Second year in SEC pivotal for Sooners’ coach

by

Oklahoma football in the SEC…take two. 

Season one was for lack of a better term, awful.  It resulted in the second losing season in the past three years for the Sooners.  And that would also be the second losing season out of three total for head coach Brent Venables. 

Fourth time is the charm?   Brent had better hope it is.  With the amount of money involved in college football these days, championships are expected at a program like Oklahoma.

To be fair, Venables was dealt a lousy hand when he took over.  Maybe worse than we were led to believe.  During his press conference this week, Brent made comments that highlighted how bad it really was.  No culture.  A bunch of individuals out for themselves rather than a team.  A recruiting system in shambles that ignored positional needs. 

And maybe most concerning of all, multiple failed drug tests. 

Being someone who takes the high road, he stopped short of saying who was to blame for all this.  But of course, we all know who it was.  (Hey USC…how is that working out for ya?  Hope you’re getting your money’s worth. Because you sure opened the check book for that one.)

New QB, healthy O-line and strong defense bring optimism for Sooners

by

The Sooners enter year two of their SEC experience hopeful that a new QB, a healthier WR corps and an already strong defensive line will improve their chances against the same murderer’s row conference schedule in 2025.

It will be an important test for head coach Brent Venables who is on the hot seat in his fourth year at Oklahoma, after a disappointing 6-7 record last year and managing to win only two conference games.

Certainly the second game of the season at home against Michigan will set an early tone for OU; but, the real test comes in October when the Sooners face No. 3 Texas, go on the road against a stout No.13 South Carolina and then return to Norman to face No. 24 Ole Miss.

Sooner Fashionista’s words of wisdom: ‘Better to be looked over than overlooked’

by

Greetings, dear Sooner People! 

Apparently a small brouhaha broke out this weekend. A little well-dressed bird named Pierre told me that the Sooner Nation was so brilliantly attired that the ensuing excitement caused the gridiron to be rushed in an impromptu fashion show on Saturday night. 

I guess the need to show Alabamians how to dress was so desperately needed that it could not wait!  Though I do appreciate the enthusiasm, I do need to remind you that we should act like we have presented ourselves outstandingly before.  Especially when wearing heels.  That turf is murder on Louis Vuitton red.

Now we look forward to this week.  And, darlings, I’ve no patience for another striped villain of the feline persuasion.  We all know: orange is a no-no, real fur is also a no-no.  Creative naming of mascots should be, like a good visit to the powder room,a oui-oui.  I shall write the SEC posthaste.

Therefore, I leave you with some final thoughts on the past Sooner Fashion season.
