The Bob Stoops show with Dean Blevins...

[bdshull2001]

I was going to make some notes of the high lights but got distracted. Here are a couple that I do remember and please join in if you watched it. I assume they will be repeated during the regular presser tomorrow....

Bob said we had only three missed tackles the whole game. Wow, great news.

Gave some love to Will Johnson, the new starting nickel.

Commented on at least two great blocks by Shep.

Did mention the breakdown on the first KSU pass where the receiver was wide open and the ball was over thrown. Need to correct.

Devante Bond should be full strength this week. Will see how it works out during practice.


My words here, I think we have been really blessed on injuries this year. Bond has been our biggest. Ty, Alvarez and Smallwood are the only others I can think of.

First game I attended in Norman was Bedlam '75 the game when Deano went down with a 'groin' and we lost. Fortunately it was the resulted in a great run of incredible Wishbone years.

Is he still a miserable big-mouth? I know, love him or not he's family...

IA, I don't think that was 75. The only loss in that NC season was the very strange game against KU. Maybe 76?

I may be wrong but in 1975 didn't OU lose to Kansas and
I believe Nolan Cromwell was the QB for Kansas. And
OU won the NC that year. I may need help on this one.

Yep, we lost to Kansas in '75 @ Norman 23-3, thought all was lost until the bowls where #1 and #2 got beat early in the day and we 'backed into' our title game with Michigan.

Beat Michigan 14-6, natty title #5.

Thanks Plaino for reminding me; yes it was '76. Soonerstats has confirmed the date, the Deano bedlam loss in Norman was 1976, iasooner charged with first count of senility.... Thanks to JC & his bandanna coming to OUr rescue!

I think that '76 OSU team featured Terry Miller at halfback. A lot of people forget him because of Thurman Thomas and Barry Sanders, but Terry Miller was very good.

You're right, Terry Miller was very good...OU good in fact, wish we had got him.
Timing is everything, Thomas and Sanders just steam rolled him down the depth chart.

It happens.

Actually, Thurman and Barry didn't grace the pasture also know as Lewis Field until the mid to late 80s.

Thanks Tulsan, after I typed that out I was thinking different era perhaps.

Too lazy to correct and just let someone else do it for me...

Sometimes it's easier to apologize than to do the right thing in the first place...

Like a very wise man recently said....it happens.

Wasn't Thurman and Sanders on the same team for a year? Maybe that's what the fit was talking about.....Memories fade....

One season for sure. I was at Lewis Field in '88 the year Barry ran wild, and Pat Jones STILL figured out a way to give the game to Mike Gaddis and our Sooners.

Deano is a Sooner, but damn he sure can make a broadcast awkward.

What sticks out the most to me is a game against Tulsa when Ronnell was a sophomore or junior and Mean Dean spent the entire broadcast making comments and remarks about Ronnell's physique. I was watching the game with my folks and a friend and we were just looking at each other like, "WTF!".
