It’s been a hectic week for me, but a good one. The foiliage trip to Arkansas was nice, but I feel like we were just a smidge in front of peak color. I didn’t get to fish, but I did line up a crappie and striper guide for a future trip. Since, I already have my White River guide, that being the former barber of Bill Clinton as my trout and walleye analyst…I would say I’m in a pretty good way.
It’s supposed to hit 80 degrees on Tuesday…so I’m thinking I’ll hit the family lake down south of Alex, Oklahoma and close out my largemouth season in that regard. We caught about twenty nice largemouths three weeks ago…so I’m hoping this trip is as good after the recent rains.
Great Warriors’ win last night for those of us in Warrior Nation in a half empty Pay.Com Center. Explain to me why the Thunder need a one billion dollar arena if the very weak Thunder fanbase does not support the team in the aftermatch of the Kevin Durant era.
All the whining from the Thunder fans after Steph and Draymond’s amzing game winner is so typical. The way I saw that last play was Draymond got hit from behind…thus projecting his body into the rim as Steph’s ball was going in regardless.
I wonder if Michael Cage and Little Nick Gallo will ever be the same after this loss.
Steve Kerr looks totally burned out as a coach right now. He shouldn’t have coached the U.S. FIBA team this summer. He should take a montb off and perhaps allow Chris Paul to be the player coach in his absence. CP3 and Draymond give this team a ton of leadership intangibles. Only one loss so far this season. Life without Jordan Poole is a nice basketball thing.
I’ll submit my first official 2023 Dub Nation Oklahoma entry on Monday morning.
Okay…so the last Bedlam Game… perhaps.
OU hasn’t brought their game since the Red River Rivalry. They were fortunate to beat UCF given the way they slept through that one albeit the Kansas loss which should have been another Sooner win after the Ethan Downs late interception.
But still I’m picking OU today because OU has the better team even though Ollie Gordon is possibly the back in the country.
I think OU’s keys are 1 Dillon being able to have a monster day both thru the air and on the ground, 2 ‘containing and tackling Ollie G as much as possible, 3 TACKLING THE F__KING ball carrier in time and space.
If Danny Stutsman can’t go full tilt today then my four guys to watch today are Kip Lewis, Kendall Dolby, and DeSean McCullough… and Jackson Arnold.
Why Jackson Arnold you might ask? I’m thinking perhaps if the Sooners can’t run today then maybe they should use a quasi-Wildcat as a changeup with Faruque as the offset back and turn Jackson loose a bit as a different look.
I haven’t played the OU Football Greatest Hits video for awhile. This would seem to be that time.
I’m going OU 37 – O State 31.
I’m so amped I’m heading off to the Health Center to do an additional forty minutes on the terrain bike.
BOOMER!
