Maybe for non-whites to use, but since I am white, I can use it.

But you did follow Oklahoma, so I digress.....you know droughts, too.

we invented the drought. Every single week Brent Musberger said, "Wow, folks. These sure aren't your father's Sooners." That is, until they stopped televising our games altogether. I think that was right around the time we dropped a game to a mid-major from Utah.

Trust me, I'm enjoying every minute. I thought SC's day as a national power were truly a thing of the past. Did you ever get that feeling at OU?

I've enjoyed watching BYU's revival; I know what that journey is like and I hope the Cougs enjoy the ride.

If any of you within earshot have ever been in rural Oklahoma, you would be filling up the urine bombs right now, just on the possibility that your school might schedule OU sometime in the next 10 years. White trash in Oklahoma actually give the white trash in other states a bad name. Mobile homes and confederate flags everywhere.

I have never once in my life seen a confederate flag in Oklahoma. Trailers, yes. Trailers aplenty. Derelict old vehicles on concrete blocks? yes. Broken appliances on the front porch? check. Confederate flags? That's more of an Arkansas thing.

We went through 4 football coaches just in my undergraduate career. It was a foregone conclusion that football was a thing of the past. There was even a brief attempt to make Oklahoma into an institution of higher learning. Fortunately, Stoops was hired before anybody got too carried away.

With Keyshawn, there was some glimmer of hope.

But the year SC lost to TCU in the Sun Bowl with Petros as our best player.....yikes....things looked grim.

Utah's starting D line that averages 255 pounds will definitely be tested next Thursday. OSU's O line did a pretty good job against and incredible USC D Line tonight.
