The Oklahoma Sooners, still clinging to an outside chance of earning a BCS Bowl Game this season, did not play their best football of the season but played well enough to defeat the Baylor Bears in Waco 36-10 to run the OU record to 9-2.
This was an ambitious car trip for yours truly as Waco is approximately a 5 hour drive south of Norman right down I-35. I drove down Friday and picked up former Sooner football star and the MVP of the 1981 Orange Bowl Bud Hebert in Dallas and we stayed at the OU team hotel Friday night in Waco. (more…)
I will be leaving soon for the OKC Airport to catch a Southwest Airlines flight to St. Louis and then drive over to the University of Missouri to attend my first ever game in Columbia, Missouri. The Sooners-Tigers game can be seen on ABC TV Saturday morning at 11 central time and you may notice a guy in a black hat on the OU sideline. That would be yours truly. (more…)
I love this time of the year. It’s football season and it is football weather!! Gosh it is great to be alive and living in Oklahoma.
For almost 20 years, I spend every Friday night during football season wearing an officials uniform and enjoying the Friday night lights of Oklahoma high school football. I had more fun doing it than just about anything I have ever done in my life. I miss it every week during the season. (more…)
OK so OU lost the advertised “Texas Death Match” last Saturday in the Cotton Bowl but contrary to what some pundits and a few OU “fans” are saying this season is not over and the Sooners still have a chance to have a great year with 7 Big 12 league games remaining on the schedule. (more…)
Let’s not blow off a 59-0 Sooners win last Saturday night over an obviously outmanned Middle Tennessee State University team. Wins are good and confidence building wins after getting shafted in Eugene, where we indeed got “Ducked”, had to make our players and coaches feel better. It did not hurt my feelings to actually be able to relax at an OU football game for a change. (more…)
For the love of God, I am SO tired of hashing and re-hashing the debacle in Eugene last Saturday where an incompetent official decided to either outright screw the Sooners or this individual was so stupid that he could not rule on one of the most basic football principles in the game.
One of our WWE TV crew members was one of the tape operators who worked in ABC’s Production truck at Oregon and he told me Sunday in Toronto that the replay official saw up to 4 and maybe 5 different angles of the blown onside kick call and that there was conclusively NO technical issues to prevent this former 28 year Pac 10 official from making the obvious correct call.
No, the replay official is playing the sympathy card and because of OU’s deserved outrage, the national media has made the replay official, Gordon Riese, the victim and Oklahoma University the spoiled bully in this perverse equation. What in the hell is wrong with this picture? (more…)
The Oklahoma Sooners and the Oklahoma State Cowboys have college football games this weekend that are about as opposite as two games could be.
The Sooners embark on a long flight to Oregon to play the nationally ranked Ducks in Eugene while the Cowboys stay in Stillwater to host former OU coach Howard Schnellenberger’s impotent Florida Atlantic University from the football Mecca of Boca Raton, Florida. (I see rich people.) (more…)
Thanks for stopping by and checking out our site. Here are some random OU and OSU football thoughts from the Okie under the black, 200X Resistol hat……
The Oklahoma Sooner faithful has been waiting for what seems like an eternity for the 2006 kickoff of the college football season. The same can be said of the Cowboy fans in Stillwater. I expect both teams to win this Saturday but not without an anxious moment or two.
In Norman, all eyes will be on Quarterback, #12, Paul Thompson and how the 5th year senior handles the pressure of being the starting QB in Soonerland. My money says (more…)
