Recently…one of my O State friends shared his thought with me that Brent Venables was Gary Gibbs II.
I did not reply because at this point I do not count O State football fans relevant or even remotely knowledgeable about the current world of college football. Anotherwords…I let it go because it would have been like arguing 2+2=4 with the fake Trump Christians.
I just let it go….and whispered to myself, “You stupid, clueless motherfucker. Stay close to your wheelhouse with that fathead Robert Allen and Pistols Firing and don’t ever veer from that path.”
Those of us who blog at a high content level know when to let that type of nonsensical horsehit go. Those type of thoughts and comments rightly belong on Jim Traber’s show on the Sports Animal.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Shane Beamer as well, and in my book Coach Beamer should be in the discussion for National Coach of the Year.
But I think Joe C and Joe H got it right. It’s just taken some time with Caleb Williams’ exit and a complete overhaul of Lincoln Riley’s Big 12 level mindset of nonphysical football.
The transition from the tier five level of what Big 12 football is without OU and Texas would have been tough even without Riley’s exodus to SoCal where he will eventually be fired. It takes some time and this first year wasn’t helped by the fact the Sooners are playing perhaps the nation’s toughest schedule.
So its a process, a journey.
Just like like fighting back from Stage 4, Catastrophic Level 5 bone cancer.
You have to believe in your faith of God, in yourself, and those in your inner circle. Plus…you have to work your ass off.
BTW…if Lincoln is at some point interested in coming back to Norman as the offensive coordinator or the QB coach that’s not something I would automatically dismiss.
Have a great Monday.
I need a workout song to get me revved up on a cold, cloudy Monday in Oklahoma.
