Default Re: Oklahoma's football players will be a lot easier to indentify this season

I have to say, I'm a rather large OSU fan, but I don't bash upon any of the other teams. I understand the interstate rivalry, and it's great, but I just wish people could leave it at that one day.

As per the jersey topic, from what I can recall from Stoops pre season press conference last year was something to the effect of he wanted the players not to worry about the name on the back of the jersey because everyone in college was getting to the point it was all about names, not the teams. The game is a team sport, you may have 1 star player, but if you don't have the rest of the team to support him, he will never be any good.

I.E. if A. Peterson didn't have the offensive line he had, he wouldn't have been able to do anything. Then if OSU didn't have the line they had, Reid wouldn't have been able to pull of what little success (I'm a Wood's fan, made a mistake putting Reid at QB) he had last year in the season either. Any way you look at it, I like no names on the jersey, it makes you look at the bigger picture,the actual team. Heaven forbid you may have to actually "know" the numbers on your favorite team that you are so "die hard" about.
