GAME BY GAME  
  Favorable schedule  
Sept. 1 - North Texas. The "Mean Green" is Meager this year. Nah, that's not a comment about their team, that's the name of their QB: Meager. We can't wait to see the headlines in the Sept. 2 Sunday sports sections making a play on words with this. Sooners should win by 28.

Sept. 8 - Miami. New coach in Miami. You have to expect the Hurricane to bounce back from some disappointing recent seasons.  We'll know on this Saturday. If Miami starts a fight, then this program is down the tubes for a long time. Still, they're physical and fast. Oklahoma wins by 8.


Sept. 15 - Utah State. We don't even know if this team plays in Provo or Ogden.  Or where those towns are. We've learned not to underestimate Rocky Mountain area teams; but still, how can anyone get excited about this?  It's like ol' times, Barry. Oklahoma by half a hundred: 50.


Sept. 21 - at Tulsa. If Skelly Stadium was a bridge you'd be hearing about it on CNN. This place is old and decaying. But it is nice to spend a night in T-town. Sooners will stumble in the first half of this one (just like in 1999), then pull away after halftime.  OU by 21.


Sept. 29 - at Colorado. Worst fans in the conference. They'll throw water soaked toilet paper at Sam Bradford before the end of the first quarter. Fortunatley, Bradford will throw touchdowns to Malcolm Kelly. The air is good up there.  Oklahoma wins by 31.


Oct. 6 - Texas.  We love Mack. Mack loves us. Life is good. Oklahoma wins by 12.


Oct. 13 - Missouri.  Second worst fans in the conference. But this game is in Norman, so they won't show up. Pinkel is good at finding ways to lose.  He will again this Saturday. Oklahoma will be victorious by 14.


Oct. 20 - at Iowa State.  Can we mail this one in?  Oklahoma sees some autumn colors in Ames. Returns with a 45 point win.


Nov. 3 - Texas A&M.  After this game Coach Fran's contract will be on the next board of regents meeting agenda.  Maybe the next coach will be named Ollie.  Oklahoma sends the rooten, tootenest, fightin' chicken scratchin' band home with a loss.  Sooners by 18.


Nov. 10 - Baylor.  Oklahoma fans will politely applaud the Bears for their tenacity.  Oklahoma wins by 30.


Nov. 17 - at Texas Tech.  Professor Leach will pray with Comanche Indians to conjure up a dust storm to blow through Lubbock for this game. No wait. He won't have to. It's Lubbock. Despite the conditions, and officials only requiring the Red Raiders to gain 7 yards to get a first down, Oklahoma prevails by 3.


Nov. 24 - Oklahoma State.  It's time for an a** kicking.  Sooners win by 35.
