Adrian Peterson - All Day
It is a sad, sad day for Oklahoma Sooner fans. However, it is a great day as well. The Oklahoma Sooners will be without their star running back next year, the beast, All-Day, Adrian Peterson. A.D. is headed pro and most likely to the Raiders. As much as I dislike the Raiders, I will be a fan if this is the case. Watching this kid play football for the last 3 years has been a true treat. Every snap, every play could be a clip of the week or a play of the game. His explosive and raw running style brought a smile to my face.

In an excerpt from SoonerSports.Com, Adrian said:

The lure of staying at Oklahoma was tied mainly to the relationships Peterson established with teammates, especially those in his recruiting class.

“I came in with all those guys and I think a lot about the relationships we’ve built and all the hard work we’ve put in together.”

Bravo A.D. If there was a reason to stay, and that is pushing it, this was it. You do it for your boys! Your teammates.


Peterson leaves the University of Oklahoma just 74 yards short of Billy Simms’ All Time Leading Rush Yards record for the OU. A lot of people think with the collarbone injury Peterson suffered in the Iowa State game that he should return to OU to better his draft status. I am going to be blunt. Those people are morons. Peterson has proved a lot at his time with OU. He is THE man. His work ethic, drive, and determination are unmatched. He will go far in the NFL. For all the reasons the people say he should stay for his last year are the same reasons he should go. His body is worth multi-millions. This kid should not risk further injury by staying in college to break a record or win a Heisman. He should run, not walk, as fast as he can (thats 4.37 speed by the way) to the nearest NFL recruiting office and sign the hell up.

The following video is a few highlights of AD’s 2005 Heisman tape. If you have never seen A.D. carry the rock, you really have never watched college football.

Good Luck Adrian. Oklahoma Loves You.
