Only three Oklahomans -- perhaps four? -- playing in Bedlam
Published: 1/9/2012 5:56 PM

Keiton Page was named after Batman. Really. He got his first name from Michael Keaton, who played Batman in the late-1980s movie.

But, during Bedlam, Page is the Lone Ranger. Here’s what I mean:

He’s the only player on OSU’s roster from Oklahoma, which means he’s the Cowboy who will take Bedlam most seriously. He and Markel Brown are the only Cowboys who have ever participated in a Bedlam game.

“I’ll be sure to tell these guys what Bedlam is like, especially for an Oklahoma kid,” Page said. “Bedlam just has a completely different feel to it. The atmosphere is just different. It’s not like you don’t want to win every other game, but the Bedlam game is just a game that you definitely want to come out with a win. “

Including OU and OSU rosters, only three Oklahomans will participate in Bedlam. Make it four if Marek Soucek is from Prague, Okla., instead of Prague, Czechoslovakia.
