Sam Bradford Is The Face Of A Nation

Well! It seems that Florida's defense came to play and kept the pressure on OU's offense and only let the Sooners score a big 14 points to Florida's 24 points. I think that 14 pointer is OU's lowest score of the season, huh? It was a good game even if the Sooners did not come out on top!

-- submitted by N. Talkington, Jan. 8, 2009 -- <br><br> 'Twas the night before the BCS National Championship GO SOONERS!!!<br><br> 'Twas the night before the BCS and all through the land, <br> not a Gator was stirring, not even the band.<br><br> Their Jockeys were hung by the locker with care, <br> in hopes that the 'Sooner's' soon would be there.<br><br> Tebow was nestled all snug in his bed, <br> while visions of glory danced in his head.<br><br> And Meyer in his kerchief full of Florida pride, <br> and Bob and the 'Sooner's' ready to ride.<br><br> When down in Miami there arose such a clatter, <br> Harvin sprang from his bed to see what was the matter.<br><br> He realized 'the Option' was gone in a flash, <br> and Tebows's dreams of running had just been dashed.<br><br> The 'Gator' running backs trembled as they watched the show, <br> A Crimson and Cream luster set the horizon aglow.<br><br> When what to their wondering eyes should they find,<br> but a miniature Schooner, seven National Titles behind.<br><br> With a wizened old driver, skilled in leading his troops,<br> they knew in a moment it must be Bob Stoops.<br><br> More rapid than Texas his players came, <br> and he whistled and shouted and called them by name.<br><br> 'On Bradford , on Gresham, now Madu and Murray! <br> On Chris Brown! On Iglesias! On Stevens and Curry!<br><br> To the top of the BCS! To the top of it all! <br> Now dash their hopes! Dash their dreams! Dash away all !!!<br> And than in a twinkling, the Gators fought back a scream, <br> and Tim Tebow saw the last of his Heisman trophy dream.<br><br> The defense drew in their breath and looked all around, <br> and realized that their 'savior Meyer' was nowhere to be found.<br><br> Bob's eyes how they twinkled, his coaches how merry! <br> As they carried on the legacy left them by Bud and Barry!<br> Tim's sad little face and a fear in his belly, <br> he shook on the field as his knees turned to jelly.<br><br> He spoke not a word, and the ball they couldn't carry, <br> Stoops filled up the scoreboard and then turned to Barry.<br><br> And laying his hand on the shoulder of his friend, <br> he gave Switzer a nod and said, 'Like Missouri again.'<br><br> Bob sprang to the Schooner, to his team gave a shout, <br> to the BCS they flew and left Florida down and out.<br><br> And we heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight, <br> 'Boomer Sooner to All and to All a Good Night!'<br>

I'm not at all torn, just because I live in Florida and my son went to O.U. We're spending Thursday evening with (rabid) U.F fans,(although she has a B.A. from Auburn) and plan to cheer loud and clear for O.U. May the best team (O.U.) win.

Boomer Sooners!! I want OU to win, if only to turn off the "hail Florida" mindset of the sports media!
