Oklahoma has taken care of business tonight.

I think the only way they will lose to Florida is if they beat themselves. And that is a possiblity because they get nervous in big games and don't execute. That is what happen during the Texas game.

Don't know the reason for the refinance but if it was to get out of debt then cut up all credit cards and CALL each creditor and tell them to close the accounts. Getting out debt trouble is more important than your current credit score.

If debt was not an issue, then cut up and close all accounts ...
