The Adventures of Soonerguy
The early morning air hangs heavy over the Blue Ridge Mountains of West Virginia. Crickets still sing dimly in the dark over the quiet murmur of Lake Puskarhootchie. Birds chirp. Frogs croak. But suddenly another sound breaks the calm atmosphere.
“Whoop! Whoop!”
This is no whooping crane, nor is it a West Virginia Highway Patrol Car pulling over a rowdy tailgater dragging his muffler from the back of his 1979 Chevy 4×4 pickup.

They might have put up 50 had they been able to hold onto to the ball and played smarter.
As it was, the Bears capitalized on OU’s mistakes and beat the Sooners for the second year in a row.
