I passed on Smerconish this Saturday with all the excitement of the Andre Roberson story unfolding in front of Thunder Nation. I thought to myself this Doug Jones video can wait because since the Daily Thunder apparently doesn’t have one big boy storyteller on board of that abysmal blog of millennial nothingness…someone in the market besides Berry and Jenni should write about Andre’s remarkable comeback.
It is stunning to read fourth grade level content on what I guess is the No. 1 Thunder blog as far as traffic. But then again…Mary Fallin and Kevin Stitt have occupied the governor’s mansion in this state. It’s that Oklahoma thing. Wanting to be bad. The Peter Principle on steroids.
So this is Democrat Doug Jones the sitting U.S. Senator in Alabama who filled the seat after Jeff Sessions somehow ascended to become the Attorney General of the United States.
To me…the Jones vs. Tommy Tuberville race in Alabama is one I will be watching closely.
Usually…in states like Alabama and Oklahoma the GOP could literally nominate a dirt clod and be assurred of winning the office.
Clearly…Tuberville being the Trump sychophant in this race puts him in the favorite’s role, but still, Jones is a smart politician and the one who probably should hold the seat.
Tuberville has nothing on his resume which qualifies him for this position. He has the same qualifications as Mike Gundy.
Should Mike Gundy be a United States Senator?
The only difference is Gundy has a winning record in Big 12 play at O State while Tuberville was 13-17 in conference games while being the successor to Mike Leach at Texas Tech.
Tuberville was a solid defensive coordinator at Texas A&M under R.C Slocum… then landed the Auburn head coaching job where he did some nice things before Saban made it clear who the best ball coach in the state was and still is.
In 2004…Auburn went a perfect 13-0 and in reality should have played USC in the national championship game.
But I’m not sure how that makes him qualified to be a U.S. Senator other than the fact he licks Trump’s balls every chance he gets…. just like Terry Neese does in Oklahoma.
I thought Jones’ speech was one of the better ones I heard during the impeachment trial of Trump. I called his office and told his aides as much.
Anyway…we have Thunder basketball this week-end with the Thunder vs. the Utah Jazz so this was Smerconish Saturday today….because ostensibly even though I cover the world like CNN on here…I do love Thunder hoops.
