At least the Houston Chronicle has an upbeat view of this game.

Bomar on target for Sam Houston

HUNTSVILLE — Rhett Bomar still wears No. 7. That's about the only thing that has not changed during his one-year exile from football.

When he ran onto the field for Sam Houston State's season opener against Division II Angelo State, there was no deafening roar from the bleachers.

The game wasn't on television.

It wasn't even a sellout. A crowd of 10,517 showed up at Bowers Stadium on Thursday night — one of the largest home openers in years for the Bearkats — but that's still a fraction of what Bomar played in front of on Saturdays to begin his college career at Oklahoma.

This isn't Norman anymore.

For Bomar, that's just fine.

Bomar, the former OU quarterback at the center of a summer job scandal, began the process of resurrecting his career by leading Sam Houston to a 17-13 victory over Angelo State.

"I've moved on completely," Bomar said. "I don't let anybody talk to me about the past. Now that I've got this first game under my belt, people can talk about Sam Houston."
