The Adventures of Soonerguy
Corn Maze Trouble Makes Return
Last time on the Adventures of Soonerguy – Soonergal… er… guy was lipstick deep in trying to locate the Golden Streak. He walks daintily through the Victoria’s Secret Bra sale in Sooner Fashion Mall when the Soonerphone rings resoundingly from his utility belt.
Hurriedly, he answers, cutting off the Pride of Oklahoma’s ringtone rendition of Boomer Sooner through his mobile device!
“Soonerguy. How can I assist you and/or fight for truth, justice and the Sooner way?”
“Soonerguy!”, the voice is unmistakably that of Farmer Vincent, the kindly, old gentleman that runs the corn maze, pumpkin patch, and agricultural tourist attraction Corn to be Wild.
“You gotta come quick,” he cries “We got a heap o’ trouble in the corn maze!”

Oklahoma needs to be on its toes in Lincoln and dispel nagging doubts about the offense
That was the most uncomfortable 30 point win I think I have ever seen.
At least for the first half. After Kent St. spent the beginning 29 minutes of the game making OU look like….well…Kent St., the Sooners finally realized that the Golden Flashes weren’t going to roll over.
Down 3-0 with just over a minute left in the second quarter, Dillion Gabriel found Marvin Mims on a few sideline patterns and a nice streak route for a touchdown with just 18 seconds left before intermission. The Sooners then scored on their first drive of the third quarter and the route was on.
What took so long? My guess is that Lebby didn’t want to show his hand before the meat of the schedule begins.
But Kent St. had other ideas and probably forced Oklahoma to turn a few more pages in the play book in the second half, to make sure another top 10 team didn’t fall at home to a supposedly inferior opponent.
