OU Prez Demands Asterisk for Remaining Games

NORMAN, OKLA. (SP) -- University of Oklahoma President David Boren today sent a letter to Big 12 Commissioner Kevin Weiberg demanding that the remaining games on Oklahoma's schedule be played with an asterisk denoting the Sooners played the game without running back Adrian Peterson.

It's the second letter Weiberg has received from Boren this season. Following a controversial loss to Oregon, Boren fired off a letter demanding that the game be "stricken from the records."

"Oklahoma would have been the favorite in its remaining games against Colorado, Missouri, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Baylor and Oklahoma State with Adrian Peterson in the line-up. Assuming these teams don't want to outright forfeit the games, it is the belief of the University of Oklahoma that the outcome of the games should be marked with an asterisk," Boren wrote.

Boren adds that the footnote should explain that the Sooners "played the game with a little Mexican replacing the greatest running back in school history."

Anyone who doesn't realize now that the Sooner football program has been cursed for the Southern Cal debacle, probably doesn't believe that the dead can come back and sort things out.

Bastards.

Exactly Coach.

But don't forget that I was the one who first got the information from The Lord that the Sooners would be cursed forever. I mean The Lord was totally put off by the Sooners' performance against the Trojans.

Today's proof of the curse? Rufus Alexander!

I'm starting to think you're right. If the Sooners lose to Okie State at the end of the year I think we'll have conclusive proof that God exists and He hates the Sooners.
