Mad Dog shocked by OU’s early success, but…
OK, for weeks I have been battling the Internet Gods, my aging computer and my stupidity when it comes to computer e-mailing files.
After decades of no problems, Yahoo Mail and I got into a huge battle over their service and my email woes. I have finally kicked them to the curb and went with Google Chrome. Let’s say I’m hopeful about future emails, just as I am about our surprising Sooner football squad.
In what can only be described as a huge shock, OUr boys in the Crimson and Cream put an old-fashioned butt-whipping on the vaunted Michigan Wolverines by a tally of 24-13.
From this Houston Texas look-out, where I was held in the Gulag without my consent, that was quite a surprise – to me and the entire college football world.
The victory was stunning and skyrocketed OU’s NCAA cred.
The following week’s de-feathering of the over-matched Temple Owls have some thinking national championship contention.
That may come to pass, but, clearly, the unexpected and easy portion of the 2025-26 season is over — and a gauntlet awaits.
The questions all we pundits pundit on is OU really that for real?
The next few weeks are going to be like the Battle of The Bulge.
Here is the line-up for the rest of the season…
Auburn, Kent State, Texas, South Carolina, Mississippi, Tennesse, Alabama, Mizzouri, LSU.
Gauntlet deluxe.
Here’s the way I think it will turn out:
Auburn: Win; Kentucky, Win; Texas, Loss; South Carolina, Win; Ole Miss, Win; Tennessee, Loss (Josh wants to rub it in); Alabama, Surprise Win; Missouri, Win; LSU; Loss.
The season ends, and somehow, we sneak into the playoffs based significantly on the Michigan win and the rest of the victories in the vaunted SEC.
The season ends after a win and then a loss in the playoffs.
P.S. I want to thank my idol Hunter S.Thompson, and Magic Michael for allowing me to once again spew my predictions forth!
As my dear departed brother in journalism, crime and alcohol, H. Wayne “Blind Lemon” Singleterry always screamed at games: “Texas, if you guys had mothers, they’d hate your (expletive) guts…and Texas jump up and bite my…..well you get the rest.

Mad Dog Michael has a Hunter S. Thompson-esque view of the Sooner world that he denies was shaped by over indulgences and scheduled debauchery. He now lives south of the Red River, which makes him particularly irritable.
