Running North and South

[MichiganSooner]

Fox Sports Southwest is showing old ballgames with OUr team and OSU.
The commentator just criticized an OSU running back and used his illustrator to draw arrows on the field. He said the OSU runner needs to run north and south (drawing arrows toward the endzone) not east and west (drawing arrows from sideline to sideline.

I guess he doesn't know T Bone Pickens field runs east and west.

I'm hoping to see Cowboy running backs going north and south this Saturday.

It's a figure-of-speech, not the field layout.

I think it was meant to be sarcastic, not literal.

BTW, MichiganSooner, Bartlesville's my home town - hope you love it there.

What ding-a-ling decided it would be a good idea to orient the stadium east to west?

[AlbqSooner]

Actually it was done that way so they would not have to take those homes North of the stadium by eminent domain and tear them down.;)

what day are the re-broadcasts on?

[MichiganSooner]

There were 2 that I partially saw on Thanksgiving. 2001 and 02 games. I guess they are trying to give aggie a good vibe by showing to wins over OU.

A figure of speech derived from the fact that 99% of all college football stadiums are North-South, except for Stoolwater...

Yes, I do. We moved here in 1996 and we really love it. It's a loooong drive home from a night game though.

[hairGel] THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!
