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.

A Tale of Two Halves — Sooners win 33-3

by

If the Oklahoma-Kent State game was a forecast of the Sooners’ 2022 season, we can expect the best of times and the worst of times from this team.

Their 33-3 win before flashing stadium lights on Saturday night was a tale of two halves (apologies to Charles Dickens).

The offense in the first half was flat. And that is being generous. 

Perhaps we should have known the game would be surreal when earlier on Saturday the computer system relied upon by the athletic ticket office crashed and prevented half the fans from downloading their digital tickets for the game. 

That error was corrected a few hours before kickoff.

The offense’s errors took a little longer — until the last minute of the second quarter, with three straight Dillion Gabriel passes to Marvin Mims — the last being a 36-yarder to give the Sooners their first score to take the 7-0 lead going into halftime.

Sooners kick off Venables era with 45-13 win over UTEP

by

It wasn’t great. It wasn’t bad.

For a debut of a new head coach, new quarterback and many other players, it acceptably set the Sooners ship back on course after a tumultuous end of last season. 

And it marked the beginning of the head coach career of what may be the next legendary skipper.

That is my take on Oklahoma’s 45-13 win over UTEP on a humid hot day in Norman on Saturday.

“At the end of the day, it was going to be about Oklahoma re-establishing the soul and the spirit of this program,” Venables said after the game. 

Clearly, the Sooners did just that as soon as they stepped off the bus, to be greeted by several hundred screaming funs who lined the Jenkins Avenue path to the stadium.
