(Editor's note: Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops will file a weekly diary with ESPN.com throughout the season. For more on the Sooners, visit the official Oklahoma site.) Oct. 6, 1999 Notre Dame just whipped us in the second half. We did some good things early but weren't strong enough to finish. Let's give them credit. Their players fought hard and their will to win outdid ours. They certainly deserved the victory.
This week, we're excited about the opportunity to be involved in this great rivalry with Texas. We're going down to the Cotton Bowl to meet Texas. There'll be great excitement, and we're looking forward to the competition. Everyone wants to tell you how important this game is, and I recognize that. Recruits from both states pay attention to this game. It's a big game and they'll all be watching. I understand that I won't have a job next week if I don't win (chuckle). I like the game being in the Cotton Bowl. Like coach (Barry) Switzer said it's their state fair, and Dallas is in Texas, isn't it? I guess I could stick to what he's said before, and I'd be safe.
