Nearly 20 years have passed since the attacks on September 11th, 2001. For any of us who lived through that day, we’ll think back on where we were, what we did, what we saw. The images I see are of an undergrad who lived right across from Memorial Stadium, going to class for a few minutes in the morning, then heading back home to spend the rest of the day watching the scenes playing over and over on television. Many more images make up my memories on that day, and maybe I’ll write them all down some time. Another memory…
It is finally game week for the Sooners! First up for the 2020 season is the Missouri State Bears. This game was originally scheduled to take place last Saturday, on September 5th. It was then moved a week earlier to August 29th, then finally rescheduled for this Saturday, September 12th. Whew. All this of course, was due to COVID.

OU’s non-conference slate was pretty exciting this year pre-COVID, with Tennessee coming…

Even though it happened like 8 months ago, in what is sure to be breaking news for most of us, Bobby Petrino (yes) is apparently Missouri State’s head coach (I know, right?). Tulsa World’s Eric Bailey indirectly brought this news to our attention while reporting on the Petrino’s preparations for Missouri State’s season opener against the Sooners. https://twitter.com/EricBaileyTW/status/1301233590303367171 Evidently, something happened over the past 9 months that took our attention away from this January 15th hire. https://twitter.com/MissouriStBears/status/1217448625602621441 At the time, it was reported that Missouri State had narrowed down the hiring options to Petrino and former Baylor coach Art Briles.…
