It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

August 2009 - The cup of optimism runneth over. We are planning on a strong run to #8.

November 2009 - The cup of pessimism runneth over (at least for some). Many are hoping that we get bowl eligible.


My personal feelings are that a person's (or team's) true character is revealed in its time of greatest challenge. We will see how this young Sooner bunch handles the remainder of the year and grows from going through a ton of adversity.


This quote seems appropriate...

"If we study the lives of great men and women carefully and unemotionally we find that, invariably, greatness was developed, tested and revealed through the darker periods of their lives. One of the largest tributaries of the RIVER OF GREATNESS is always the STREAM OF ADVERSITY."
- Cavett Robert

Or how about this quote...

Boomer Sooner!


The seeds of the demise of this year's team were sewn last year.

Failure to improve the OL's run blocking skills.

The failure to anticipate and prepare for the potential worst case scenario.....Bradford's injury.

Does anyone else remember in the late 90s when they used the play the "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" clip from Animal House when we would fall behind at home.
