Dont be such a cynic RYou! Those last three flukes have been purged from our system.

The BIG Game is in Miami this year.

We OWN the Orange Bowl! We won National Championships there in '55 (not elible in "56 or woulda then too) '75 (woulda in '74 too but that stoopid probation thing), '85 and 2000.

History is on OUR side!

As you can see things were FAR more bleak in 2000 than they are in 2008.

If as they say Championships are won in the trenches, this should be National Championship #8 for the Sooners. We have the nation's #1 O-line AND by far the best D-line in the Big XII.

We return the nations #1 rated quarterback and he isnt even the best player in the backfield.

Im far more optimistic about 2008 than I was about 2007. Young players loose games because they are young. That's why senior laden teams do better.

That's why senior laden teams do better.

This is why tOSU will be national champions this year.

On Sept. 13th everyone will know that they are they best team in the nation. I predict tOSU 27 USC 13

Why Sooners are looking forward to 2008 football
