(3/27) Stoops Happy with Bedlam Thanksgiving Game
Stoops pleased with schedule change; Now with 12 game season: Coach Bob Stoops on the rescheduled Bedlam Thankgiving weekend game. From SoonerSports.com
"Now that we're back to the 12-game schedule, it's important to get a bye week somewhere during the regular season," Stoops said. "Before we made this change, we didn't have a bye for this year so this one may come at a pretty good time for us. "I've been in favor of having an open week just before the Big 12 Championship game, but I've looked over our history and have adjusted my thinking a little bit. We've played in five of those games during our eight years here and the only one we didn't win had an open week before we went to play. Of the four we've won three went directly from our last regular season game to the championship game. If that's what works best for us, I'm all for it."
Oklahoma State on the change, from ESPN.com/AP.
"I like playing our instate rival the final weekend of the season," Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder said. "The game is always well attended but this particular date gives us a better opportunity for national television coverage."A tip of the hat to Oklahoma Sooners Fan, Good Ol'J.R.: Last night, it was announced WWE and Oklahoma's own Jim Ross will be inducted into WWE Hall of Fame Saturday night. Ross truly among the greats in broadcasting, has served nearly 30 years. The native Oklahoman can be spotted on the sideline of every Oklahoma game and of course, every Monday on cable television's #1 show, WWE Raw. Ross is set to call WrestleMania 24 this Sunday live from Ford Field, Detroit. More about Jim Ross and his Family Bar-B-Q at JRSBARBQ.com. (When watching J.R. makes me wanna grab some fruity skittles!!!)
You gotta love skittles! Congrats J.R. for nearly 30 years and many more to come!
