Fashionista: Tate’s skin in the game

by

Long Field Goals, Short Pants!

juppu’wI’, nuqneH! Yes, my vast language skills reach even unto the stars!  All are welcome here. As long as you love the Sooners, you are welcome to embrace the fashion advice I lovingly bestow each week when the autumn leaves and the foes of our beloved Sooners are falling. 

It’s time for your Treasure Trove of Tres Chic to address the elephant on the gridiron. I am not speaking of the weeping pachyderm spoken of last week.

Nay, nay! I am, in fact, speaking of Tate Sandell, our amazing field goal kicker who decided to give the ladies and some gentlemen a reason to watch the game on Saturdays.  Yes, I am referring to the amazing “booty” short pants he wore when playing those awful orange Vols of Tennessee.


If it makes an athlete perform like that, I say let’s send the whole team out in Daisy Dukes! 


I do realize a certain commentator that I have too much class to mention here said, and I quote “Just dressing like that should be a penalty. What the hell is it? Wearing shorts out there”.  Do I hear the same disgust when he sees the Brazilian Sand Volleyball team play? No? Hmmmm.

I say the man can wear a mankini (which I don’t recommend anyone wear at any time) as long as he has completed 4/4 FG’s from 55, 51, 40, 55 as he did in that game. If it makes an athlete perform like that, I say let’s send the whole team out in Daisy Dukes! 

Oh, my.  Is it hot in here?  

I’m sure Kirk Herbstreit (oh, dear. I said I wouldn’t mention his name.  Oh, well.  It’s out now), who believes all football ball players should be Alpha Males, would have strode down to the field and beat our kicker to a pulp at the next commercial break if he weren’t busy getting his makeup touched up.  Poor fella.

There you have it.  The Fashionista’s Fantastic take on the recent Sooner Fashion scandal. 

In a nutshell, if he keeps the kicks long long, his knickers can be short short.  Oh, and beat Missouri.  The…um…oh, yes…Tigers. (Boooooring)

‘Til next week when we take on the LSU … Tigers.  Really?

Ciao,

Your Sooner Fashionista
