this is a great site, i check it almost daily to keep up with the in on my Bucks..., just thought I would drop that, i spread your good word to any fellow Buckeye fan...got any good links or blogs for the Sooners this week, I am curious to hear all their chatter and pre-game hype as they have a chance to go B2B Big XII Champs. They have to feel confident going into this game with a previous victory over Mizzou and getting their starting QB back after getting his bell wrung, but Daniels can carve them a new hole if they arent careful. That cat is astonishingly quick with his feet for a hefty looking fella. I used to call the Sooners Choklahoma after their bombs in the big games, see national championship game vs USC in 04, big XII title game vs. Kansas State in 03 then get handled by LSU in the "split-championship" title game a couple of weeks later in 03, heck even Boise St. got to them after they beat a weak Nebraska in the title game last year. Believe me I will be rooting for them with all my fellow brothers in BCS battle this weekend, but it does keep me on the cautious side. Has Choklahoma changed their stripes to take down a #1 TIGER?? Let's all hope so!!

Thanks for the props. I was wondering where the extra hits to my site were coming from!

Curious Factoid: When was the last time Oklahoma beat a #1 ranked team??

Thanks JTB. It will be a tough fight, but you gotta like Vegas giving the Tigers 3. Regardless, you can bet that the state of Ohio will bring some pretty incredible TV ratings for the Big 12 Championship.

Stoops is 13-4 against teams ranked in the top 10, 4-0 against Missouri and the Sooners overall are 6-5-2 against #1 ranked teams when Oklahoma is also ranked.

Unfortunately, his las matchup against a #1 ranked team was a 55-19 pasting by USC in the 2005 Orange Bowl. Every great coach has been spanked at least once.

We'll try to get some Mizzou & Oklahoma blog coverage soon, but in the meantime, this page should hold you over. (I see a lot of official university athletic department websites and the Sooners have one of the best around in terms of design, features and content).
