Cowboys, Sooners still have goals

September 22, 2009 by Matt Howell  

I will admit, I am an adamant reader of College Football message boards and an occasional listener to local sports talk radio.  Heck, I’m part of the local sports talk radio.

Since Oklahoma and Oklahoma State each lost their first game of the season in the first two weeks, the number of suicidal fans has reached a statewide high.  As a die-hard Cowboy fan, sure, I’m as disappointed as the  next guy.  But before everyone jumps off the bandwagon, or drives their car into a ditch, just let the season play out.

Both OU and OSU can still challenge for all the goals they set in August.  And yes, that includes a National Championship!

For Sooner fans, the road to recovery seems to be more immediate.  OU’s vaunted defense has played exactly how it should and has pitched consecutive shutouts.  Landry Jones looks more than capable of leading the OU offense sans Sam Bradford, and with a week off, the Heisman hero might be back in time for the Miami game.

Things aren’t as rosy in Stillwater right now, where more than a handful of so-called Cowboy fans have mailed in the 2009 campaign.  A disappointing loss to Houston was followed by an unimpressive victory over Rice.  That has led some to call for the head of Head Coach Mike Gundy, who just two weeks ago was being praised as the greatest thing since Bear Bryant.  The Cowboys will have the next three weeks to heal up, getter better on the offensive line, and better learn Bill Young’s defensive scheme.

Football fans: just let the season unfold.  Conference play hasn’t even begun.  Both teams control their own destiny.  If you play in the Big 12 South, you’ll always be in the hunt for a National Championship.  Beat Texas, beat Tech, beat your in-state rival.  That resume is a heck of a lot better than anyone in the ACC, Pac-10, Big-10, or Big East will have.  And I can promise you this.  Only one, and maybe even zero teams will go undefeated in the SEC.

Both the Cowboys and the Sooners have the talent to bring home the hardware.  One game does not make a season.  Impressive, or unimpressive, wins are still wins.  Ask USC.  Or Ohio State.

So just relax.  Keep the car between the white lines.  And enjoy what could wind up being the best season of college football our state has ever seen.

CTBSports Announces High School Football Schedule

August 24, 2009 by Matt Howell  

Hello area football fans,

We are just days away from the start of another exciting season of high school football in Northwest Oklahoma and Southern Kansas.  With three stations dedicated to bringing you games each and every Friday night, we feel that Chisholm Trail Broadcasting Sports is your high school football home.

We will once again carry Enid High football on ESPN Radio AM 1390 KCRC.  It should be an exciting year for Tommy Parker’s Plainsmen, as they try to make back-to-back playoff appearances.

On AM 1640 “The Score!” we will carry another full season of the Hennessey Eagles.  Hennessey looks to be one of the favorites to capture an A-1 District crown and a Class-A State Title.

And on 107.1 FM KNID, it’s our Monsanto Area Game of the Week.  A 14-game schedule once again awaits you the listener, and we’ll no doubt cover some of the best talent in the state.

As always, every game we cover can also be heard right here on CTBSports.com.  And, every game  will archived, for listening enjoyment later.

We invite you to check out the schedule page for our broadcast schedule and to frequent the message boards and blog areas.

Thanks so much for listening and we hope to see  you in your town on Friday (and some Thursday) nights!

When Eight & Eleven Equal Six

September 16, 2008 by Matt Howell  

When do eight and eleven equal six? When you’re name is Daniel Barwick and you’re the newest star at Enid High.

This former eight-man stud at Pond Creek-Hunter has been nothing short of electrifying in two games at the 6A level.

In his Plainsmen debut, Barwick rushed for 148 yards and two touchdowns, while also catching a touchdown.

Hard to duplicate in week two?  Hardly for Barwick, who had just four carries (that’s right I said FOUR carries) for 185 yards, two touchdowns.  Oh by the way, he also returned a punt 70 yards for a score.

Barwick told me last week he made the switch from PC-H to Enid to gain college exposure. If exposure is what he wanted, exposure is what he’s gonna get. Especially when he’s spinning off of defenders and hurdling over would-be tacklers (twice in two weeks).

Enid has a good history of tough, durable running backs. Daniel Barwick is a new breed, with moves that look somebody’s playing Playstation. He is the biggest reason the Plainsmen are 2-0 and are beginning to open eyes across the state. With Barwick’s big-play ability, defenses will soon have to key on #32, and that will allow an already talented Clint Chelf to have a field day.

One Division-One broadcaster told me last week there was enough talent on the field to put an Enid team at 9-0 when they travel to Tulsa Union in week 10. Wouldn’t that be something? It’s only week three, and that’s way too far away to seem like a reality.But with Daniel Barwick in the backfield, or in the slot, or in motion, or in return formation… it’s not too early for Enid fans to dream big.
