Re: The Rise

THERE'S ONLY ONE OKLAHOMA!! (and one TD)

Tough loss against such a great team but that must be a morale boost to slow down such a high powered offense.

Re: The Rise

Hi again! I feel like I've made this post about three times in the past 2-plus years, but here we go again with a revival. Most of my game reports died with a website, but I think I got them all back up (except for one I saved over, oops)....so here we go again!

Re: The Rise

Nice! I’m not sure what triggered it, but I thought to myself once in the past week that I haven’t seen you around in awhile. Always enjoyed your work!

I myself have been off and on over the past two years, so I understand the struggle of getting back into it.

Tough L on the first game back on the sticks. But at least you get a rivalry game against Air Force next week.

Yeah, it's hard to keep on track for sure. Our CPU-controlled defense did us no good to start and having to pass to win is not our strong suit at all, so it was a rough return.

Air Force should be a good one. They share the same record as us and it's always a big game.
