While I am an injured Sooner, recovering from our loss to
(burp) Kansas, I must beg to differ with all of you.  If
anyone happens to catch the official NCAA defensive rankings
Oklahoma's defense is the best in the nation.

About Winchester' punt:  If he had first gained control
of the ball, and then gone down, the ball would be dead at
that point.  But, the impetus of the snap forced him to
drop down to 1 knee to get it.  That according to twoo
different radio stations (indifferent to either team((
explained it.

About the interception:  Unfortunately, The Eyes Of Texas
are too blind to see the obvious; that the end-zone contact
was incidental.  But I don't expect that to change the minds
of those too blind to see.

Unfortunately, the OU that lost to Kansas is not the same
team that beat Texas (yes, Beat Texas.  Fred Akers couldn't
win a big game without the officials; just ask SMU..)
Danny Bradley, starting QB, was out with a sprained ankle
and a hand injury; since our original #2 QB was declared
ineligible, we were forced to start who would have been a
redshirt Freshman.  Our starting fullback has a broken knee
acp, our starting split end had stomach flu.  Result?  Offense
can't do too much.

And it gets worse.  We just lost two defensive starters to
injury in a terrible car accident.  Fortunately, they'll both
be allright but it'll be a least 9  months for rehabilitation
for both players, according to news reports.

As for the OU rosterr consisting of 75% Texas folk, well,
while the percentage is of course, wrong, it speaks well
of those who knew that there was nothing in Texas worth
staying for.

As for Washington, while I have no personal antipathy for
them, I feel as a #1 team they are a joke.  They'll have
plenty of chances to be beaten.
