Tommy: Longing for the days of reliability
I recently passed the Catlett Music Center on the OU campus in Norman, and it stirred memories of a music appreciation class I took there nearly 50 years ago.
I wasn’t remembering the music. It was a classmate. Lyndle Byford.
We were both from small Oklahoma communities. We were the same age. Lyndle was a wide guy who played on the OU football team’s offensive line.
We sat close together in a cluster of desks assembled in a big room made for concerts or whatever. The building was way across campus for me. I often arrived late — or not at all.
But officially, I had nearly perfect attendance. The reason? Lyndle.
Dave: Multiple opinions, multiple problems
DAVE’S WORRY METER
Oh no, we suck again. I know that isn’t very “true fan”-like.
However, I’ve pulled for Oklahoma since I was a little kid. Graduated from the University of Oklahoma, and I’m a 27 year football season ticket holder. I get to vent every once in a while.
The offense is broken. It just is. And who knows if they can fix it in time to salvage the season.
To top it all off David Stone, perhaps our best player on defense, has an injured knee. Listed as questionable the last time I saw, he at least will be hampered if he plays.
No problem though. We only play the number 1 and number 2 teams in the nation away from home the next couple of weeks.
(Are you picking up on my sarcasm here? You should be because I’m laying it on pretty thick).
