"Oklahoma is pulling out all the stops to bring recognition to its womens’ gymnastics team. A week after its annual Beauty and The Beast meet, the fifth-ranked Sooners are hosting “A Red Carpet Affair” at 7 p.m. Friday in the Lloyd Noble Center.
The Sooners are using the event to support National Wear Red Day and [...]"
"Just in time for Christmas, boxing fans will be treated to a gift Thursday night. Lawton native Grady “Bad Boy” Brewer (28-13, 16 KOs) will defend his North American Boxing Federation super middleweight belt at the Cox Conventian Center in Oklahoma City.
Brewer, who will turn 41 the same day as the fight, will face [...]"
"Just arrived at the OKC vs. Mavericks game. The Thunder need to think about renaming Chesapeake Energy Arena. Just doesn’t sound as good as Ford Arena or Thunder Dome. Any good ideas for a good nickname?
"
"Jeremy Smith’s touchdown run puts the Cowboys up 41-3 with 5 minutes left in the third quarter.
This game is over. Cowboys are playing great. Sooners are just going through the motions. It’s just a matter f naming the final score.
"
"Landry Jones’ second fumble was returned for a touchdown by OSU defensive end Richetti Jones.
Jones wasn’t even pressured on the play. He fumbled when he cocked his arm back. It’s been that kind of night for the Sooners.
"
"Oklahoma’s first-half disaster is finally over. Michael Hunnicutt’s 47-yard field goal kept the Sooners from being shutout. Other than that, the opening 30 minutes was a complete calamity for OU.
Offense has been stagnant with Landry Jones throwing an interception that set up an OSU field goal and fumbling to set up a touchdown. There’s been [...]"
"Landry Jones has already attempted 29 passes with over four minutes left in the first half. They have 10 rushing attempts.
"
"OSU grabs 17-0 lead with 4:34 left in the first half. The last touchdown was setup when Landry Jones fumbled and OSU defensive tackle Jamie Blatnick returned it to the Sooner 1.
It was the second Sooner turnover. OU needed to win the turnover battle to have a chance. Cowboys have already scored 10 points off [...]"
"The Sooners trial 10-0 early in the second quarter. The offense has been stagnant to say the least. Three possessions, three punts. Meanwhile the Cowboys have established the run and outside of a late hit by linebacker Tom Wort, there’s been little pressure on OSU quarterback Brandon Weeden.
Don’t know what a nightmare start would have [...]"
"OSU just had a pretty easy 4-play, 68-yard drive to take a 7-point lead. Sooner defense looked very shaky. The 68-yard pass from Brandon Weeden to Tracy Moore was the drive’s big play, but OSU scored on a 9-yard touchdown run.
"
"OU is about to punt again after a three-and-out. Quarterback Landry Jones has taken big hits on his last two pass attempts. Cowboys blitzed heavily on third down.
"
"Tony Jefferson is playing strong safety on OU’s first defensive series. Joseph Ibiloye is at the nickel spot. That appears to be the only personnel adjustment from last week.
OSU is working hard to establish the run early.
"
"Landry Jones has decided to try to milk more Bedlam magic out of tight end James Hanna. Just tried to force the ball into quadruple coverage on third down. Sooners were lucky to still be able to punt.
"
"
We lost another one of America’s “Greatest Generation.” Walt Knoepfli died at age 86. He was a fixture in Norman, having lived in Norman longer than me. He came in 1955, worked at Central State Hospital, now Griffin Hospital, and had forgotten more people than I’ll ever know.
Saw him earlier this month. He brought in [...]"
"It’s finally over at Owen Field. Sooners win 26-6 to set up next week’s Bedlam game, which will be for the Big 12 championship.
Things that stick out from Saturday’s game were:
• OU’s defense answered the bell, holding Iowa State to less than 300 yards of total offense and forcing four turnovers. The wind was a [...]"
"The Cyclones have punted on fourth-and-short on its last two possessions. Their defense is playing well, but someone might want to remind Paul Rhoads that Iowa State trails 23-6, so it’s going to have to score some points to win.
"
"Michael Hunnicutt’s 36-yard field goal into a howling north wind gives OU a 23-6 halftime lead. Here are some impressions.
The lead should be much bigger. The Sooners have come up four first-half turnovers (three fumbles and an interception), but they’ve only turned them into nine points.
Hunnicutt is having a very good game. Kicking any sort [...]"
"10-play, 79-yard drive capped by Blake Bell’s 3-yard touchdown run gives OU a 10-6 lead. The touchdown run came on the double fullback lead that the Sooners have been most effective with in short-yardage situations.
"
"Blake Bell just threw an interception from the 1-yard line and OU trails 6-3 at the end of the first quarter.
This game isn’t going well for OU. Defense came up with two turnovers and the offense had a 40 mile-an-hour wind at its back and the Sooners trail 6-3.
"
"High snap from deep snapper James Winchester sets up Cyclones touchdown pass to Albert Gary. The ball was actually tipped by Sooner defensive end Frank Alexander. It’s the second time in two weeks the Sooner defense has given up a touchdown on a ball that was tipped.
It was the first time this season Winchester has [...]"
