One more thing…

Last year the excitement surrounding the arrival of Brent Venables and the Team 128 season was at an all-time high. Sooner Nation showed out in force with the tune of a college football spring game record of 75,360 fans.

With the impending departure to the SEC set for next summer, we need to see continued support for the Sooners. The only way this program continues to replenish talent, upgrade facilities, and maintain national relevance is if they have the full backing of Sooner Nation. We must show up to the spring game excited for the season. 2022 is over… it’s gone… they’re better. Nobody wants a National Championship more than these players and this staff, so we (Sooner Nation) must back every move. Partaking in healthy discourse is encouraged; it signifies a competitive blue-blood’s fanbase.

Keep the negativity out of it. This team has learned, replenished, and prepared to win a conference title. Please get your tickets to the Spring game here, and let’s celebrate the arrival of Team 129 in another historic showing.

There are plenty of reasons to be excited about the Team 129 campaign. The defensive back room and running back core are LOADED, the linebacking unit has top-of-the-conference type talent, and the depth is improved at each position

I look forward to coach Venables’s second campaign; hopefully, it can mirror Coach Stoops’s second one. Before we buy our tickets to Houston for the CFP National Championship, we get to enjoy the annual Red-White spring game first. See you there.
