Posted: 12.09.2002 War of the Roses  With all the hubub of the weekend, I never even got the chance to congratulate my Sooners for being invited to the Grandaddy of 'em All! That's right. The University of Oklahoma is Rose Bowl bound -- they'll be in Pasadena!With 35 previous bowl games, Oklahoma ranks among the nation's elite football programs. But don't try selling the current Sooners on the fact that post-season play is in anyway old hat.I can't believe the regular college football season is already at an end though. I'm seriously about to haul out the black and go into mourning. It just never lasts long enough. And I'm sorry folks (not that there's anything wrong with that) but golf and NASCAR just do NOT cut it. Sigh. Boomer Sooner!  Yeah, yeah – you going to watch my team (Michigan) kick the crap out of Florida (I hope) in the Outback bowl in Tampa on new years? [Mister Mittens – One outback pussy]  -this ¤ ¤ Yay! And I'll be able to watch it live this side of the pond, as we have just got a new satellite channel over here. North American Sports Network! Can I be a Boomer now? ¤ ¤ credit: AntGrad | 12.09.02 at 07:17 PM | link--this ¤ ¤I'm in the Minority here...and my worst nightmare has come true. Ohio State v. Miami. Ugh! Oh Well, I said it earlier, and I'll stand by it, I wish it was OU. In fact this weekend at the game, I heard pretty much everyone in out tailgate tent say the same thing. Go Canes! ¤ ¤ credit: John | 12.09.02 at 07:18 PM | link--this ¤ ¤I'm in the Minority here...and my worst nightmare has come true. Ohio State v. Miami. Ugh!

I had a double take and had to actually skim to make sure it was your Sooners that they were talking about, and it was (I guess they are up against WA?) That's so cool that they get to go to the Rose Bowl for you, cuz I know how much you love seeing them anywhere :) ¤ ¤ credit: kristine | 12.09.02 at 07:30 PM | link--this ¤ ¤I got to pull for my boys in the big 10 - Go Ohio State - crap I can't believe I just wrote that - yuck!

Plenty of room here, and the rose bowl's about half an hour away. We'll leave the light on for ya! ¤ ¤ credit: wendell | 12.09.02 at 08:02 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Go Sooners! We've just gone into basketball season now and having a great time. ¤ ¤ credit: sandy | 12.09.02 at 09:01 PM | link--this ¤ ¤John, the Buckeyes will give a good accounting of themselves (Go Blow, Canes!) Coach Tressle is not new to national championships having won 4 at Youngstown State (I know... don't start!) and played in two others, and that is with a real playoff system. Miami better have their get-go on because they won't run over the Buckeye D like some of the pansy schools they've played. ¤ ¤ credit: Bill OH | 12.09.02 at 10:21 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Go Hawks! I was kind of disappointed that they didn't get to go to the Rose Bowl - tradtionally the Rose Bowl has been Big 10 - but HEY! Orange Bowl! Probably similar to the disappointment you have, Robyn, that your Sooners don't get the Orange Bowl, traditionally Big 12 (or Big 8 depending upon your history). I guess all the Hawkeye Alumni teammates that make up the coaching staff (Bob Stoops, Mike Stoops, Chuck Long and Jonathan Hayes) will feel right at home in Pasadena! All of them played in at least one Rose Bowl. Good luck to the Sooners and GO Ohio State! What with OSU, Iowa and Michigan it looks like the Big 10 really is Big this year! ¤ ¤ credit: Bill | 12.09.02 at 11:03 PM | link--this ¤ ¤golf is in the off season..although they are showing a few off season matches on tv. nascar is also off till daytona. ¤ ¤ credit: bird | 12.10.02 at 01:23 AM | link--this ¤ ¤68 days, 4 hours, 25 minutes, 9 seconds till the green flag drops at Daytona...not that anyone is in withdrawals or anything. ¤ ¤ credit: a different Bill | 12.10.02 at 08:03 AM | link--this ¤ ¤So are you guys planning a trip to Cali or will you be around for New Years Day. If you're staying home I'll be there! ¤ ¤ credit: popcorn | 12.10.02 at 10:09 AM | link--this ¤ ¤We won't be in Cali, but we already have out-of-town New Year's plans. Sorry! ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 12.10.02 at 04:20 PM | link--this ¤ ¤Not a good weekend for Colorado football. The funny thing is now the Buffs season wil be longer than the Broncos who absolutely seem snakebit. Congrats to the Sooners. Until we meet again. -this ¤ ¤GO SOONERS.. ¤ ¤ credit: Alwaysaokie | 12.11.02 at 10:22 AM | link--this ¤ ¤
