I don't ever remember anticipating any Oklahoma game with such a foreboding as I do for this upcoming game.
I do, however, feel that if OU can play as a team well prepared, composed and motivated, there's no reason to think that this team can't at least play a tough, close game against LSU or any other team.....injuries and suspensions be damned.
Every player on the roster and every incoming recruit has to know that they are at OU to play in big games like this annually and that it's the biggest part of being a Sooner.
The future appears bright for OU and I hope we can see this game as not only a chance at "# 8", but also as a valuable lesson to the players and coaches in how to break the 20 year old stranglehold that teams from Dixie and Ohio State have has in recent years.
OU has the coaching, history, facilities, location and resources as good as any team in the country and winning games against the likes of LSU must happen to get OU over the hump....both on the field and in recruiting.....and it needs to happen now.
