OSU and OU face off tonight in Bedlam 2008

One of the greatest days of the college football season is here.

My beloved Oklahoma State University Cowboys face off against their in-state rival, the University of Oklahoma Sooners, the team I grew up just 45 miles away from and cheered for in my youth.

Yes, it’s Bedlam 2008, and this year is particularly exciting because both times are extremely talented and highly ranked.

The Sooners, perennial football powerhouses, are ranked No. 3. The Cowboys, who are having a great year, are ranked No. 12, and the game is at home at Boone Pickens Stadium in Stillwater.

As the name implies, Bedlam is a game in which anything can happen. You just never know what wackiness will ensue.

The game kicks off at 7 p.m. today at Boone Pickens Stadium at OSU. It will be televised on ABC (KOCO-5 in Oklahoma City).
