Brenna and Roger are neck and neck in the lead at 15 points after the fourth week of the season. Our panel of experts predicted this week’s top college football games. WEEK THREE RESULTS Last week’s games (winning team in bold)…
Imagine a dozen giant elephants wearing kilts and guzzling from beer steins, all the while singing a gaelic song consisting entirely of two notes pronounced repetitively.
“Oom pah, oom pah, oom pah”. And then repeat for 24 more measures of music.
Then imagine this same troop of normally affable musicians of the animal kingdom all pissed off and stampeding.
That’s the Pride of Oklahoma tuba section this week. They boycotted band practice on Monday in protest of Director Justin Stolarik’s unpopular changes to the band.
This is a big deal. The fact the tuba section brought this attention to themselves is a big deal. Usually this group goes about their business without regard to any recognition or notice from the rest of the world.
The football gurus said Blake Bell’s performance against Tulsa gave him a pass efficiency rating of 202.4.
I don’t know what the heck that means. But, I don’t need any football stat to tell me that Oklahoma has found their quarterback.
No disrespect to Trevor Knight — he’s the future (and a bright one indeed, regardless of his shaky start in the first two games of this season) — but Bell’s 27 of 37 passes for 413 yards in the air and 24 yards of effective scrambling, won him the job.
More importantly, Bell looked comfortable and leader-like in the Sooners 51-20 win over the Tulsa Golden Hurricane.
This should come as no surprise. Bell has been on Owen Field enough the last two years as the “Bell Dozer” — always in pressured situations in the red zone (remember his game-tying TD in Bedlam last year that gave the Sooners the opportunity to win in overtime?).
