The best and worst Halloween costumes for Sooners
Bon Jour, mon ami! It’s once again that time of year! When the air turns crisp, the leaves turn colorful and fall fashion is in the air. It’s too bad that it also coincides with one of the worst dressed times of the year.
I, of course, mean Halloween and the silly ideas people come up with. For example, painting yourself yellow and holding your hands up and going as a goal post may seem tempting, but what happens when the home town boys win?
Heaven forbid the unthinkable happens and hundreds of inebriated college students tackle you, pick you up, carry you to Lake Thunderbird and throw you in. Let’s be more creative and stylish, shall we?
With that being said, let’s discuss some of the top costumes of 2025 and how to pull them off with flair.
The legendary Scarecrow. From Wizard of Oz to Batman, the scarecrow is found in many forms. However, it doesn’t have to be dirty and worn with crows dipping and cawing around a smelly, hay ridden body.
How about a stylish three-piece suit, stuffed with cash (even the faux bills will do) topped with a timeless fedora? And we’ve no need for dirty birds. Find a flamingo to follow you about and make sure you feed it plenty of carotenoid rich shrimp to keep the color nice and flaming hot pink.
Dave: Ball control would help against Tennessee
There is little to no room for error in the SEC this year. And that made itself readily apparent last Saturday when the Sooners dropped their second contest of the season to the Rebels.
After digging themselves a hole in the first half, Oklahoma fought back and took the lead going into the fourth quarter. Then the wheels fell off as they went scoreless the rest of the way.
Inexplicably, Offensive Coordinator Ben Arbuckle went away from the run game that gave them the lead, and the comeback was no more. Even then, the Sooners had a great chance to pull the game out when Isaiah Sategna fielded a punt and had a great return to the Ole Miss 47-yard line, only to fumble the ball and end any realistic hope of a comeback win.
Although this team’s identity is defense, at some point the offense needs to contribute on a consistent basis. Ole Miss dominated the time of possession because the OU offense could not sustain drives.
This of course tired out the Sooner defense and they gave up the most points they had all year.
