Sooners drop second game in a row — losing 55-24 to TCU

by

I hate to say it. But, the Sooners defense gave up mid-way through their stunning loss to TCU.

Then again, after giving up four big plays, each in excess of 60 yards, for touchdowns in the first half, who wouldn’t?

The Sooners suffered their worst loss since the John Blake era, losing to TCU 55-24. 

Losing their first two conference games of the season is not unprecedented. Lincoln Riley’s 2020 Sooners team did that.

But losing in such convincing fashion leads one to believe this team just isn’t very good.

“We’re not very good obviously right now. We have a lot to get better at, a lot to improve,” said Coach Brent Venables.

Venables: ‘I’m pissed about all the things that happened….’

by

Last week in Lincoln the Sooners showed they could play complimentary football (a balanced offense and defense) — in a good way to beat Nebraska.

This week back in Norman they showed they could play complimentary football — in a bad way to lose to Kansas State.

Both squads bear the responsibility for failure on Owen Field on Saturday night, when the Wildcats upset No. 6 Oklahoma 41-34. 

And a noticeably angry Coach Brent Venables said so in his post-game press conference.

“I am pissed about all the things that happened out there today….”

The only highlight of the game was a raucous crowd. But even some of them began to file out of the stadium with 8 minutes remaining when K-State extended their lead to 34-20 and the Sooners defense had no answer for KSU running back Deuce Vaughn (25 carries for 123 yards) and quarterback Adrian Martinez (21 carries for 148 yards).

On a third and 16 from their own 41 yard line, Martinez scrambled out of the pocket for 55 yards to seal the Sooners’ fate. The Wildcats scored two plays later, extending the lead they had maintained the entire game to 41-27 with 1:58 left.

“It broke our back at the most critical of time,” OU Coach Brent Venables said of Martinez’ play.

Let’s be honest about Gundy’s poo on Bedlam

by

The biggest pile of horse hockey to be dumped on Oklahoma this week was Mike Gundy’s poo that Bedlam is ending because the Sooners are leaving the Big 12 conference for more money.

“What’s going on now is almost a situation with a husband and a wife, or a girlfriend and a boyfriend when you know you’re dead wrong and you try to turn the table and make them think they’re wrong, when Oklahoma State has no part in this,” Gundy said.

Let’s be honest, Mike. Bedlam is ending because Gundy and his Copokes in Stillwater don’t want to face a tough opponent in their non-conference football schedule. 

And Oklahoma is too tough for them.

Sure, when OU announced they were jumping ship for the Southeastern conference, some Oklahoma State muckity mucks, along with other Big 12 members were upset. They said they were deceived because OU and UT didn’t announce they were secretly planning an escape.

Imagine Andy Dufresne telling the guards in advance he was about to crawl through the sewer on his way to the Zihuatanejo beach.
