Well it's official. We are headed back to the Orange Bowl to play USC for the (Mythical) National Championship. I had a great trip this weekend to Kansas City to watch the Sooners hammer Colorado for the Big XII crown. I felt very good about the game, but I didn't think we'd dominate to the tune of 498-46 in total yardage and 42-3 on the scoreboard. To top it all off it was a great night weather-wise. It was right around 50 degrees and no wind. I didn't even wear gloves!! That was in stark contrast to last years' freezing debacle that was a 35-7 blowout. I have to send out a special thanks to the parental guidance for not going this year so we could bring home the 'W'.
So now it's on to the Orange Bowl! I am so fired up about playing USC. I can still remember playing them back in 88 and 92 and getting beaten. Now with both programs back on top and undefeated, this game is going to be so exciting. I really like our chances, because for the first time this season, we finally put it all together. SC is stout and I don't by any stretch of the imagination think it will be a blowout one way or the other, but I like our chances to pull it out. I am already nervous about Reggie Bush even touching the ball, but that's what makes the games fun. I'm sure I'll have plenty more about the game in the upcoming weeks.
Oh and if anyone has any Orange Bowl tickets you're looking to give away then let me know and I'll find someone to take them off your hands!!

Matt, I just thought I would let you know that I called CU and told them that this game was very important to my friend Matt. I said that it would mean a lot to me for them to give up the game to make my friend Matt happy. I did mention that I am a Colorado Native and that it always hurt me to see anything in Colorado not be the best (which everything else is the best) (oh expect for the Broncos, oh and the Nuggets, oh and the Rockies, OK bad example) (but anyway) but it was important to my friend. They said, OK, we will give up the game just to make your friend Matt happy and make his trip to see the game worth going. So you can thank me. Hope you had fun. Laters, Edney
Edney, You are so thoughtful. You really helped me out though, because I was very confused about how the buffs had changed all their cheers to "Buffs Go!!" I was wondering how they came up with that but now I know. Funny thing about the game is that I think the Leipzig Lions would have given us a better game!!
Boomer Sooner!
It was good to chat with you yesterday. I am impressed that you got to go to KC for the big game! Wow! I don't think I have been to an OU game since we won the championship back in 1985.
Gee, Matt, it sounds like you're on the team yourself. Maybe they'll give you a seat on the bus. Then you would be in heaven. Glad you're doing well.
I didn't insult Winston. Just b/c he we should ride the short bus to doggy school doesn't mean I'm insulting him.
Very, very honest you mean.
