Vegas: Day 2 sidebar/Sooner football videos

So I was checking my email via Blackberry this morning. Saw Berry Tramel’s script he emailed before this morning’s taping. Berry wrote about Bob Stoops’ crazy scoring system from Saturday’s Red-White football game.


Good stuff. Check out the video from Berry.

Video: OU Red White game

Two notes:

1) Sooner content drives huge traffic on NewsOK. So does OSU, breaking news and weather. But the Sooners typically pull large page views and video views.

And they drive large amounts of comments from Sooner fans. Check out this comment from today’s OU Red White game.

John from Destin notes “The only TD by the first offense was called by a fan….that inspires confidence….”

Here’s what John (from Destin) is referring to:

The Sooners’ first-team offense scored its only touchdown on a 51-yard pass from Bradford to tight end Jermaine Gresham on a play called by fan Shae Farmer, who got the chance to call a series of plays by with the winning bid of $2,900 in an auction benefiting the athletic department.

2) See for yourself. Watch Damon Fontenot’s video from Norman.

“Dominique Franks and the Sooners defense grab six interceptions and return three for touchdowns in Saturday’s spring finale.”

Video: Bob Stoops uncut

One of the most popular videos on NewsOK is simply people, namely athletes, in their own words.

Damon Fontenot was in Norman on Saturday for the Red-White game as the Sooners played before more than 20,000 fans. Here is the OU coach uncut:

Worst refs ever!

You might have guessed it. The Pac-10 Conference has the worst football referees. Sooner fans will definitely agree with this Seattle Times’ poll. The Times polled 42 coaches, including Sooner coach Bob Stoops, asking opinions on which conference had the most incompetent officiating. The Big Ten was voted the best.

Dancing with the Stars has announced its fall roster. Mark Cuban, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Wayne Newton anyone? They are among the 12 celebs who will compete. Dancing begins Sept. 24 on ABC.

Are you excited about the new iPod? Apple has distributed invitations to a Sept. 5 event in San Francisco, and industry people are speculating it’s for a new family of iPods. Can you say full screen video iPod?

Danke Schoen!
