[edit] Comments
Great start to the article! Glad to see you plan on creating article for the rest of OU's national championships. I have some general feedback for you that you can take and apply to this article and future articles you create. First off, and this is the biggest deal, this article, as long as it is, does not cite any sources. It is very important that you cite your sources as no original research is allowed on Wikipedia. (See WP:OR, WP:CITE, WP:V.) Next, per WP:MOS or more specifically WP:MOS-L, it is proper practice to only wikilink the first occurrence of something in the article. So if you mention Barry Switzer more than once in the article, you only wikilink the first time you mention Barry Switzer. Per WP:MOSHEAD, you only capitalize the first word in the section header, unless it is a proper noun. So instead of ==Season Recap==, you would use ==Season recap==. Also, I would not consider this article a stub by any stretch of the imagination. That is all I can think of right now. I suggest you read through some of those links as they will make you a much better and informed editor. Also, I fixed some issues with the schedule template and I left some advice in the edit summary. Lastly, I'm going to run a peer review script that identifies other issues with the article. It's typically ran when trying to get an article peer reviews, or upgraded to Good article or Featured article but you can at least see other MOS issues that typically occur. I'd love to have some much needed help improving these OU articles! Let me know if there is anything I can help you with.↔NMajdan•talk 22:56, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I have gone through and updated some of the references to make them more applicable/readable. I am looking for some media (images, etc.), to apply to this. I should have the roster updated by COB today.Desert sapper 15:27, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
