Whoooo. Finally got the courage to read some articles today... sports-related... Orange Bowl related.. it wasn't pretty. Most of them just focused on USC's dominance, etc. That's well and good, I don't mind. And then came those that focused on OU being unfit to be in a national championship game, etc. In fact, I believe there were the words "Choklahoma," and, "poser," included in there. Ouch.

But hey, that's to be expected. As I sit here asking, "WHY," I'm sure Bob Stoops and Jason White are seeking solace with their significant others asking the same thing. Wondering if they could just do something different. If it was their fault. And perhaps more importantly, what to do now. And that's the next step for Bob Stoops at least. Figure out what to do next. He's obviously a great recruiter. He's obviously a great coach. But for the last two BCS bowls, we have been routed. Not defeated, routed. Very difficult for OU fans to watch. My friend Matt said that it seems as if Stoops needs to go back to the drawing board and start from the basics. Defense, defense, defense. Our offense was amazing this year, no question about it. But our defense, oh howdy our defense. Never in Stoops's tenure here have we been chastised about our defense and here it is, coming to fruition.

I'll be posting more, trying to get some answers to what happened in the Orange Bowl. I need to vent somewhere.

NOW SOMETHING POSITIVE:

Ashlee Simpson (shudder) performed at the game yesterday, and as usual, she was very odd. At the end of the performance, she got booed (!) offstage with taunts of, "You suck!" Check the article..


Ashlee Simpson's vocal malfunction-
Making viewers long for the days of Janet Jackson's breast


Ahh.. some laughs after all of this. Sweet respite.
