Congratulations, Tide!

It's good to see Crimson at the top, even if it isn't us. It doesn't look like we'll be joining you at the big dance this year :frown: but good luck to the Tide the rest of the way.

Thanks. We were pulling for you hard yesterday...

Thanks opk! Sorry things didn't work out yesterday and hope Bradford is able to have a complete recovery and lead OK to lots of W's next year.

This is Bradford's last year.

Thanks opksooner...was pulling for you guys as well.
Really hate it for Bradford. Just wasn't meant to be for the Sooners this year it seems.

:BigA:All of us were sad to see what happened to Bradford. He is a great kid and our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family. When he said that he did not know why but he is sure that this is part of Gods plan for his life. Heady stuff for a kid to say. They are role models and he is a good one.:BigA:

This is Bradford's last year.

Thanks to all for the good wishes. Sam won the Heisman as a sophomore so if he chose he could come back for another year. Hypothetically, he could probably even make a heck of case to the NCAA for an injury year. OTOH, he could just decide to have the surgery now and rehab for the draft which might be the smart thing to do, so Mamacalled is probably right. It's a shame it ended this way.

This could be Bradford's last year.

Fixed it hehe . he still has a year of eligibility left. Still you are most likely right.

Sorry for both of your losses yesterday. I was pulling for OU it off and I feel they would have had Bradford not gone down. I wish him a speedy recovery and OU the best of luck in the remainder of the season.

The best place I've been treated as a visiting fan was Oklahoma!! Vandy and Kentucky don't count. They aren't cosidered away games as we have as many fans as they do.

This is Bradford's last year.

He's just a redshirt junior, he still has one more year, but you are probably right, assuming he has surgery and doesn't play for the rest of this year. I doubt he'll come back to OU next year.

Thanks, opk! I know it's been a hard luck season so far for you guys, but here's hoping you finish strong.

Boomer Sooner and Roll Tide! :Joker_PDT_43:

Bradford to Have Surgery

OU quarterback hopes to enter NFL Draft

Oct. 25, 2009

NORMAN, Okla. - Oklahoma quarterback Sam Bradford announced today that he will undergo season-ending shoulder surgery.

Noted surgeon Dr. James Andrews will perform the operation Wednesday in Birmingham, Ala.

"I dreamed about coming to Oklahoma my whole life," Bradford said. "That's the reason I came back for this season. And I came back to play, not sit on the bench. That's the reason I tried to play after the injury. I'm very disappointed that it didn't work out differently.

"Under these circumstances, and after talking to several people, this is the right thing for me to do at this point."

Hate to see him leave, but it's probably the best thing for himself and his family. I think Sam will be playing on sundays for a quite a while...:smile:
