Mike: If only we had a fan base of which the football team could be proud

by

I remember when the only boos heard at Owen Field occurred when the band played the visiting team’s fight song.

And that always seemed perfunctory. A half-hearted, we-gotta-do it, buuu…ewe. 

Last night during the OU-West Virginia game, boos came when the Sooners were failing to convert third downs in the second quarter.

More disappointing was a chorus of “We want Caleb”  — a chant I didn’t hear in the stadium, but apparently was nationally broadcast on prime time ABC from a mic’ed up student section of drunken frat boys.

These booing and chanting apparently didn’t notice a Sooners offensive line that was getting whipped by the Mountaineers and causing QB Spencer Rattler to run for his life all night (until the final drive when it counted the most).

“Like parallel parking” Brkic saves Sooners in 16-13 nailbiter

A bend-but-not-break Sooner defense kept Oklahoma in the game despite a sputtering offense for most of the contest against West Virginia on Saturday night. 

But in the end, QB Spencer Rattler, undaunted by boo birds from the stands, led the Sooners on 54 yard final drive, completing all six pass attempts and placing Oklahoma in position to line locler Gabe Brkic up for the game-winning field goal. 

Like most everyone in the stadium expected, Brkic hit the 30 yarder.

And Oklahoma won 16-13.

Dave: Rattler better than you think, but still not there yet

by

The rumblings got a little louder after the Nebraska game last Saturday.  What’s wrong with the offense?  Why don’t we throw the ball deep?  Caleb should be starting! 

That last one is what I hear the most.  But you know the old saying, the most popular guy on the team is the back-up quarterback. 

Starting quarterbacks get all the blame when things are going wrong and they get too much of the credit when things are going right. 

Rattler does not deserve all the heat he is getting.  It’s true that he seems to not be as sharp as he was at the end of last year and he has missed some open receivers.
