42 Days to Kickoff!




Football season is almost here! The Sooners will kick off the season against the Brigham Young Cougars at 6 pm Central time on September 5. The game will be held at Arlington, Texas. Oklahoma is #5 on the AP Top 25, behind Texas, USC, Utah and Florida.


Five of last season's Sooners have moved on to the NFL. OT Phil Loadholt went to Minnesota in the 2nd round. Juaquin Iglesias was drafted by Chicago in the 3rd round. Nic Harris and Duke Robinson both went in the 5th round: Harris to Buffalo and Robinson to Carolina. Finally, in the 7th round Manual Johnson went to the Dallas Cowboys.


Only five of last season's offensive starters are returning for another season with the Sooners, but among them are Jermaine Gresham, DeMarco Murray, Chris Brown, Trent Williams and last year's Heisman winner, Sam Bradford. Eight defenders are returning to OU: Jeremy Beal, Gerald McCoy, Travis Lewis, Keenan Clayton, Dominique Franks, Brian Jackson, Auston English and Adrian Taylor.

We have an exciting season to look forward to! Boomer Sooner!
