(12/27) Oklahoma Practices and Dozen Sooner Articles, Columns

Sooners practice day four: Just three days until show time. The Sooners marked their fourth day in San Diego with practice and a trip to the world-famous zoo. Oklahoma plays Oregon in the 2005 Pacific Life Holiday Bowl on Thursday, Dec. 29, at 5 p.m. PST. The Sooners enjoyed a quiet evening on Sunday for Christmas but had position meetings early Monday and then rolled out for practice at 9:30 a.m. The fourth session at the practice facility at San Diego State University lasted for a little over two hours. Head coach Bob Stoops met with the noticeably larger media corps after he huddled with his team. "The guys were enthusiastic," said Stoops. "They hustled around and practiced well. We're in good shape and the guys understand the plan. It just gets down to making plays and handling the different wrinkles." Stoops was asked about his impressions of San Diego and the Holiday Bowl. "I love it," said Stoops. "From the hotel to all the different events, the people couldn't be any better." (More at SoonerSports.com)
