So I hope the OU folks stop tying altitude to the fact that their year in and year out "stops" at the line of scrimmage are low and probably because of the way the defense is coached back on its heels to react instead of attack mode like FSU. It is the defense coaching philosophy. From a disgruntled Okie who lives in Tallahassee. I am glad that you mention that FSU also went to UC and held the Buffalos to -rushing yardage.

My Dad took me to my first game in 1968 - OU vs. NU here in Lincoln. Those were the days of Eddie Hinton, Bobby Warmack, Ron Schotts, Granville Liggins, Steve Zabel, etc. I walked out of Memorial Stadium that day as a Sooner fan and have never looked back. I will be heading to Dallas this Saturday for my 15th straight OU vs. Texas game. Forget the ratings, it's OU/Texas! That is all I need to get fired up. I can't wait. Now, getting to last Saturday in Boulder. realize that the Sooners stumbled badly. Blowing a 24 - 7 lead in the second half leaves room for no excuses. But I can sure try - why has nothing been said in the media about the reversed call when Iglesias caught that ball at midfield with 3:00 minutes left to play? If some one can show me the requisite "conslusive " evidence that the ball touched the ground - I will go silently into the night. Every angle I saw showed a catch - which was the ruling on the field. First and 10 at midfield with 3:00 to go and we have a shot - at the very least, we punt them deep and hold on for OT. I am sick and tired of getting screwed on these replays. What gives? Yours Truly, Nebraska Sooner Berry – I am a lifelong Sooner fan born and raised in the heart of Husker Nation.

Maybe you could smooth over the whole Gundy v Sherman/Carlson issue by recommending that Sherman unconditionally apologize, in the paper, for printing Jenni's piece. That way the hatchet could be buried, and we could all enjoy the rest of this amazing B12 season. BTW, I see alot of Dan Hawkins in Mike gundy. How about you?
