From the CouchIn the minds of some, OU/Texas is likened to Christmas. To others, it’s just some random weekend in October where all societal norms are thrown out the window. Which one are you?

On the CoverSo what kind of mischief and debauchery does Dallas have in store for you?

SportsWe’ve seen this Sooner team in action several times now, and we’re all wondering the same thing: Is this our year? Does this team have what it takes?

26

End NotesCrosswords, numbers and advertisements, oh my. At this point you probably don’t need a description of what’s back there. Next issue we’ll really see if anyone is paying attention.

Food & DrinkTailgate time, boys and girls. What shall you ever drink in the debaucherous hours leading up to the big game? Turn the page and find out!

Friends, sorority sisters and soon to be fellow lawyers, these two girls argue their house is the cutest and cleanest we’ve ever seen. And, they have the very first land line we’ve photographed for Cribs. Congratulations!

Cribs16Film

In recent years, many of the television treasures of our youth have been made into progressively terrible movies. As always, it’s about money and Hollywood being stupid. Go figure.

We Like Computers Right?Found any good apps for that iPad yet? I figure you’ve had enough time to browse the AppStore at this point. I’ll bet you guys have been getting a ton done at the office lately.

– Charlie

I’m still digging. There are just too damn many of them and they all sound good. The apps being more expensive than their iPhone counterparts is a bunch of crap. And yes, we have been getting loads of stuff done at the office, thank you

very much. You think I’m going to leave my new toy with the likes of these clowns?! No way, Jose.

– JM. . .

Streaming Movie BaronAs someone that has a Netflix account, I ask ... does anyone else have a @&$%$* Netflix account? Half my friends are using mine and it seems like more are jumping on the wagon all the time!

– L.S.

Welcome to college, freshman! No. No one has their own account. Kind of. I’ll just say get used to it now. In my expe-rience, every group of friends has a handful of people respon-sible enough to have an account and everyone else dives on it like a bunch of vultures. The power you have as the account holder can be kind of fun, though. Next month, don’t pay your bill and see who all comes out of the woodwork. – JM

. . .

Books? Records? Cases? No Room!So now you can download video games and skip buying the discs and stuff too? Does everything exist as a digital format from the deepest parts of the internet now? It’s madness!

– M.H.

It’s totally madness. I suppose. Wave of the future, man. Still, I like the idea of having a physical copy of something. It’s probably because I’m old and remember what dial-up internet was. An era when books weren’t Kindles, iPods were Discmans and ESPN wasn’t on an Xbox. Wow, what a simpler time.

From the Couch

M y roommates and I had the brilliant idea of putting up a world map so we could put in pins of where we’d been.

This grew into putting up countless travel pictures and posters. Our living room looks like a semi-refined cultural mashup.Except when everything starts falling. Af-

ter a full package of sticky tack, some pic-ture hangers and nails (shh, don’t tell) and command strips, things still fall. Whenever I absentmindedly hit the wall while doing homework, the travel pins fall on my face.A poster of Austria is landing on my head

as I write this.Student decorators, be warned: take a pic-

ture of your room before the wall art starts tumbling down.

Decisions aren’t really your thing, are they?

S o with OU/Texas coming up this weekend it really gives me something to get excited about. It’s probably the most fun weekend of the year. Every year at the fair I go to the same beer

stand to drink before and after the game. I’ve taken up quite a relationship with the local beer server, Jennifer. I don’t really recall how I found out her name (prob-ably just asked her, I’m original like that) and since then we’ve been fast friends. She pours a wax paper cup faster and colder than anyone.

I’m still not sure what will happen with all this conference alignment stuff but I really hope we

continue our rivalry with Texas, no mat-ter how things shake out.

The Longhorns and all their fans are the most arrogant team in the coun-

try but that weekend is second to none as far as atmosphere goes, and I know a lot of people around here would be upset to see it go.It’s the only other game besides

the Georgia-Florida game with a 50/50 split in tickets. When you add the fair outside the stadium, it’s unbeatable in atmosphere.

See you in Dallas.Enjoy the issue.

>> The chances of survival are dwindling by the nanosecond.

Think back to your childhood. What was your favorite TV show or movie? When was the last time you watched it?

If it was recently, did you enjoy it? Did you find jokes in it you never got before? Or did you just smile at how childlike it was?

Most of us in this generation, for better or for worse, spent a sizable chunk of our childhood in front of a televi-sion set. We watched anything and everything, from VHS tapes to cartoons to taped made-for-TV movies.

These days, the film industry is trying to recapture that audience by adapting the shows of old to fit the adults that viewers have become. The result? Movies like The Smurfs (Raja Gosnell, 2011), Scooby Doo (also Gosnell, 2002) and Alvin and the Chipmunks (Tim Hill, 2007).

Though these movies received a lot of buildup in the weeks before they were released, box office ratings and critics’ reviews seem to show that they weren’t anything to write home about. Enough to merit a sequel (or “squeakuel,” in the case of Alvin and the Chipmunks), but, as it happens with sequels, they were in and out of theaters within a few weeks.

Most films of this trend are adaptations of cartoons into live-action movies, computer animated movies or a combination of both. The look is new, and so is the content, usually garnering at least a PG-13 rating to catch the eye of the (slightly) older audiences.

If given the choice, though, most of the viewers at whom these films are aimed would rather just go back and watch the movies or TV shows that they watched in their childhood again.

The difference between these types of films is, obviously, the target audience. That makes a tremendous difference, though.

The updated children’s films of today have, in their update, ceased to be children’s films. They are aimed at young adult audiences in their content and humor. At times, this is effective and leaves the theaters in laughter. At others, it makes the story and characters, originally designed for children, seem incongruous with the actual movie.

Older films were aimed at children, but creators knew adult audiences would also be watching. Grown-up people with grown-up wallets buy the movie tickets, and so they, too, have to be entertained without feeling that their child shouldn’t be there.

Obviously, not all children’s movies fit this category. But think about the ones that you continue to watch today. There are bound to be a few satirical or punny jokes, and at least a few themes to which adults can connect.

The industry is picking up on this trend as well. Recent children’s movies that have been successful have had traces of adult humor in their screenplays. Watch Tangled (Nathan Greno, 2010) again, and listen closely. While audi-ences are unlikely to cringe at anything inappropriate, the story keeps them alert enough to enjoy what is happening on the screen in front of them.

This goes for movies outside of fairy tale Disney love, as well. Rango (Gore Verbinski, 2011) was applauded for bringing an existential midlife crisis to an animated lizard.

The genre of children’s film has, like all others, its fair share of flops and hits, and ultimately movies are a matter of personal taste. But comparatively, those films that embrace a base of childhood material and branch upward to adult viewers, rather than appealing down to their past

childhood, are much more successful.

Growing UpDid our children’s movies survive adolescence, or just stay in the awkward years?

>> The ThingThis prequel to the 1982 movie with the same name follows paleontologists in Antarctica who discover an extraterrestrial creature. Frozen, preserved and assumed to be dead, they melt the ice around it. The monster wakes up and terrorizes the group, taking the shape of its victims, so that the humans are left with no one to trust.

>> FootlooseThe classic 80s movie musical is back, minus Kevin Bacon. This remake follows the same storyline of city slicker Ren McCormack moving to a small southern town and leading an uprising against the dance ban. The soundtrack and choreography are updated, but Ren still sports the skinny tie.

GirlsFather, Son, Holy Ghost

>> San Francisco band Girls recently released their second album, Father, Son, Holy Ghost.

Like their first album, titled Album, the dominant sound is still ‘60s pop with a little ga-rage rock in there. With Holy Ghost, Girls decided to prog-ress the sound a little further and cover even more territory. Each of the eleven songs on the record explores a different genre, and the influences are pretty easily apparent and vary song to song.

Girls is a great example of a band that consciously borrows music from others, but in a way that their music is still unique.

A very good second album. —released September 13, 2011

The KooksJunk of Heart

>> The Kooks, a British pop band, have been on a decline since their first album, 2006’s Inside In/Inside Out. Although it was one of the many Brit-

pop releases in the fad that seems to be dying down, it had enough catchy material to distinguish it enough from the rest.

2008’s Konk was allegedly the band’s “pop” album, mov-ing the sound a little closer to mainstream and smoothing out the edges. However, Junk of the Heart is even poppier than Konk, bringing into ques-tion what The Kooks are trying to do.

Their sound is no longer in-teresting, they’re just a band with a contractual obligation. —released September 12, 2011

WilcoThe Whole Love

>> Wilco first came on the scene in 1995, and over the course of seven albums, the group has experimented with many different sounds.

Primarily an alternative coun-try band, Wilco has played many genres: pop, stripped down acoustic folk and roots rock.

For their latest venture, The Whole Love, they recorded an album without trying to make it sound like anything in par-ticular. The result is an interest-ing listen and one of their best records in several years. It’s diverse, featuring songs that could fit on previous albums, but here, they fit together.—released September 20, 2011

Seattle band Fleet Foxes play to a sold out Tulsa crowd with an hour and a half of their folksy layered music.

Stuck in My Headw/Matt Parker

Whole Love JunkGirls progress their ‘60s pop sound, The Kooks may only be making music their label loves and Wilco puts together a diverse album.

Harmonious Omnivores

On their way to Austin City Limits, Fleet Foxes stopped by Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa to play a sold out show. Having only released two al-bums, the average band wouldn’t have much

material to choose from, let alone keep a headlining concert interesting for an hour and a half. However, Fleet Foxes isn’t your average band. Virtually every song they played not only lived up to the recordings, they surpassed them.

(If you get a chance to go to Cain’s, I highly recom-mend it. Pretty much every show has an impressive crowd that truly loves the band they’ve come to see. It’s an historic venue as well, so definitely check it out.)

The show sold out within a couple of months after the tickets went on sale, one of the faster selling events at Cain’s. Opening band, The Walkmen, who also headlined 2011’s Norman Music Festival, played a well-received mid-length set of their brand of minimal-ist rock.

Although many bands favor starting with a bang, Fleet Foxes started things off with “The Plains/Bitter Dancer,” a cut off of their second album, Helplessness Blues. Hardly a rocker, even for mellower standards, the first four minutes of “The Plains” mainly consists of

layers of dark and almost tribal vocal harmonies. You could say Fleet Foxes are a country band, but

today the term has gotten so far away from what it used to be that it wouldn’t be accurate. They have more of a wilderness-influenced, moody Americana sound.

The group performed equal amounts from 2008’s Fleet Foxes as well as Blues, and even threw in a new song that singer Robin Pecknold wrote a couple of weeks earlier. The crowd couldn’t have been more supportive. Pecknold even had to calm them down after he walked back onstage for the four-song encore.

The band ended the show with “Helplessness Blues,” the title track off their latest album. Probably the catchiest song the group has written so far, it was the perfect choice to end their set.

Although there are many bands right now who have a similar sound, none of them have reached the bar this group has set.

Why do people love this new revival of folk/Ameri-cana right now? Is it because we’ve have gotten tired of overprocessed music and Auto-Tune? Possibly. For whatever reason, neo-Americana is bigger than ever, with Fleet Foxes easily claiming the title of the best in the genre.

Romance

>> This just isn’t right.

by ElizabethAtherton

I’ve tackled a lot of relationship problems in my time with Boyd Street. And this issue is no different. We had several people write in with some pretty common relationship problems, so I thought we’d do a question

and answer session. And, if I say so myself, I think I helped a lot of people. (That’s the sound of me patting myself on the back.)

Gossip Boys? No.Dear Elizabeth, I’ve wondered this for a while and I don’t think I’m alone. Is there a reason why guys don’t talk about girls as much as girls talk about guys? They don’t seem interested in talking about us.

-Laura

Dear Laura,It seems like you’re hanging out with the wrong boys. If these guys struggle to not let their voice crack (read: too young), you might need some new love interests.

Guys DO talk about girls. I mean it’s not nearly as much as girls, but they do talk about us. The conversations about girls are much different than conversations girls are having with their besties over a swirl. But guys talk. Some guys talk more than you’d think (to other guys).

Why don’t they talk about girls in public as often, you ask? Well, I’d have to say it’s probably because guys have a bigger ego, they don’t want to broadcast the possibility of a broken heart and unlike girls, they simply will run out of things to talk about. I mean once they’ve covered bra size, hair color and overall single-worded description (cute)... they’re pretty much spent. Grunt.

Highway To The Friend ZoneDear Elizabeth, Help! Help! I’m in the friend zone and I can’t get out. He’s finally single and it’s my turn. How can I get his attention?

-Jill

Dear Jill,Be as unavailable as possible.

I’m assuming if you’re in the friend zone, he either likes you or is not at all in any way attracted to you (like, sister-ish). Let’s hope he likes you and has kept you as his friend in hopes of eventually turning it into something more. But if you think now is your moment, go for it. Just don’t act desperate. No one likes that.

Mommy DearestDear Elizabeth, My boyfriend is a momma’s boy. I’m not even joking. He talks to his mom every day and consults her for every single decision. She’ll even e-mail him what he should wear to school every day, along with weather updates.

We went to the same high school, and I knew he was like this when we started dating, but we’ve been together now for almost a year ... and it’s just getting worse.

Do I say something? It’s so annoying.-Sadie

Dear Sadie,Let’s put it this way. There should be one woman in a man’s life. You. I mean moms are awesome, especially if they’re nice, but your boyfriend can’t consult her for everything.

I don’t know what could’ve caused this problem, some scientist might say it has something to do with his baby formula or something. I don’t know.

I do know you should probably ask him about it (the weird bond, not the baby formula). Or if you really aren’t ready to let your relationship turn into a messed up form of Three’s Company, maybe chalk this one up to a loss.

The Once Per Issue Charity CaseDear Elizabeth, Please tell me if there’s a way to recover from a Friday night episode of drunk texting.

-Mitch

Dear Mitch,Listen man, I don’t know if this was a question. I think you were demanding an answer, but since only idiots don’t have enough control to not press “send” at inopportune times, I’m assuming you really do need my help. Let’s start at the problem. When you don’t want to drunk text someone, have your friend put a lock on your phone (a number combo or password only they know) and then tell them not to tell you what it is until the next day. Don’t worry, 9-1-1 still works. OR if your friend fails to keep the secret and spills because he/she wants to watch you squirm over your 50 “Commm-mme over nohw. Pantzz prty?” text messages, then all you can do is apologize and redeem yourself with something sophisticated. Start wearing a robe to class over your silk pajamas, smoke a pipe on your porch every day at noon, bring The Great Gatsby to Seven47 for dark corner reading and blare Mozart until the cops are called. Eventually word will get around that you’re a classy guy.

By this point, most of our readers are probably either actively playing games like FarmVille, Mafia Wars and Words With Friends, or have long since blocked

these app invites from ever seeing the light of day on their Facebook pages. However, main-stream gaming developers and other companies have caught on to the idea that there are plenty of people out there that will play games on social media platforms (and will even pay real money to do so), so more of these game invites are likely to be on the way, for better or worse.

Social network gaming is becoming a huge deal, partly because the simplicity and accessi-bility of these games appeals to people outside the traditional “gamer” demographic, and partly because it allows people to use their networks of friends to accomplish more within the game world. There is also the potential to make lots of money off of these games, like allowing players to reach upgrades or advance through the ranks faster by paying actual money to get in-game

“virtual currency” to buy upgrades.However, the social gaming plat-

form has been the site of a lot of derision from detractors, as

well as some particu-larly messy lawsuits. Zynga, one of the largest social gaming

developers, has taken plenty of credit (and blame) for the advent of the social gaming phenomenon. Aside from ir-ritating many Facebook users with persistent re-quests from friends to join its games, many have criticized Zynga for making low-quality games, many of which are very similar to one another.

Attempts to exchange virtual currency for com-pleting sponsor offers largely backfired, resulting in significant criticism and legal action.

However, concerns about va-riety within the social gaming realm are quickly being answered, in part by major companies getting in on the action.

Many game developers have started to dip their toes in, partly to tie in with their major console and PC releases. EA, in particular, has taken to the social media realm, with their most recent big name game, The Sims Social. Since its public beta release to Facebook on Au-

gust 9, it has become the second-most popular Facebook game, surpass-ing FarmVille. In context, it’s a logical addition to the library of

Facebook games, considering it allows players to create their own Sims to interact with their

friends’ Sims, giving it a true “so-cial” aspect. It still allows for micro-

transactions to change your Sim’s personality or physical appearance after initial creation, but these sorts of virtual transactions are becoming more prevalent in mainstream gaming as well. Other games have traveled to the social plat-forms, such as Rovio Mobile’s smash hit, Angry Birds, which was adapted for Google Plus.

The largest complaint by non-players, the spamming of app invites, has largely been worked around. Facebook allows users to block invitations, while Google Plus puts their games in a separate tab.

The realm of social gaming is changing and refining itself, as all ideas must over time. One concern that these developers might have is that eventually, the idea of social media itself may change again, and that developers will have to adapt to whatever the new gold stan-dard becomes. However, the fact that these sorts of ideas have taken off in the first place

shows that these companies know how to create new ideas and adapt to a point. Whether it

can last long-term, however, is still uncertain.

>> Giant alien robots and a space laser? No pressure.

Games by AJLansdale

>> Tired of fighting zom-bies in shopping malls, casinos and Nazi-occupied Europe? How about a change of pace? The basic premise of Dead Is-land is hotel employee, a rap star, a former NFL player and a disgraced cop try to rescue the remaining survivors of a zombie outbreak and escape a tropical island.

Dead Island shares similari-ties with both Dead Rising and Left 4 Dead, but could have used a lot of polish before it went gold. Frequent bugs, uneven graphics and a weak story plague the game.

It’s still fun enough, but don’t expect to be blown away.

Survival HorrorDead Island

FPSResistance 3>> The Resistance trilogy is a series of first-person shooters set in an alternate timeline that reaches its conclusion in 1957.

This installment of the trilogy follows player character, Joseph Capelli. He is tasked with closing a wormhole that ultimately kills off humanity.

Resistance 3 isn’t like its predecessors, leaning more towards survival horror. Health no longer regen-erates automatically, making this game more challenging.

If you liked previous games and don’t mind a slight shift into Dead Space territory, you’ll like this one.

Roomates and sorority sisters Allison Lowry and Taylor FitzGerrell, both pre-law seniors, aren’t strangers to sharing their space. After living

together in the sorority house and realizing their interests and expectations comple-ment each other, these girls have tried the roomie thing again, along with Lowry’s four pound maltipoo, Mia. Settled into a three bedroom townhouse,

Lowry and FitzGerrell have made the space their own. The girls turned their unused third bedroom into a study hall, complete with fridge, coffee maker and ample room to spread out their hulking study materials.“This room has everything we need for

marathon LSAT study sessions,” FitzGerrell said. Both girls are self-described neat freaks and

it’s evident in their spotless rooms. FitzGerrell’s getaway is simple but cozy.

She didn’t have to find furniture because one of Lowry’s previous roommates left hers behind, making it easier to put her own touches on the bedroom.Lowry’s upstairs suite shows her modern

taste with a slight vintage feel, thanks to

black and white art on the walls. Her fa-vorite part, though, is the oversized closet with lots of room for categorized clothes and shoes.“I love my closet because it’s perfect for

keeping my clothes and accessories orga-nized,” says Lowry.By the time this issue comes out, the

LSAT will be behind them and Lowry and FitzGerrell will be back to their usual social lives and Golden Girls marathons.With most of the seasons on DVD, these

girls enjoy a lazy Sunday in front of the tv watching the shenanigans of Rose, Dorothy, Blanche and Sophia.Obviously FitzGerrell and Lowry have big

plans for the future, but for now, they’re looking forward to life without the LSAT.

Queens of their Domain:FitzGerrell and Lowry have, in their opinion, the best view of a local drug store ever!

Hunker Down: This third bedroom turned study hall has all the necessities in case of an all nighter.

Dual Purpose: The t-shirt quilt hanging in the living room serves as a reminder of the fun times and keeps the girls warm on cold nights, too.

Simplicity: Lowry loves her modern, simple bedroom retreat, especially the pops of turquoise she chose to add color.

Memories: FitzGerrell uses her bulletin board to pin up favorite pictures and mementos.

Plush Digs: Lowry’s maltipoo Mia has a room of her own, complete with a fluffy pink blanket.

Continuity: Lowry’s color scheme continues into her spotless bathroom.

Some-thing Borrowed: FitzGerrell may be bor-rowing the furniture in her room, but she’s made it her own with art and accessories.

Food&Drink By AlexBacon

Due to my previously mentioned drinking injuries, I got a late start on tail-gating this year. Thankfully for me, we had three weeks between home games to start the season. Don’t you worry though, I definitely made up for my week one absence.

With the hot Mexican sun presumably leaving for the coming winter, prime tail-gating season is upon us, for reals. Let’s be honest, it’s a lot more fun to drink when you’re not sweating your a** off.

So, what does that mean for you, the faithful, drunken football fan? More drink-ing, duh! The beauty of the tailgate booze buffet is the staggering number of op-tions an enthusiastic drinker has at their disposal. Especially with the late games, you have all day to decide the type of drunk you want to be come kickoff. It’s truly

the best “choose your own adventure” story ever (Please tell me you youngin’s know what I’m talking about ...).

Of course, you can stick to beer if you like to keep it boring and easy on your-self, but where’s the fun in filling yourself up on beer all day? I know, I don’t like the thought of drinking that much Bud Light either. And seriously, neither of our a**es need the empty calories. I just don’t know why you’d do that to yourself.

If you really want to make the most of game day, it’s time to hit the cabinet, becasuse to quote the great Jim Lahey, “It’s all liquor, Bubbles, and it’s all hard.”

Elsewhere on this page are a few recipes to clear last night’s hangover. If you need a caffeine pick-me-up, pull out the last issue and jam on some of those cof-fee cocktails. I know it’s still in your bathroom somewhere.

Will It Get Me Drunk? Uhhh, yes it will. In our continuing quest to find innovative ways to get drunk, we fair magazine folk took to the tailgate tent to sample some drinks. I mean, we were gonna be drinking anyway ...

>> Bourbon & Spicy Ginger SodaDrink like a southern gentleman with this twist on whiskey and ginger ale. Admittedly, whiskey and ginger ale is not one of my favorite drinks (except for Crown and ginger ale, which oddly enough I don’t care for independently of one another), but this is a different breed of drunk cat. Leave the Canada Dry at home for this one. And also, it might behoove you to make the syrup the night before.

>> Rum Cider

There are myriad ways to go about making alcoholic cider. This one’s a pretty basic recipe which leaves plenty of wiggle room if you want to experiment with adding other flavors or spices. If it tickles your fancy, the internet is full of ridiculous options. On a cold game day, this drink will warm you up on your road to getting wasted.

>> Freskey

For those of you that would rather skip the prep and jump straight into booze country, try this guy out. Given that this past summer was the summer of Frescanzia, it seems only fitting to keep the delightful mixer around till it gets too cold outside. If it’s an early game feel free to hold off on the whiskey and get a little boxed white wine in your life to wet your whistle before moving on to the harder stuff. It’s pretty much better than any bloody Mary, mimosa, srcewdriver, etc. in the morning if you ask me. Which you didn’t, but I’m telling you anyway.

To Make Ginger syrup• 1/2 c. fine sugar• 1/2 c. water• 1/4 lb. ginger root, peeled & finely grated

Combine in a small pot and bring to boil. Turn the heat off and let cool for an hour. Strain the ginger out and store the syrup.

The Cocktail• 3 oz. bourbon (Evan Williams Black is good for the budget conscious)• 1 tbsp. ginger syrup• 2 oz. soda water• 2 thin peach slices (apple or pear work as well)

Over ice, add bourbon and syrup. Toss in fruit slices and top with soda water. Gently stir, get drunk.

• 1 apple• 2 tsp. whole cloves• 1 orange, thinly sliced• 2 quarts apple cider (apple juice works just as well)• 1/2 c. brown sugar• 1 tsp. allspice• Pinch of grated nutmeg• 1 c. rum (spiced or dark, whichever you prefer• Cinnamon sticks

Stud the apple with cloves. Combine ingredients (save the rum) and apple in a pot. Bring to a sim-mer and let it simmer for ten minutes. Remove from heat and add rum. Garnish with a couple cinimmon sticks and you’re ready to party.

• Whiskey• Fresca

I prefer a healthy pour of whiskers myself, but I’ll leave the proportions to your boozy discretion. Cheers, kids!

Speaking of Sports By AlEschbach

It wasn’t a defining moment for the program. But it very well could be one for this season.

Beating top-ten ranked teams on the road in nonconference games is no easy chore. Especially when you have a target on your back that says you are the No. 1 team in the country. This was the biggest game for Florida State in years. Tallahassee was going bon-

kers. Everyone there was hoping that late Saturday night they could say that their Seminoles were back to the good ol’ days of the ‘90s. That’s when they were finishing in the top five in the country every year.

Florida State was good. However, not good enough. Why? Because this Oklahoma team has “special” written all over it.

You would have thought this was a Southeastern Conference game. Players were flying all over the field. Yeah there was some pretty good offense. But this was a game all about defense. And that’s why this Sooner team has a chance to go all the way.

Coming into the campaign we knew the Sooner offense would be high powered. There are play makers all over the place. And you have a quarterback who is in his fourth year of college. Nice to have a little maturity at that critical position.

No one really knew just how good the defense was going to be. People got darn-right nervous about this unit. There was the tragic death of Austin Box. Then Travis Lewis, the Big 12 Conference preseason pick for defensive player of the year, gets hurt. He wasn’t supposed to come back until the Texas encounter. And then there were the rumors of defensive end Ronnell Lewis being sidelined because of academic woes.

Just how good is this defense?If that game against Florida State is any indication, it has a chance to be really good. This is a

unit with a lot of speed. And against the talented Seminoles they played with a mission. It was one of the most physical efforts by an Oklahoma defense in years.

That’s why the Sooners could be dominant this year. It appears they play defense like an Alabama or a LSU and play offense with the best of them.

Obviously there’s a really long way to go. It’s just four games into the season and they relaxed against Mizzou. However, this team looks like it has all the ingredients for a championship club.

“I was at the practices the week before the Florida State game and I never saw anything like it,” said former Sooner fullback J.D. Runnells. “They were all business. They were so intense every minute of the practices. You could tell they were really fired up for this game. You can tell that this is a very close team. And they also have some great leadership.”

All during the spring and summer you got the feeling from Bob Stoops and his coaching staff that this team had a chance to be really good. Stoops really liked the talent he was surrounded by. And he continually praised their work ethic.

Right now there doesn’t appear to be a glaring weakness. Sure Jimmy Stevens gets you a tad nervous when he trots out there to kick a field goal. But do you know what? He’s getting the job done. He’s been extremely consistent. And that’s what you have to have. He’s made some really big kicks.

And the injury bug could bite. If Jones goes down with an injury, there would be major problems. The junior from New Mexico made plays when he had to in the fourth quarter. That’s what championship teams have to do in the big games.

There are going to be a few more close encounters this year. Late last year the Sooners went into Stillwater and beat a really good Oklahoma State squad. Now they go into Tallahassee and topple the Seminoles. No one is complaining these days that they can’t go on the road and beat a very good team.

Things can change week to week. But right now Oklahoma fans have to be dreaming about an eighth national championship. And it certainly is a realistic dream.

The Chase for EightDoes this Sooner defense have what it takes to bring home Oklahoma’s eighth title?
