Sooner Fashionista takes time to find herself (or the right outfit) before OU-Texas week
Hello, my Sooner Lovelies! How you shine in your Crimson and Cream, never give up dressing the dream! Those colors never run, you know. ‘Tis true. They may get muddy and icky depending on how Mother Nature treats her beloved Norman, OK but they will always remain true blue… without the blue…well, you know what I mean.
Brock has rudely reminded me I’ve gotten off task once again. Back to Kent State and this week.
Anyhoo! As many of you are aware we are merely one week away from facing those overrated bovines down south known as “Long. Horns.”
Everyone knows that long is out this year. Whether they be cows or skirts or cows in skirts. See Texas Cheerleader. Oh, I’m so naughty!
Bad News: Hand injury sidelines Mateer
The Sooner’s season dimmed Tuesday with the news that QB John Mateer will undergo right hand surgery Wednesday that will likely sideline him for the next month.
Head coach Brent Venables said he expects Mateer, who is No. 1 on most Heisman watch lists, to return to the field at some point in the season, but when is up in the air.
Mateer sustained the injury to his throwing hand early in Saturday’s exciting win over Auburn. The fact he finished with 271 yards passing and one touchdown through the air while also rushing for a score in the fourth quarter is remarkable, considering he was playing with a fractured thumb.
“After consulting with medical experts, it became clear that surgery is the best option for John and his short- and long-term future,” the Oklahoma coach told reporters. “He’s extremely disappointed he will miss some game action but is eager to correct the issue and move forward. As he is with everything, we know he will be aggressive with his rehabilitation and work to return to the field as quickly as possible.”
