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.

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State Cowboys – A.K.A The Cowpokes, The Cowpukes, and a host of other derogatory names that best be left unwritten and unpublished here.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.

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.

Dave: Some of the offense’s woes fall on Riley’s play calling

by

Just to get this out of the way, the people chanting “we want Caleb” from the student section last Saturday night were either drunk, or don’t really know anything about the game of football. 

Probably both. 

Rattler has no time to throw the ball deep.  The offensive line is not playing well at all.  In any facet of the game. 

And while I can understand that Caleb would give an element of a QB run game, you would be risking injury to the future of the position because Caleb would be running for his life due to the O-lines futility.
