Premium Member Legend of the Red October Run
Dedicated to the 2000 National College Football Champions, the Oklahoma Sooners 

--------------------------------------------------------------

Over fifty years, boy and man, I’ve been a Sooners fan
Watched and reveled in their glories, every one;
But there’s no more glorious “Sooner Magic” 
Than the Red October Run.

The new millennium's first football season,
Excited...

Premium Member The Sooner Recruit
Fifty years, boy and man, I’ve been a Sooners fan;
And watched thousands of recruits try to make my Sooners Team.
Often, I’ve enviously wondered what it must be like
To be a touted Sooners recruit, living out his dream.

He’d had a great career through high school;
Made good...

Premium Member Bio In Short
It's been a good run
To the back side of sixty,
The short side of time.

First Hollywood kiss
Behind a pink crepe myrtle.
Thanks, Patsy Werner.

High school was okay.
Didn't help me to focus;
So, my mind wandered.

Surfed Bonzai Pipeline,
Big waves break into lava.
What made me do it?

Vietnam jungles.
I wondered why...

Premium Member Sooner Magic
Dedicated to the Oklahoma Sooners & Saint Barry Switzer

-------------------------------------------------

Fifty years, boy & man, I’ve been a Sooner Fan;
And, like others, I’ve wondered many times:
Just what is Sooner Magic?
Is it real…or only in our minds?

Sooner Magic has won many games
And has even saved some seasons.
Fans always...

Premium Member Football Potpourri (A Souper Collaboration)
Switching channels, trying to stay on top
Mannings and Favre are the cream of the crop

Afraid to miss a single great play
Is this how a lady should spend her Sunday?

Vikings fans stand up and cheer
Purple and gold are winning this year

Look like dem Saints gonna 'Brees'...

Sooner Nation
The Oklahoma Sooners are my favorite team.
  There school colors are crimson and cream.

  They can run a ball and score real high.
    Make the other team fumble and cry.

Premium Member Mike Stoops Meets the Crimson Banshee
Aye, Mikey, the Banshee's wailin'.
Closer.  Ever closer.  Spurred by your fears.
And the wailin'; oh, the wailin'.
What to do?  What to do?  The Banshee's drawin' near.

Nay, past deeds are no salvation.
'Tis your fate, Mikey, all but sealed.
And the wailin'; oh, the wailin'.

Premium Member Do You Believe?
Do you honestly believe?
Look deep into your soul,
The magic we seek is like gold.
I truly believe,
As if it was foretold.
The stories of old,
Look and behold,
Listen to your heart,
There are many that disregard,
Yet, our destiny has shown us to believe indeed.
Our Sooner magic,
It must be perceived,
So,...

Holiday Phone Calls,
Bah Humbug!
Written: by Tom Wright
12/3/2014

“Out of area” our machine’s voice did say,
Or “800 SVC” announced in her special way.
The screen displays names I seldom know,
Oft times some politician just wanting to blow;
A Sheriff or Fire fighter who’s group needs cash,
Or John 3:16 in...

Watch the game just before dinner.
Come on people lets hear some roar's.
