	To-do list for Oklahoma Sooners:	edit  · history  · watch  · refresh
Page needs a complete rewrite. Try to get rid of lists and possible place them on their own page (i.e. List of Oklahoma Sooners NCAA National Championships). Moved the conference championships lists to their own page. Left the NCAA championships list on the page but moved it to the bottom. Expand on several of the smaller sports such as men's gymnastics, baseball, and women's basketball. Add in more history of the team. I expanded on men's gymnastics and a little on women's basketball. Would still like more info on wrestling, baseball, and softball at the very least. Refer to the media guides on SoonerSports.com, great source for information. Expand the football section. The football team has a long and storied past which needs to be conveyed more in the entry. Need entry for Bennie Owen. More pictures are needed. Need pictures of Lloyd Noble Center, L. Dale Mitchell Park, new Soccer complex, OU Softball field, etc.

[edit] 100th meeting of Red River Shootout

Hello, I'm doing a bit of clean-up at Red River Shootout in anticipation of a few extra page views this weekend. If anyone here would like to help out that would be great. (And yes, I am aware that corporate interests and political correctness have led to a name-change). Johntex\^talk 22:01, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] conference championships?

I've done quite a bit of cleanup on this article today, having found it while looking for something else, and I'm perplexed by the list of dates and coaches listed under the 'College Basketball' heading. It doesn't make much sense to me - repetitive dates, apparent redundancies (Billy Tubbs seems to have won two or three titles each year), generally a mess. I'm thinking about deleting it and just listing each coach, then the championships won by that coach in one line. It would save space and be much clearer. Other comments are welcome, but I don't think it can't stay the way it is. In the meantime, I'll take a look at the WP entries for other Division I colleges for ideas. - ddlamb 01:08, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Good job btw, a lot of the awkwardness came from a previous Wikipedian who seemed to be a rabid Poke State fan, making POV comments bordering on vandalism. The redundancy in B-ball comes from the Big 8/12 regular season championships as opposed to tournament championships. This should be highlighted.Tmrobertson 01:04, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Football national championships

This part of the article seems confusing to me: "The Sooners possess seven poll-determined national championships in football,... Oklahoma acctually can claim 15 National Titles, due to other Championship Polls. Not to mention all of those titles Oklahoma would have won if there wasent a rule for schools going to back to back bowl games year after year during the 47 Game Win Streak in the 1950's."
So, is it 7 poll-determined national championships or 15? We need to be consistent with our terminology. If they are from polls other than AP, I think that needs to be explained. Also, the final sentence "Not to mention..." does not sound very encyclopedic to me. What is it trying to say? Johntex\^talk 00:02, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

It's been removed now (not by me), but I agree that it is confusing. The wording is poor for one thing, but it is also not NPOV. Z4ns4tsu 23:32, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
