Go Pokes!!!! 

This was posted on ESPN.... Cute!! 

Twas the night before Bedlam and all through the house,

not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.

The crimson and cream were hung by the front door with care

in hopes a Sooner victory soon would be there. 

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,

Boomer Sooner sprang from his bed to see what was the matter.

Away to his front door he flew like a flash,

tore open the dead bolt, threw open the latch.

 

And what to his wondering eyes did appear,

but two small trick or treaters with their eyes full of cheer.

This first one wore 7, and other 82.

They were dressed in bright orange right down to their shoes.

 

They took Boomer's candy and fled out of sight.

They stole OU's ranking with OSU might.

Boomer woke from his nightmare, oh what a fright.

It was just a bad dream on Halloween, Right? 

The next morning Boomer was up with a bound.

He dresses up in Crimson and drove across town.

He got to the stadium, electricity in the air.
The Sooner and Cowboys, BEDLAM WAS THERE!!!

 

More rapid than eagles, the Cowboys they came,

as Les shouted on Tatum, on Rashaun we're winning the game!

And so up on the scoreboard the points all flew.
The Cowboys too many and Sooners too few. 

The game was all over in a flash of an eye,

poor Sooners didn't know that our Tatum could fly.

Second leading rusher going into the game,
leading Heisman candidate when out he came. 

Poor Boomer went home with his head hung low.

His pride and his spirit broken for the third year in a row.

The promise of OU's defense of fright

had gasped and sputtered like Boomer's dream on Halloween night. 

 

 For all of you Sooners with championship dreams

remember Boomer's nightmare, remember his screams.

It was the same thing that happened in '01 and '02.
Twas the night after Bedlam and the Sooners were all through!!!!

Buffy, I have the same reaction, but from 180 degrees different point of view.

There are times that I just can't watch a close game, especially when OU is playing the Pokes (otherwise known as Moo U).

These Bedlam games have tended to be close, even dating back to 1946, when Bobby Fenimore led Oklahoma A&M to victory over the magnificent Sooners by a fairly close score.

Then next year, OU paid the Aggies back, 73 - 0. Not too close.

But they're usually good ball games. OU didn't hold up its side last year. I hope for better results this year.
