Mad Dog: Our guy is back and we are happy

by

The pain was real but turned out to be fleeting. Lincoln Riley took the money and ran.

OK by me. The University of Oklahoma doesn’t need a fraidy cat on the sidelines.

I’m fine with Riley’s midnight run because Joe Castiglione pulled another one of his Harry Houdini magic tricks and landed what well could be a savior for OU’s vaunted and legendary football program.

Ladies and Gentleman, Brent Venables is back in town – and we again have hope that Sooner Magic is, indeed, intact and will return starting next September.

Everyone knows we’ve been here before.

The time of his life arrives for Riley

by

Bedlam week and the day after brought two heartbreaks for our beloved Sooner football team and all of we die-hard fans.

First, a national championship-caliber contender Oklahoma State bested our guys in Crimson and Cream on the field last Saturday night in a hard-fought, highly competitive game where the Sooner squad barely came out on the short end of the stick.

Less than 24 hours later, OU Head Coach Lincoln Riley suddenly and unexpectedly abandoned the Sooner team and nation, sneaking away in the dead of night along with several of his assistants for the sun and sand of Los Angeles… 

To become the head coach of the wine-and-rose-colored University of Southern California Trojans – a team that has been about a significant over the last 15 or 20 years in the world of big-time college football as a pimple on a gnat’s back.

Upset? Mad? Frothing at the mouth? OU’s fans are. It all made me wonder when the last public hanging in Oklahoma took place.

Mad Dog: A Bedlam *year* comes down to Saturday in Stillwater

by

So, it’s Bedlam week. The days leading up to The Big Red’s game against its second most-hated rivalry – The Oklahoma State Cowboys – A.K.A The Cowpokes, The Cowpukes, and a host of other derogatory names that best be left unwritten and unpublished here.

It will be a game of the ages – if both teams play up to their capabilities.

For our beloved and sometimes infuriating Sooners, however, the 2021 football season has been three months of Bedlam. One game after another.

The Tulane game…I can’t, I just can’t. Kansas? KANSAS! For the love of everything holy! What the heck was that? Time to erase that from my memory. Were’s my vodka and spicy tomato juice?

Texas? Well, it was a miracle at the time, but seeing UT’s performance the rest of the season, perhaps that should have set alarm bells off loud and clear through the entire Sooner Nation. Texas stinks so bad Longhorn fans are already trying to massacre coach Steve Sarkisian in a pubic scene reminiscent of the Alamo slaughter.
