I am Second: faith and football when the Oklahoma Sooners and Texas Longhorns Play on Saturday

Well it is time once again for the Red River Rivalry. But more important to each starting quarterback, Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy, is their faith in Jesus Christ and the influence for him that they can have.

Here is a video of them sharing their story at I am Second. Like Tim Tebow of Florida, these guys are trying to live their lives for Christ in the unique spotlight of elite college football. My hats off to them all for trying to think Christianly about the opportunities and challenges they find themselves with. (click here)

oh yea, I almost forgot...BOOMER SOONER :)

BCS Championship Game - Oklahoma Sooners vs Florida Gators

OK. So I am a huge college football fan and an even 'huger' (not sure if that is a word, but it is now) Oklahoma Sooners fan. So naturally, I am pumped up for tonight's game.

But one thing to watch for is that both starting quarterbacks are outspoken Christians and take their faith in Jesus Christ very seriously.

I am a big Tim Tebow fan (though I hope he does well tonight, I still hope OU wins... ;). And he has a huge platform to talk about what really matters, these two videos give you a flavor for his life:



ESPN follows his spring break mission trip to the Phillipines:



Sam Bradford is active in FCA(Fellowship of Christian Athletes)and this year's Heisman trophy winner and his story can be seen (along with Tebow's) at http://www.beyondtheultimate.org/.

Enjoy the game and also celebrate the young lives of two good ambassadors for Jesus Christ.
