I’m pretty amped for our two Conference Championship Sunday games today. Russell Westbrook struggled yesterday on ABC versus the Timberwolves, but so did every other member of th Nuggets. You have a game like that now and again.
Coversely, my Sooners won their second straight SEC game with a critical one point win at the buzzer inside of an overflow crowd inside of Bud Walton Arena. If you’ve never watched a game inside of Bud Walton Arena…you’re not really a college basktball fan. An incredible homecourt atmosphere. Kind of like a macro version of Gallagher Iba back when it was small and they had a DI basketball program under Coach Sutton.
My Sooners improve to 15-4 with a mid-week road game at Texas A&M and a home game on Saturday against a surging Vanderbilt squad. The game on Saturday will be my first game attended since the December 3rd game against Georgia Tech. I have consulted with Dr. Showalter and we agree if I wear my OU mask there should be no problem with me sitting on the floor. MJ’s chemo quarantine is officially over…as in done.
I like Philly if Jalen Hurts’ ankle is healthy today. Philly has the best running back in the league in Saquon Barkley and the best offensive line in the NFL. It’s hard for me to pick the Cinderella Redskins given they have one of the league’s weaker rushing defenses. Note…I still call them the Redskins. It’s because of weakass lit-woke nonsense like this Donald Trump got a second term. Jaden Daniels…I love you, dude. But this could be a tough one for you.
I love Josh Allen as well. If the Bills were playing any other team in the AFC today…I’d be picking Buffalo. Unfortunately, they’re playing against Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce inside of venerable Arrowhead Stadium. Another iconic sports venue.
So I’m thinking of a Super Bowl rematch of two years ago.
In honor of Toby Keith and Little Toby Keith it will be Toby Keith week thru Wednesday here at okcthunderground.com this week.
Enjoy the games.
Nirvana and Toby Keith on the same page…why not?
