‘Thank the Lord…Hallalujah for Brent V.!’ — Mad Dog

by

Thank the Lord above for Brent Venables and the masters of the football world he has assembled around him.

Saturday on Owen Field was a welcome homecoming – for Sooner Fans salivating for a new era of OU football, for the mighty Brent V. – who already has secured for himself a place in the annals of Big Red gridiron history – and for all players, and the fans, many of whom still may harbor a wish that Lincoln Riley’s house in Beverly Hills someday burns down without anyone being injured.

“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.
