That’s kind of like three national championships in our industry. * .798:  Bob Stoops winning percentage at the University of Oklahoma * .05:  Amount of air that leaks from our tightly constructed homes as compared to an industry average of .30  (Okay now we’re reaching for numbers…but it true) * 9:  Number of bowl wins Bob Stoops had as the head coach of the Oklahoma Sooners * 9: Number of kids the members of our marketing department have added to their families during Bob Stoops career With that, we wish the new Oklahoma Football coach Lincoln Riley a long and prosperous career.
