In studio. Gotta get this done before the 11:00am kickoffs.
Here we go …it’s either put up or shut up time for OU as a team beyond Caleb Williams to start showing they have an argument for the Committee to consider. I believe OU will play well today. I believe their now healthier defensive backfield coupled with Isaiah Thomas, Nik Bonitto, Brian Asamoah, and others will pull their link on the chain today in Waco. I also believe OU’s offensive line will play better this week than they did against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. I like OU to win, but I wouldn’t take this game either way at OU -6.5.
I wonder if Marcus Major will be the power back close out back today in Waco. He’s an OKC kid from Millwood. Marcus along with former John Marshall Bear Justin Broiles could both be unsung heros for the Sooners coming down the stretch.
On my mano y mano versus the spread against Chris Jackson …I’m getting abused.
Chris Jackson 16-7, MJ (same as Michael Jordan) 11-12. I need to catch some magic in a bottle in a hurry is all I can say at this point.
My picks today are:
Texas… I’m taking the emotionally fragile Texas Longhorns at home and giving the 30 points as they attempt to get bowl eligible.
Texas A&M at Ole Miss…this is an extremely interesting game to me. A&M is still in play in the SEC West if Auburn could derail Alabama in the Iron Bowl at home. This is a sneaky huge game today in the college football landscape. I’ll take the Aggies and give the 2.5 in Oxford. Rememeber the third place team in the SEC gets the automatic Sugar Bowl berth vs. a Big 12 team.
On my upset special…I’m taking Penn State + 2 versus Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines.
I have to admit…I’m jacked about OU today. This in essence is the first of four potential play in or play out games for the Sooners. My game face is very much on. Chris Jackson is probably pacing liked a caged Tiger about right now.
It’s time to see what OU is or isn’t. Let’s go.
BOOMER!
