The Oklahoma Sooners and Oregon Ducks played a classic today in Eugene. Unfortunately, it will go down forever as one of the biggest officiating debacles in the history of Oklahoma football. In a game that had tremendous swings both ways, the Sooners took control of the game in the fourth quarter and built a 33-20 lead with about six minutes remaining.

In the much anticipated 2006 season opener, the Oklahoma Sooners looked better in some areas than expected and looked below potential in others.
With much of the focus this spring on the loss of last year’s starting quarterback Rhett Bomar, many college football experts expected the Sooners offense to be the biggest question mark. Most experts agreed that the Sooners would have one of the nation’s best defensive units.

In a season of firsts for Bob Stoops he finally got to enjoy one on Saturday. Oklahoma had not won in Lincoln since 1987 and there is not a soul before this season who believed that streak would come to an end the weak after the Sooners needed double overtime to beat Baylor…in Norman. Stoops, who lost in September for the first time in his Sooner career and lost a season opener for the first time since his days with Bill Snyder in Manhattan, won in Lincoln for the first time as a head coach. Though as much wasn’t on the line, it was almost as good a game as the one he lost there in 2001.

Know what the most entertaining, exciting aspect of sports is? Overreacting. There’s nothing like it! Acting like the world has come to an end after a sub-par half of a season is what makes it worth watching. Remember when Bob Stoops was the class of college football and everyone thought he was invincible? Obviously he’s not now, these last seven games are probably a much better example of his ability than the first 78 of his regime.

The clock was ticking below 30 seconds in the first half when Vince Young took the snap and rolled to his left, stopped and popped the pass for a 64 yard touchdown to Billy Pittman. Game over. Series turned. Demons exercised. From the end of the half back in 2002 when Mack’s boys downed the ball at midfield to go to half to now, when they went for the jugular and struck. The wind was taken out of the collective sails of Sooner fans, players, and coaches and the swagger was transferred from one sideline to the other.

In a statement released this evening Bob Stoops has announced that Oklahoma has decided to forego this weekend’s matchup with Texas and stay home to play Norman High School. Stoops declared his team’s wishes to stay away from the big stage where they have failed so often lately and not be embarrassed by the best college football team of all time, the 2005 Texas Longhorns. Brent Venables suggested to Stoops to not play the game after failing to come up with a gameplan to stop Superman in Burnt Orange, Vince Young.

Welcome to the freak show. Our relatives of yesteryear used that term to describe the fairs and carnivals that inhabited their towns with such attractions as the “bearded lady†and “turtle boyâ€. Our fairs are just a bit different now, there are no tents with half-man, half-beast. The closest thing you’ll get to that is Adrian Peterson or Vince Young, freaks yes, but these freaks play on the Texas State Fair’s grandest stage, the Cotton Bowl.
