Thousands gather to Meet the Sooners
Coach Stoops on Sam Bradford at OU Media Day: "He is stronger in the weight room and in the years of maturity. He is a stronger guy. I know he will be more comfortable in the position going through 14 games a year ago. I think just play within the system, take what is there and be smart and, I think, naturally, just some pocket presence. I think that the hardest think to teach young guys is to stay in the pocket, trust it and throw it. He really has that and always has. I think there are some times he can escape it maybe a little bit better but it may come naturally to him."
Sooner Coaches, players join National Marrow donor list: Bob Stoops was among 84 individuals who placed their names on the National Marrow Donor Program list today during Oklahoma's football media day. A majority of the team followed the lead of the head coach, as did several OU athletics department staff members and at least one representative from the news media. Stoops and the Oklahoma football program are part of a growing number of people stepping up to register as potential bone marrow donors with the NMDP. "It's rare when you might get a chance to save a life," Stoops said. "This process could lead to that for someone." Stoops, who has been regular visitor to children stricken with cancer, got the idea when athletes at Wagner College held a similar registry. "We didn't pressure our guys to participate," he said. "We just made it available to them. It was nice to see a number of them respond." (SoonerSports.com) To find out more information about National Marrow Donor Program visit www.marrow.org
