Sooners Win Bedlam — Should Advance to National Final Four

With OU’s 58-23 win over Oklahoma State in Bedlam–OU football for the first time  since 2008 and the Thunder’s arrival in Oklahoma City head into the month of December as a viable national championship contender.

In 2008, Sam Bradford won the Heisman and OU advanced the National Championship Game against Urban Meyer’s Florida’s Gators. OU lost that game 24-14, but it was basically a one possession game. Interestingly, OU lost to Texas 38-28 to Texas that same season, but like this season, ran the table to advance. Guess beating or losing to Texas really doesn’t mean that much anymore.

Before the Thunder’s arrival in Oklahoma–OU football ruled the sports roost with its iconic brand and national championship heritage. Not so since the Thunder’s arrival in 2008 as a kid from the University of Texas named Kevin Durant has taken claim as the most important sports person in the state.

So–for the first time since 2008, OU football and Thunder basketball share the limelight in Oklahoma heading towards Christmas.

Oklahomans have a deep rooted passion for their sports teams and this sports year could be special.
