NW Okie's R & R

Besides rooting for the Boomer Sooners and/or Pokes of OSU, did you get your daily dose of Thanksgiving turkey, starches, pies and cranberry sauces?

GO POKES! GO SOONERS! That is the shouts that a few Oklahoman's were shouting about this last Saturday when the Bedlam began between Oklahoma State University (OSU) and Oklahoma University (OU) at Stillwater, Oklahoma.



What a game! Especially the last three minutes! In case you did not watch it on the television or were not in the Stillwater, Boone Pickens Stadium, Oklahoma State cornerback Brodrick Brown's play during the Cowboys' 47-41 loss to Oklahoma will be remembered, played back on TIVO and DVR long after the 2010 Big 12 champion is crowned.

Brown, a redshirt sophomore, jumped into the air, out of bounds, to bat a Landry Jones pass back to teammate Shaun Lewis for one of the most improbable interceptions in recent memory. It was reported as the No. 1 play on ESPN SportsCenter's top-10 plays countdown on Saturday night.

No. 9 Oklahoma is headed back to the Big 12 championship game to face No. 13 Nebraska after winning a tiebreaker based on the Bowl Championship Series standings. The Sooners were ninth in the standings released Sunday, with Oklahoma State 14th and Texas A&M 18th. The three teams finished the regular season tied atop the Big 12 South with 6-2 records in conference play, and the BCS standings were used to break the tie.

Good Night & Good Luck!   |  View or Add Comments (1 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
