We are hearing in Boise that some of the Sooner fans

are mighty bitter and trash talking our Broncos, however several letters to the editor of the Idaho Statesman from Oklahomans congratulating our Broncos for crafting a victory after trying to give them the game. Have any of you Oklahomans been aware of such?

[Judy Hamilton]

Hi Jim
I have not heard coffee talk of such, however many losers are poor sports, no matter where they hail from..hold over from different parenteral guiding when they were in their formative years. So I would not be at all surprised to have the whiners making the loudest noise.

I have spoke with several from work, we have rehashed most of the big plays, facts are facts, Boise State was the superior team at the Fiesta Bowl. Had we slipped by and won, then the team that played the best would have lost. In my opinion that would have been sad.

And another "thank you," Judy. Boise State coach, Chris Peterson, is a Christian man and sets a high moral tone for the team. Isn't that Ian Johnson quite the romantic going down on his knee to propose to the cheerleading captain from New Jersey. I wonder if Hollywood or the TV networks won't try to play that one to the hilt. EVen as a doctoral student at OU and being aware of the Sooners tradition of Bud Wilkinson and my good friend, Dave Baker, it is stunning to me to think that our hometown school who just ten years ago made the move from 1 AA rank to 1 A rank could possibly pull off what they did against Bob Stoops with a first year head coach. Thank you for your kind response.

Although I don't take the paper, my homepage on my computer is the Oklahoman online. It has been very strange. Usually every week there is a lot of coverage of the games, but this week there has been very little about the Fiesta Bowl. Maybe it is like Judy said, the superior team won.

Thanks, Mark for your response and previous congratulations. The local outlets that sell official Bronco garments and suvoniers can not receive shipments fast enough. Now the school is trying to locate the football Ian Johnson threw into the fan section when he scored the winning two point conversion. Nobody has come forward. It may show up on Ebay.
