A year ago our two teams were getting ready to start the season against each other. As I recall, neither fan base doubted Jacob's abilities, but questions arose concerning his readiness to assume the mantle of control.

Now he is a legitimate Heisman candidate.

And your team has a good claim to a position in the top twenty-five ... perhaps high up into it.

The congeniality of your fans, especially the mother of a certain lineman, made me a fan of Bowling Green. I hope you shock the nation ( I won't be all that surprised) by a win at Wisconsin, and then go on to win the rest.

Who knows when or if OU and Bowling Green will meet again in a regular season game. I guess the best we can hope for is a rematch in a bowl game. Let's hope it happens soon and that it's a good one.

Thanks John... how 'bout Pasadena in January?

TG1996, Even though the last two BCS national championship games have not been too kind to us, I'd go for that.

Golfer John:

It was nice of you to stop by.

So many of your fans were so gracious last year, both here on AZZ.com and -- judging from the reports I heard from fans who made the trip -- there in Norman.

It's really impressive. I very much regret not making the trip to Norman myself.

Also, I think the overall graciousness of Sooner fans like yourself serves as a fine example for us to try to follow

I also hope our programs have a chance to meet again.

Thanks John, Good luck to the Sooners as well. You are the best team in the country as long as it is not a championship game

I went to the game last year along with three other bandies, and we loved the experience. Your fans were so friendly and welcoming, and we received a lot of compliments on our team's game and good wishes for the rest of the season on our walk back to the van.

I was already a Sooners fan because my grandma went to OU, and she and my grandpa have had football season tickets for as long as I can remember. We have pictures of me as a toddler in Sooners gear, hehe. My experience at the game last year, however, cemented my status as an OU fan.

Boomer Sooner!!
