Mad Dog: A Bedlam *year* comes down to Saturday in Stillwater

by

So, it’s Bedlam week. The days leading up to The Big Red’s game against its second most-hated rivalry – The Oklahoma State Cowboys – A.K.A The Cowpokes, The Cowpukes, and a host of other derogatory names that best be left unwritten and unpublished here.

It will be a game of the ages – if both teams play up to their capabilities.

For our beloved and sometimes infuriating Sooners, however, the 2021 football season has been three months of Bedlam. One game after another.

The Tulane game…I can’t, I just can’t. Kansas? KANSAS! For the love of everything holy! What the heck was that? Time to erase that from my memory. Were’s my vodka and spicy tomato juice?

Texas? Well, it was a miracle at the time, but seeing UT’s performance the rest of the season, perhaps that should have set alarm bells off loud and clear through the entire Sooner Nation. Texas stinks so bad Longhorn fans are already trying to massacre coach Steve Sarkisian in a pubic scene reminiscent of the Alamo slaughter.

Big play defense seals the deal for Sooners’ 28-21 win over Iowa State

by

Big plays on defense helped Oklahoma ward off a Kolar-esque Cyclone attack and capture a 28-21 win over Iowa State on Saturday.

A hard hit on ISI QB Brody by cornerback Lawrence Key dislodged the ball and allowed Jalen Redmond to scoop and score on a 42-yard fumble recovery to give the Sooners a second quarter lead that the Cyclones were never able to overcome.

But with 2:57 left in the game, Iowa State managed to narrow the gap, scoring on a two-yard Purdy-to-Kolar pass that capped a 75-yard drive made up mostly of passes to the Norman North alum Charlie Kolar.

In the closing seconds of the game the Sooners defense ended the Cyclone threat on a tipped pass and interception by Pat Fields, ending the game in fitting fashion on a big defensive play.

Dave: OU and ISU — the two underachievers of the Big 12

by

After the Baylor game, I asked my brother and sister in a text what their thoughts were.

My brother’s reply was “We are what they thought we were.” And my sister’s was “This team has so much talent but continues to under achieve.”

I’m tempted to just end this article right here and say the Worry Meter is at 90% this week and have a good day. I think those two replies sum up Oklahoma’s season perfectly.

We as fans didn’t want to admit it, but 9-0 was fool’s gold. The signs were right there in front of us.

Close calls against several mediocre to bad teams. Teams Oklahoma were expected to bury at the start of the season.
