No, people, I am not referring to Dale Earnhardt Jr., Cal Ripken, or Yogi Berra...
I'm talking about Oklahoma University winning its 8th National Championship game tonight against a very stout Florida team. Here's a little history how OU has fared playing in Dolphin Stadium in the past.
NORMAN, Okla. -- Technically, the Sooners aren't in the Orange Bowl, but it sure feels like Oklahoma's familiar post-season stomping ground. The 2009 FedEx BCS National Championship game marks OU's third trip to Dolphin Stadium and its 19th trip to Miami all-time for a bowl game. Oklahoma is making its fourth appearance in the BCS title game. In fact, each year the BCS Championship has been contested in Miami (2001, '05, '09), OU has been one of the participants. In 2001, OU claimed the program's seventh national title with a 13-2 victory over Florida State. In all, four of Oklahoma's seven national championship campaigns (1955, '75, '85 and 2000) have concluded with victories in Miami, including each of its last three.
So, people, if history teaches us anything, we like Dolphin Stadium!
Boomer Sooner Baby - it is indeed (finally) Game Day!!!
And if that doesn't get you excited, watching this will (at least for me)...
I hope, for your clients sake, your financial predictions are better than your game predictions. Florida was too much for the crimson and cream. I watched the game, and mourned for you, Patrick.
ReplyDeleteFlorida gave us the game in the first half and we did not respond. That was disappointing.
