I have been sitting back and tremendously enjoying
O.U.'s 6th National championship and the extra income
that their WELL EARNED Orange Bowl victory brought me,
but I feel I must comment on some of the statements
made recently on the net, most of them by Jim Brunet
and Eddy Lor.

OU whipped Penn State fair and square and DESERVES the
national championship!!! It was also a very exciting
game to watch, even if I am somewhat biased.
Regarding a proposed playoff among the top 8 teams of
the 1985 season, OU would win the playoff handily and
UCLA wouldn't make it passed the first round, especially
if their first opponent was OU.
Regarding the OU vs. ucla game next year - a passing game
will take OU's defense apart?? Don't make me laugh!!
OU won't have Casillas next year, but ucla won't have
Whalen, so their losses are about equal? Jeez, Whalen
wouldn't even have started for OU this year!!
Someone pointed out that OU lost to Miami while ucla
won the big games they had to win - did they forget
that OU beat Texas, SMU, Minnesota, Penn State, and 
Okla. State (who BEAT Washington) while also stomping
Nebraska, as they pointed out?? I'd sure like to see
ucla go 6-0 against those same 6 teams.
I will continue to enjoy OU's season this year, and look
forward to a second consecutive national championship
(and beating ucla) next year!!
