With all due respect to Lincoln, I not only would have kicked the field goal…I would have run a fake field goal and scored six for the tiebreaker system. Coach Aranda was fine kicking the field goal.
This is what you need to address with your team is my estimation of the situation with your underacheivers:
If you take the time to read my blog what you will observe is that I’m not a homer fanboy sychophant like the Toby Rowlands, Dave Hunzickers, Little Nick Gallos and Low Energy Royce Youngs of the local Oklahoma sports media.
I take pride in being passionate, yet cold steele objective in my takes at the end of the day.
I may bleed crimson, but I’ll drop Crimson in my poll when they lay an egg and be big enough to put Oklahoma State where I think they deserve to be in this week’s poll.
I still can’t believe though that Texas actually lost at home to Kansas.
Vanderbilt > Texas….right? James Franklin actually went 24-15 during his time as Vandy’s coach. Maybe in retropect he should have been the hire in Austin.
Right now Mike Gundy is my leader in the clubhouse for National Coach of the Year. He still needs to loosen the reins a little more with Spencer Sanders, but he may be waiting to do that on Nov. 27th in Stillwater. I would think O State’s style of play would translate well in cold, wet weather. Just a thought looking forward.
I don’t know if Buckeye Homer Kirk has his poll out yet, but here’s my 12 Team Poll which should be the template for this year’s bracket.
1 Georgia
2 Alabama
3 Oregon
4 Ohio State
5 Oklahoma State
6 Michigan (If they beat Ohio State they invert with Kirk’s Buckeyes…pretty simple and the Buckeyes drop beyond Cincy)
7 Cincy
8 Michigan State
9 Notre Dame
10 Baylor
11 Oklahoma
12 Ole Miss
On my bubble
13 Wake Forest
14 Houston
15 UTSA
16 Team Leach in Starksville
I’m going to recap the Thunder’s game tonight at Brooklyn to see what the Thunder can do with Kevin Durant on the road. I told you both the Thunder and Sacramento Kings are pretty much mirrors of themselves currently. That was a robust 4th period on Friday night at the Peake. Lots of fun energy on the floor.
Note…I’ll always call it the ‘Peake’ because I don’t think OKC would have ever landed an NBA team without Aubrey’s chip on a shoulder vision of what Oklahoma could be if they would just move beyond the Dwight D. Eisenhower window of American history/culture.
