I said this last year when Nichols Lost the starting job, he aint staying and looks like I was right on, It sucks to lose a guy, but lets all be honest once bradford cemented the job last season and halzle ensured he was the  backup, nichols musta felt a bit wasted at OU he probably wasn't gonna play at least not for a few seasons, he still has a redshirt year left, and with the newest QB recruit for OU looking at least as good as nichols why stay? I wish him the best but I am not surprised

below is the article with the details.

1. Chattanooga at Oklahoma, Aug. 30: What in the world is Oklahoma doing playing Chattanooga, which has had just four winning seasons since 1988? The Mocs were 2-9 last season. In the past 20 seasons, the Mocs are 0-19 vs. Division I-A foes, losing those games by an average margin of 34 points per game. Only one of those games was decided by fewer than 14 points. Hey, perhaps OU folks figured a blowout of a bad I-AA team to open the season will erase some of the bad taste still remaining from the Fiesta Bowl beatdown administered by West Virginia.

I see in the Daily that the Sooners are going to give the spread a shot. Sounds good to me, Texas Tech and West Virginia sure made mincemeat out of a pretty good Sooner defense using it. Might as well see if it will work for us. Anything to avoid another embarrassment like we witnessed in person the last two yrs in Glendale.

OU played SMU Sunday afternoon and lost the contest 15-4.  SMU scored 5 unanswered points in the first quarter.  The Sooners started out scoreless in the first quarter but picked up the pace in the second and third quarters.

The Sooners return home this weekend to play against Kansas State University.  The teams will play Saturday at 1 p.m. at the intramural fields on Jenkins.  Kansas State is 1-3 so far on the season.  Weather conditions are expected to be ideal for play on Saturday- sunny, with the high in the high 60s.  It should be a great day for Sooner fans to come out and enjoy some great lacrosse play.

NORMAN, Okla. -- The University of Oklahoma has named Leeanne Crain as the first head coach of its new rowing program. Crain has spent the last four seasons as head coach at the University of Central Florida, following a 10-year stint as coach at the University of San Diego.

Crain's appointment was announced Wednesday by OU Vice President for Sports Programs and Athletics Director Joe Castiglione. Oklahoma's varsity women's rowing program will begin competing in the spring of 2009.

"Today's announcement underlines the importance of rowing as a new varsity sport at OU," said University President David L. Boren. "Coach Crain has established herself as one of the best rowing coaches in the nation. As the new team is being put together, we will also soon begin construction on the new Aubrey McClendon OU Boathouse along the race course of the Oklahoma River in Oklahoma City."

The new coach appreciates her selection as the inaugural coach, especially in the Oklahoma City market."

"I am thrilled to be given this tremendous opportunity as the first head coach of the women's rowing program at the University of Oklahoma," Crain said. "There is so much excitement in the rowing community over the revitalization of Oklahoma City's Bricktown and the rowing venue that is being planned along the riverfront. I am grateful to Joe Castiglione for his trust in my abilities to build a national championship rowing program at OU. I am anxious to get underway."

DE John Williams just got another year of eligiblity, which is a good thing because he looked very good prior to his season ending injury
below is a link to the story. I think this helps in shoreing up OU's defensive line situation, and will compliment well with austin english on the other end, (remember the Miami game?) good stuff.

D.J. Wolfe was announced as a all Hairmerican on the blog house rock built, go to link to see the full transcript, but heres wolfes blurb.
D.J. Wolfe, Oklahoma (Mr. T Award)

"I think the "Mr. T Award" is self-explanatory. Wolfe busted out this exotic number during the Big 12 Championship game and spent the rest of the evening pitying Chase Daniel for being a fool."
