The Great Oklahoma Exodus: Did the Sooners Get Left Behind?
So, you heard the whispers, the rumors swirling around the crimson and cream like a tumbleweed in a Sooner homecoming. Did Oklahoma's football team suffer a mass exodus in the face of the Alamo Bowl? Did their roster resemble a ghost town by the time kickoff rolled around? Well, buckle up, partner, and let's wrangle this truth by the horns.
Hold Your Horses, Not Everyone Packed Their Bags
Now, there's no denying there were some departures. A handful of Sooners hightailed it for the transfer portal, likely chasing dreams of sunshine and stardom elsewhere. Some seniors also hung up their cleats, content with their college careers. But let's not turn this into a scene from The Walking Dead. There were still plenty of Sooners who suited up for the Alamo Bowl, ready to fight for one last win. Think of it as a chance for some of the younger players to step up and shine...or at least not trip over their own shoelaces on national television.

They somehow managed to cobble together an offense, even if it involved whispers of dark magic and sacrifices to the football gods.
