I actually hope that OU is NOT preseason #1.

Me too!...I hope we don't hit the #1 spot sometime until November.  It's tough to play with that target on your back....but hey, the best do it, so maybe its a mute point!

Special Teams:   C+

No doubt....I have noticed that we don't have as many special teams scores as we used to...for that matter we don't score on defense as much a we used to!....I think those need to be part of the formula before a NC is possible.

I think you could say the same for a number of teams. As far as the bowl games. I think we are spoiled by the season. there are a lot of teams (texas) that would love to be in our positon. I think there is no reason OU can not run the table. but there is so much pairity in collage football that we may not; but i do know that we will win more than most teams. and for one i can live with that

While our team may appear weak going into the preseason, we must remember the 2000 team.  There were no all-stars.  There were a bunch of decent athletes playing exceptionally well together.  That's how they got things done.  That team had a fire that no OU team has had since.  It seems that our boys (and coaches) are still trying to ride the coat tails from the 2000 NC.

I'm hoping Stoops and crew are able to get this year's team playing like a well oiled machine rather than focusing on the skills of one or two players.  If they do, OU can't be stopped.

PEACE!!

I agree with MrSooner there. There was a certain swagger and venom that the OU defense played with when he was around. Can't do anything about that now. What I don't agree with is the posts that knock fans for being realistic. So what if the past few years were considered debacles? Doesn't make you a worse fan for criticizing your team a little. I personally think Stoops have let his players get a little soft on the defensive end. OU needs the defense that brought big hits everytime and had guys that were busy with their hands and looking to strip balls each play. I am not too worried about the offense. I have confidence in Sam Bradford. The defense though, needs more discipline and a mean streak. There was the article earlier in the season that talked about Stoops feeling that OU was being disrespected for its last few years of post-season failures. I, for one, think that that is the correct attitude Stoops needs. He needs to remind the team that winning the Big 12 is no longer the goal. The goal is to win a BCS bowl game (hopefully a Nat'l Championship) handedly and to leave no doubt about which team was better on the field. That is what I am looking for. GO SOONERS!

LVSooner,

It is nice to see an OU fan that is also in Vegas on the message boards. We typically get most of the games here on one of the free channels but to get all them, you need the special package from Cox. Oh well. By the way, if you can get your wife to understand the OU pre-game ritual and meditation, please send me a message on the step-by-step instructions of replicating that monstrous feat. LOL!

Puremarble,

It's a work in progress, I know it's working little by little cause this offseason she has been wearing more of my OU stuff. At least that's what i keep telling myself. That cox package is the tough sell, she let me order it last year, because the year before I did it on a game by game basis and it was a lot more expensive. I gotta be careful or she is gonna make me eat turkey burgers and tofu or some other crap.  We need a Sooner bar out here, they can pay for the tv package and over charge us on the F&B. BOOMER SOONER!

sorry I have no idea what happened on that previous post.

It depends.  Is Bob's brother coming back or not?  If not, then yes OU will be overrated again this season.

Just my opinion.  No disrespect intended.
