On the Journey

Thrill of Victory… and agony of Defeat

Tough game last night for the Sooners. They didn’t have the same mojo that was present the last 8 games. Florida had a lot to do with that. But two trips inside the 5 yard line with no points and two additional drives inside the 20 with nothing will pretty much guarantee a loss. 5 straight losses in BCS bowl games is a real drag right now for the program. Oklahoma is the winningest team in the last ten years among all college teams, but has lost the ability to win the Big game. The agony of defeat. Ugh. 

It pains me, but I now must move Florida into a tie or at least a close second with USC for the best team of the decade. See the updated post here, which I am sure will create some controversy among all the rabid college football fans out there. Congrats to Florida and their team and coaches. They seem to be a class act. And to all the Florida fans who now have ample reason to talk trash.

Brad,

sorry about your loss with the Sooners. Tough game.

I’m writing because I love what you do with Catalyst, and I run a sports/faith blog called Prayers For Blowouts. We explore the frequent collisions of sports and faith.

One of our most popular features is a sports survey that we give to notable Christians to see if they love sports as much as we do. We’ve had don miller, brian mclaren, mark batterson, anne jackson, and a whole bunch of other folks take the survey, and we’d love to have you take it too.

Here’s who has taken the Sports Survey

if you’re interested, shoot me an email and I can send it to you. If not, that’s cool…have a great day!

Bryan
