Fiverings Attends Oklahoma Sooners Spring Game

I had the pleasure of attending the Oklahoma Sooners spring game in Norman on Saturday. The weather was partly cloudy with winds continuously gusting to approximately 30 MPH. The winds made it tough on the QB's and Kickers. There were 6 INT's thrown by the QB's. 3 INT's by starter Sam Bradford. Bradford did throw a beautiful TD pass to TE Germaine Gresham , who made a beautiful over-the-shoulder catch in full stride. Many passes were overthrown or underthrown because of the intense straight winds all afternoon. Freshman running back Justin Johnson from Gilmer, TX looks like he will be a good workhorse for the Sooners as he displayed some good power and speed during some of his runs. The offense is at a disadvantage this early in drills and the defense took advantage of that during the game.

The game was attended by many former Sooners as well as Baltimore Ravens QB, Steve McNair and country music singer and big-time OU fan, Toby Keith. Former Sooners on hand for the game were Safety Roy Williams ( Dallas Cowboys), Jamaal Brown ( New Orleans Saints), Davin Joseph (Tampa Bay Bucs), Travis Wilson ( Cleveland Browns), Reggie Smith (2008 Draft), DJ Wolfe (2008 Draft), Allen Patrick (2008 Draft) and a host of others dating back to the 1940's.

I will post a couple of pics with me and Davin Joseph and Phil Loadholt(current All Big-12 offensive lineman.

Fiverings with Davin Joseph, former Sooner lineman and first round NFL draft pick now tearing up defensive lineman in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Bucs.

Hey 5 which one are you....

Keep those OU tickets....it sounds like next year those might be the only games you can afford to go to!

Yeah, you got that right, and even those are getting too high.

Yeah my PSU tickets are up to $65 a piece...I think thats what they are.

Game tickets are around $45 each, but I contribute to the Sooner Club, so I get other bennies. $65? That's kind of high. Where do you sit?

8 rows up on the 10yd line. Not the best in the house during the game, but before the game, PSU warms up right in front of us and the players and coaches are always talking to my kids. Good stuff. I think OSU and/or Michigan is up to $75 a ticket...

I am on the goal line about 10 rows up. Have asked for an upgrade this season, so maybe I can move in a little. Don't mind being where I am, but would like better seats. Hard to get though. They are almost always sold out these days on season tickets. HOw many tickets do you have?

Fiverings with All Big-12 Sooner tackle Phil Loadholt. Wish I could get my wife to take better pics, but Phil is a big man at 6'8, 351 lbs.

I was at the game too, and I snapped a picture of Loadholt with my phone camera as my friends and I were leaving, and I'm almost positive that it was when you were taking this picture, because you are in it. Small world!

Yeah......small world indeed.

Call me stupid but which one are you? Damn this is difficult

All World Tackle Jamaal Brown signing autographs on the sidelines. Jamaal did not allow a sack during his career at OU and is now kicking some butt with the N.O. Saints.

Country Star Toby Keith hanging out on the sidelines. Toby is a big OU fan and financial supporter.

TOBY!!!!!!!! YUMMY!
sorry had too LOL!!
BTW i am lovin the write up & piccies thanks fiver!!!!!!!
made it worth my while to log the hell in here honey!!!

Toby attends almost all of the games if he is not touring.

my wife digs toby
some killa shots brotha glad ya had a good time and the sooners jersey is perfect ha

Thought I was going to get down and meet Toby, but he got out of there too fast. He was getting mobbed. Thanks.

lol i dig the sooners wish i could have went got to get down that way sometime, wife has a brother in arkansas never know lol

Cool.......come on down. Akransas is still a ways from here, but not too bad.

august is the familia re union but thats closer to tyler is that far from you?
look i used punctuation ha

Tyler about 110 miles. Punctuation? Good stuff.

How come ya'll weren't televised? Hell even the Pitt Blue-Gold games on ESPN this weekend! I'll be in attendance, though I will not be posting any pics of myself with large black men! Haha hope you had a good time FIVERINGS

It was televised last year, but guess they decided not to do it this year. Had a good time except for fighting the wind all day. Thanks.

Jamaal Brown, that is a huge feat! Being a lineman I can definitely relate. In high school in my four years I allowed 5 sacks... I started all 4 years... Love the stuff. Great stuff FIVER...

Thanks. Yes, Jamaal was an animal at OU. He's got that mean streak that teams want their linemen to have. 5 Sacks? That's good for 4 years of high school play.

Yea 3 came my freshman year. Wasnt the strongest then... But was the athletic big man that can stay in front of my guy and keep him from getting to the qb which is what I was supposed to do right??? lol
But it was actually my second year to play football I played basketball and baseball up until my sophomore year...

Didn't play in college?

5rings, don't my Seminoles play your Sooners in a couple of years?

I think I remember something about a home-and-home game contract coming up in a year or two. Not 100% sure.

FSU plays OU in Okla. in 2010 and FSU plays OU in Tallahassee in 2011

Cool. Bring Papa Bowden on up to Norman.

Who knows even if he'll still be coaching, but I hope so

Hell, he ain't going to retire unless they kick his butt out of there. Least I got you some pics of some dreads mine. Figured you might like those.

yes, real solid, Davin Joseph is nasty

Great pics, thanks for sharing!
Brings back memories. I grew up in Oklahoma (Ponca City), having 5 brothers, Sooners FB was pretty much all I remember. LMAO.

Ponca City. Know where that is. I grew up in the southern part of the state (Durant).

Ok it is a nice place.I wish i could be there
