Sooner Fashionista: No ‘horns orange up north
A vacay getaway as I walk the Sooner Runway!
Good Day, my Sooner lovelies! Or as they say at my current location, “Bonjour, mon ami!” Yes, your beloved fashionista is strutting the streets of Winnipeg, Canada as we speak. Brock is here as well. Who else will I get to carry my luggage then give me tootsie massages later? I believe I’ll let him hang around a bit longer.
Now as to Great White fashion. The Canadian people do like their hockey jerseys over football attire, but I have yet to see one dreaded Longhorn rag upon any person and/or animal.
Nor have I seen any orange.
Our Northern neighbors at least have that much fashion sense. I was even able to find a statue of “The Sower” which is very reminiscent of our own glorious sculpture on the Sooner’s hallowed soil.
So, in closing, I can honestly say, even Canadians hate Texas! Resplendent!
What does Brock say?
Dave: texas….man, I hate those bastards
The Sooners dispatched Kent St. last Saturday afternoon with relative ease by the score of 44-0. Second string quarterback Michael Hawkins Jr. stepping in for John Mateer played well. Just not great.
There were several positives. He threw for a touchdown and ran for another with no turnovers.
But there were some negatives. At times he held the ball longer than he should have, allowing pressure to get to him and forcing the scramble. Which isn’t always bad as he has the wheels to break off big runs.
This of course was his first action of the season, and he was probably still getting used to his receivers. He ended up going 14 of 24 passing, which isn’t terrible, but again, not great.
I had hoped the offense was going to have more success against a very bad team in Kent St. It might be weird to say that as they put up 44 points. But seven of those were from a defensive scoop and score. And remember, Florida State and Texas Tech each scored over 60 points against the Golden Flashes this year.
