It’s a shame you can’t be respected and play in the same conference as Montana State, Florida Atlantic, and Arkansas State. It’s also a shame when you make adjustments to your offense that make you better against UCLA and Kansas State than you did against TCU and Tulsa, then you can’t go back and play those two again.

Tulsa at Oklahoma (11:30 am, Fox Sports Net)- Oklahoma will come out firing like many teams during the Stoops Era have when they feel there is something to prove. The Sooners will score a lot early, lead somewhere around 21 or 24 to zero after the first 20 minutes, then sputter until the fourth quarter.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it’s back. The reason God made pigs has returned with as many storylines as it has had in years. Can Matt Leinart win back-to-back Heisman Trophies? Can USC make it three in a row for the first time in history? Will Oklahoma fade out of the national picture forever after the Orange Bowl debacle? Are Vince Young and Texas all they are cracked up to be? Does Steve Spurrier still have “it� The answers are this: No, No, No, No, and YES!

The discussion started immediately after last football season in both Stillwater and Norman. Sooner fans and Cowboy fans alike have debated over the past seven or eight months about who would quarterback their respected clubs when the 2005 seasons kickoff in September.
