Harris' game hasn't changed in the NFL
Former Sooner still a star

Tommie Harris is dominating the NFL the way he dominated college football in his Oklahoma days. And yes, OU fans, that's a good thing for Harris' Chicago Bears.

Cheers & Jeers: Former OCU baseball player Freddy Sanchez, the axing of Robinson, Alou

Cheers
  • To the fair play of OU. Sooner fans always have had the south end zone seats at the Cotton Bowl, giving them the edge to encourage their team — and boo the Longhorns — going and coming down the tunnel. OU has agreed to alternate with Texas such prime real estate.

  • To OCU-ex Freddy Sanchez, the National League batting champ with the Pirates. Sanchez, 28, seems to be well-grounded. He told Sports Illustrated that if he was commissioner for a day, he would "raise the pay for minor-league players."

    Jeers
  • To baseball's loss of Frank Robinson and Felipe Alou, let go as managers by the Nationals and the Giants, respectively. Two excellent baseball men, two class acts, two icons from the days when baseball still gripped us.

  • To Illinois football players, who tried to plant the Illini flag in the middle of Michigan State's field after a last-second win Saturday, inciting a melee. A great victory ruined by lack of postgame decorum.
