I had a great week-end of sports as I watched both the OU and O State games with my brother and two of my newphews. We attended this function at the hallowed Half-Time Sports Bar & Grill in southwest OKC and it was cool.
Both teams are still alive, but I pretty much have aligned myself with the fact I’m still hazy on the tiebreakers… as is the current commissioner of the Big 12. It is …what it is.
In fact…I’v even started preparing for the trek to San Antonio for the Alamo Bowl if after finishing 10-2 that is where the Sooners might be headed on December 28th. I can’t wait to be amongst the the throng at the iconic Howl at the Moon Piano Bar the night before the game.
O State…bless their hearts…we should just let them go to Jerry’s World even if we win out on the tiebreakers. I mean…after Bedlam… they now have a permanent banner in their stadium which goes…ETERNAL BEDLAM…27-24.
I mean…seriously…bless their hearts. Besides…this could be the kind of ending which propels book sales for my soon to be NY Times bestseller Mullet King: The Boone Pickens-Michael Gundy College Football Saga.
I can’t wait to do the book tour. Truly….one of the top three things on my Bucket List.
I had a brief meeting with my producer this morning on the soon to be Dub Nation Oklahoma Podcast. I thought it went well. T-Cullpeppper ask me… “Do you have any idea what we’ll talk about or how we’ll structure the podcasts?”
I cooly replied, “We’ll go in their totally unprepared and somewhat flow with a few things Thunder related instead of pretending to be like the Daily Thunder nerd-wannabee GM types. Flow with my lead.”
Great game last night in San Francisco as the youthful Thunder roared back from 18 points down to beat the aging, yet iconic Warriors in overtime by a score of 130-123.
Shai, Chet, and JDub were utterly sublime. So me let me close with this…when a team ownership group like the one in OKC has three young dudes like these three on their roster…..the time to start winning big is NOW while the payroll window is still open. Since in fact you’re asking this city to almost exclusively fund a billion dollar arena when your current Forbes valuation is $3.2 billion dollars.
Sam Presti…Please you monetize some of your multitude of asstes and bring a big banger on the board to compliment Chet.
As you often say, Mr. Presti…”Scared money…don’t make money. Get a banger.” Aaron Gordon becomes a free agent soon. Why not do to Denver, what Drayond did to OKC in the summer of 2016. Just a thought.
Peace and have a wonderful Thanksgiving Week.
