Typically two losses in a season dooms any shot the Oklahoma Sooners have of putting together the type of season the program expects.
But despite two losses in a three-week span in late October and early November, the Sooners ended up winning the Big 12 Conference championship, downing Nebraska in the title game. As a result, Oklahoma earned a berth in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year’s night against Big East Conference champion Connecticut. (Read More…)

Oklahoma football’s greatest showdown is happening in just a week, and it looks like the winner will be heading away with more than bragging rights.
The winner between No. 13 Oklahoma and No. 9 Oklahoma State will likely also be playing for the Big 12 South Title. The game to decide it, Bedlam, will be held at OSU’s Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 27.
Currently, OU is ranked higher than No. 17 Texas A&M in the most recent Bowl Championship Series Standings, which means that if OU wins, they should have the Big 12 South title. Ironically, if the Sooners come out on top after Bedlam, (Read More…)

Completion after completion, pass after pass, Landry Jones carved up the Florida State defense in a matchup of ranked teams that turned into a blowout.

To the surprise of no one, embattled Oklahoma guard Willie Warren has declared for the NBA Draft.
Seemingly a lottery-pick lock after a stellar freshman season, Warren struggled mightily both on and off the court this past year. He frequently clashed with head coach Jeff Capel, culminating in an early-season benching, and dealt with an ankle injury and illness as the season wore on. But his performance prior to those issues was disappointing to say the least, and as a result, his draft stock has plummeted. He’s no longer projected to be drafted in the first round, let alone the lottery.
Warren’s announcement is the second such one to come this offseason; guard Tommy Mason-Griffin shocked the university and draft scouts by dropping out of school and declaring, despite the fact that he could go undrafted altogether.
With Ray Willis leaving the school and stud freshman Tiny Gallon also possibly leaving after the NCAA opened an investigation regarding his receiving money from a financial adviser that could put his eligibility into question, this has been a tumultuous a year for Capel and the program.Once thought to be one of basketball’s fastest-rising stars, Capel must gain control of his team in a hurry.
