

And that's the bottom line...

BOOMER SOONER!!!
