Sacrilege in the SEC writes another chapter of Sooner Magic
SEC! SEC! SEC!….Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
With tongue firmly planted in cheek, that is what I started yelling when Zach Sanchez intercepted the ball in the second over time last Saturday night against the Tennessee Volunteers. It was just so satisfying to again beat the almighty SEC for the third straight year. This time in front of 105,000 screaming SEC fans in a true road game.
Once again Stoops and the boys stood up and declared the SEC is not all that. Early in game week you could tell this one would be a heated contest. Bob Stoops innocently enough answered a question that apparently riled up Volunteer fans.
He was asked what effect playing in front of 105,000 fans at storied Neyland Stadium might have on his team. His answer was basically we play in front of full stadiums almost every week. And we’ve been on the road at Notre Dame and Florida St. in front of huge angry crowds and have won . So he didn’t think it would be an issue.
