Special Report on the State of the Season


This would not be a true diary of an Okie in exile without an entry discussing the state of affairs with the Sooner football team as it now stands. Lady Luck has turned her back on the Sooners in a series of, shall we say, unfortunate events. First, it started with the loss to Oregon by horrendous, incompetent officiating. That display by the PAC 10 officials supports the concept of drug-testing for referees and instant-replay "specialists" as much as for the players.


Then came the loss to Texas, which is always a sad day. . . .








. . . now today's sad news about Adrian Peterson breaking his collarbone and being sidelined for the rest of the season. Our victory over Iowa State was dearly bought. This unfortunate event is even more lamentable for it happened after Peterson beat Quentin Griffin's record for rushing yards with a total of 3,968 yds. Peterson was also a hopeful (again) for the Heisman Trophy.

Is the season over? Will he return for his Senior year or leave us to go pro?
