This is a slideshow that takes a look and the possible changing attitude towards OU Sooners basketball now that the Oklahoma City Thunder have come to town.
OU Going to Miami
Should I go to Miami and see OU in the BCS National Championship game? After asking some friends, I now know what I should do.
Check out my BCS blog!
I created a blog dedicated to examining and breaking down the BCS system, as well as to take an in-depth look at college football.

4th and Inches…
I hope the 2008 election has as much excitement as the previous two. Who doesn’t want a repeat of the 2000 and 2004 elections? All that drama! It was great! It was like “The Play” in the Cal-Stanford game, or the miracle Hail Mary by Doug Flutie. You know what, wouldn’t it be great if the election was like a football game…
Start of the season, each side picks its team leader. For the Republicans, it’s a no-brainer. They go with the experienced veteran. He is seen by some as too far removed from the game, but when its time for the 2 minute drill and the game is on the line, he’ll lead you to the end zone. Example: Brett Favre.
- “The Play”
For the Democrats, they choose the talented rookie who is unproven but has tons of potential. He is flashy and outspoken, and can single-handedly carry his team to victory. Although many see his lack of experience in the big game a major issue, in the end he could rack up the yards and touchdowns, and walk away with the win. Example: Reggie Bush.
- Hail Mary
Each team goes through the long, arduous season fighting each other. The Elephants defense stiffens up on the Donkeys offense. But then Reggie breaks out an 80 yard rush for the touchdown and the lead. The Elephants come right back on the shoulders of their veteran QB Favre, march down the field with a well executed drive, and score.
Skip to the fourth quarter, the score is tied and it’s the end of regulation. Now it’s sudden-death overtime. The greatest spectacle in sport and election. Who could forget the “quarterback sneak” in the 2000 election, when the Elephants edged out the Donkeys in overtime (and then some)? And again in 2004 when the underdog Elephants came from behind to claim victory and take home the Washington Trophy.
- McCain or Obama?
In the end, it is going to come down to game plan and execution. Whichever candidate, or “player,” can execute better will win this election. Will the experience of McCain lead to a victory? Or will the unknown talent of Obama pull an upset, and get the W (or job from W.)? The time is here America. Time to vote. I guess you could say we are the coaches, calling the final play for our team. Of course, whoever wins becomes our President, for both our team and our country.

Have to love Cancun
This is a photo I took of an Island off the shore of Cancun, Mexico. This is one of the best pictures I’ve ever shot, and it was unintentional. Oh well, I love this picture, and the beach was amazing.
