building, the BOK Tower, is also the tallest building in any of the "Plains states" (Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and the Dakotas). You can see a photo of it on the front of our page right now.

Well, after 15 minutes of walking around downtown Tulsa, I now have something to say. Tulsa had an eerie similarity to Franklin College in that it was completely empty. We walked around on a weekday at lunchtime, next to a 50-story building with a number of other tall buildings around, and in 15 minutes we probably saw about four people. It was like the commercials for the new Will Smith movie.

Today we met with Mike Brooks, who is a stat guru for the Oklahoma Sooners. On this trip we have met a lotof fans, and I don't think any of them had a better relationship with their team. He just had this attitude about the Sooners and about college football that was overwhelmingly positive. For years, he has been dedicating a huge amount of his time and effort to keeping all different kinds of stats relating to college football and the Sooners because it brings him enjoyment to do so. He even parlayed it into a role as the team historian.

Brooks talked to us a little about how and why this endeavor started and you can watch his story in today's video "Brooks Books".
