Final Project Ideas
I have been considering some of the options that might be available for a good strong news story that I can do my final project with. Here are a couple that have crossed my mind as possibilities: 1. Do a story on the OU football players and how they might be reacting to how the team's season went with going from legit national title contenders to mediocrity. 2. Do a story on if the University of Oklahoma is going to add more parking since they have taken out a lot of parking with the construction for the new pool they are building. 3. Do a story on whether or not OU students and different people around the OU and Norman community feel that President Obama is doing a good, adequate, or poor job so far in his presidency. These are some of my top ideas that I have come up with to do for final. Any of the three would be fun to do in my opinion.
Blog 9-Students Feelings Towards Sooner Football
Oklahoma Students come to OU to yes, get an education and meet new people and make new friends but one of the perks about coming to Sooner Country is the strong athletics OU sport teams display in almost every event. Football is the foundation of that interest and beating heart of Oklahoma sports.
When the football team is underachieving it makes it very difficult for OU students to enjoy their fall semester and in 2009 so far it has been a disappointment. With Heisman winner Sam Bradford and All-American Jermaine Gresham sustaining season-ending injuries the Sooner football team is struggling through the 2009 season at 6-4 with two games to play.
"It is extremely frustrating because it is my senior year and to have to go out like this especially after being ranked #2 and 3 in most polls before the season started is devastating," said OU senior, Josh Wilson. "I try and stay positive but it is so hard to do, the only game we have left to win that we MUST win is bedlam against Oklahoma State because I do not want to lose to them in our last home game of my college career."
While the students are growing more frustrated as the year has gone on the players and coaches seem confused and agitated as well after seeing some of their press conferences and quotes in the newspapers.
OU football is and will always be king in Oklahoma but this year there is an unfamiliar chant being heard throughout Norman, "I can't wait 'til basketball season."
