Sooners, Mid-Spring Practice, Hope to Bounce Back in 2015

Most fans of the Oklahoma Sooners are worrying about how to get Sooners tickets for March Madness. The true die hards are already wondering how Sooners football is going to improve in 2015. With Oklahoma already starting their spring practices, now is as good a time as any to look forward to another season of Bob Stoops on the sidelines and the Sooners trying to make their way through the rugged Big 12.

Oklahoma’s main goal for the 2015 NCAA football season will be to get off to another hot start, just like they did after going 4-0 a year ago. Avoiding key losses to rivals such as TCU, Texas and Oklahoma State will be mission number two, as will be finishing the season strong – something they couldn’t do in last year’s bowl game loss to Clemson.

A perfect season and a run at a title are two obvious goals of any Oklahoma Sooners team, but after going just 8-4 in 2014 and failing to secure a bowl win, Sooners fans have to be cautiously optimistic, while also being realistic. That doesn’t hurt the value of Oklahoma Sooners football tickets, though, since every year offers up another chance for a Stoops-led bunch to rise up and exceed expectations.

The game all Sooners fans may be most excited for is Oklahoma’s regular season battle with the hated Texas Longhorns, an October 10th battle that will have Sooners tickets at their most expensive in 2015 ($470.24 on average and $166 to get in the door), according to Totally Tickets. That’s only fitting, given the history between the two teams and another tight battle between the two in 2014.

With the College Football season still a little bit aways many bettors are looking ahead to May 2nd which will be the next big day in sports betting. On Saturday, May 2nd we will say the Mayweather Pacquio fight finally plus the Kentucky Derby. If you want to bet on these sporting events click here for the latest sportsbook reviews.

While the 2014 season was a bit of a downer for Sooners fans, they can hang their hat on the fact that Stoops had them in the running for a national title in the previous four seasons (all 10+ win seasons) and he could very well have them in place to make next year’s college football playoff. It will surely take a big win over Texas and a borderline perfect run through a tough schedule, while the rise of Big 12 rivals such as Kansas State, TCU and Baylor won’t make life any easier.

One thing the Sooners will have to do to get back to a 10+ win season will be locking things down in Norman, where Oklahoma has dropped six games since 2011 (four in 2014, alone). It won’t be easy to turn that around with dates against TCU and Virginia on their home field this year, but if the Sooners want to take that next step back up to an elite level, it may have to happen.
