Fashionista: What the Voles (sic) are bringin’

by

Howdy do, my gawgeous Sooner Fashionistas! So glad to be back with you this wonderful weekend when we are going to discuss down home, country and western, Dollywood loving Knoxville, TN, that “scruffy little city” that is home to the Tennessee Voles, the cute little mammal that oft gets confused with a mole.

They do present just the most adorable little mascot!

Your Madame Fashionista has done her research of the fashion down Knoxville way and come to this very unfortunate conclusion: bony knees and high, bleach blonde, coiffed hair are the look.

Though this latter fad is fine when Auntie Dolly tries it, she is the ONLY one that should make that attempt. The knobby knees make an appearance when torn jeans with holes right over the patella are worn. Though the fashion is crude, you shouldn’t judge. That’s my job, of course.

The Soonerguys founder predicted a loss in our game against Tennessee. Had that happened it would have broken a long standing winning streak dating back to January 1, 1968.

This was the era when you still had to be good to play in a bowl game, and really good to play on New Years Day. Second ranked Tennessee met No. 3 Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. It was Chuck Fairbanks’ first year as head coach, Steve Owens’ first year at running back and Bobby Warmack’s second year quarterbacking the team. Tennessee was favored.

>>>HUNTER’S OU-TENN REPORT CARD
Maybe the only thing matching the exhilaration of Sooner Magic appearing in Knoxville is the satisfaction of shutting up the S-E-C chanters.

Both happened Saturday night when No. 19 Oklahoma came from a 17-point deficit to defeat the No. 23 Tennessee Volunteers 31-24 in double overtime.

Baker Mayfield threw an 18-yard touchdown pass to Sterling Shepard in the second overtime.

For Coach Bob Stoops it was reminiscent of the Sooners’ 35-31 triumph over Texas A&M during the Sooners’ 2000 national championship season.

“It’s one of the more special wins, maybe my favorite of all of them,” Stoops said. “A little Sooner magic came back out. It reminded me of maybe like we’re back at A&M back in 2000, where we made some plays to win the game that you feel pretty fortunate and blessed to make.”
