I’ve slept on it and decided to not write about Mike Gundy’s self-inflicted quarterback situation even though it is clearly a debaucle as Spencer Sanders sits the bench in Oxford, Mississippi. Maybe in a couple of weeks… after the dust has settled a bit, I’ll touch on the quarterback situation at O State. I mean…Mike Gundy was the coach who gave us the iconic rant almost twenty years ago when he benched Bobby Reid for Zac Robinson. So unlike Jim Traber….I’m going to give Mike Gundy a little space on my blog for the time being.
OU beat Arkansas St. by a score of 73-0. This was basically a scrimmage in which Coach Venables will use to evaluate the depth chart rankings on his squad. So given those facts…I think it’s pointless to write much else about this season opener.
SMU comes to Norman this week-end. I expect OU’s offense to keep rolling and for the defense to be somewhat challenged by a decent SMU offense. I would think something like OU by a score of 52-19 would seem appropriate.
I joined up on the SEC Super Conference blog-messageboard this past week-end given that OU and Texas bloggers and fans were invited to do so a season before both begin play in the rugged SEC. I love it so far. You better be prepared to have your Big Boy britches intact before posting your passionate college football thoughts in place on this blog. My relationship with the LSU fans will be tenuous to say the least though.
I told Thunder Girl I was sorry about my locker room comment for which I was banished for life from the very soft, uber feckless Daily Thunder blog. I’m glad I did it because I value her friendship and it would be stupid to lose a good friend over something as weak as the current Daily Thunder. I’m to assume the next step in posting on the Daily Thunder board will be to send a vaginal swab to the three people who took over from Royce Young. Just saying.
But enough of that…as I told Thunder Girl…for MJ it’s about moving forward at this point and putting the past in the rear view mirror.
Peace and please enjoy this break in the oppressive Oklahoma heat today.
I might just head to Norman tomorrow to Othello’s for the Barry Switzer 50 Year Celebration Party. I haven’t decided as of yet.
