It’s time for Sooner leader to emerge

by

Two things come to mind going into Saturday’s OU-Kansas State game:

1) This is a game where leadership needs to emerge; and 2) this is a game where fan support needs to go nuts.

Everyone is undefeated.

Even the thought of cool fall evenings at the stadium provides a brief respite from the reality of those 100-degree temps outside.

But six years ago this week, some of that “good feel” was seriously deflated when Oklahoma’s 2006 season was turned on its head before it even started.

That was when Coach Bob Stoops dismissed starting QB Rhett Bomar for Big Red Imports-gate.
