HUNTSVILLE, Texas – Rhett Bomar's year-long exile from college football is almost over.

When Sam Houston State opens the season Thursday against Angelo State, the Bearkats' new quarterback can finally begin a new chapter in his life. No more talk about Oklahoma, the NCAA violations or Big Red Sports/Imports.

What's done is done. At least, that's how the 22-year-old junior from Grand Prairie views life and the events at OU that triggered his dismissal from the team on Aug. 2, 2006. He's thinking more about ASU, a team with six returning starters on defense.

Standing in 14,000-seat Bowers Stadium, Bomar looks like a player ready to light up the Southland Conference.

"Yeah, there's not going to be 85,000 in the stands every week," Bomar said. "But when you're playing ball, you're playing ball. You don't pay attention to the crowd anyway.

We at Texas State will be eager to end his season with a loss come November.

I was just thinking about Bomar yesterday. Thanks for the update! I'll be very interested to see how he does.

A little premature to be thinking about App. They need to make the playoffs first! All kidding aside, I hope he has a great year and helps bring SHSU back to what it used to be!

I believe he meant Angelo State, our first opponent.
