Michigan game key to a winning season
The pre-season game last Saturday provided some spectacular results, and some not so spectacular results.
John Mateer showed up and showed out. With little semblance of a running game to lean on, the new Sooner QB proved he is worth whatever NIL money he is being paid.
Throwing for almost 400 yards in his Oklahoma debut and breaking a record set by none other than Sooner great Baker Mayfield, Mateer catapulted himself into at least the top 5 of the Heisman discussion. (Even though any Heisman discussion this early is silly…but still…)
Mateer can’t just throw the ball, he can throw it with great accuracy. And he can throw his receivers open. He doesn’t need them to be wide open without anyone near them.
Add to that his running ability, and it’s not out of the discussion that Oklahoma could be looking at another statue on the east side of the stadium.
Ugh — Sooners face blue and maize color scheme
Good ‘morrow, my little Soonerlings! I hope your days have been finey, shiny and most of all sublimey. Mine certainly have been.
After my “unmatched” (this is only allowed in competition, never in fashion) column including male cheerleaders last week, I actually had one contact me. A cheerleader, not a column.
After he was able to circumnavigate through my security systems that include but are not limited to fingerprint scans, my Papipoo, Prince Charlie, and a Project Runway type judgment, I am happy to introduce Brock, a wonderfully talented male cheerleader to my column. He is most recently from Maricopa County, Arizona where he urged on the Fighting Artichokes of Scottsdale Community College. “Fighting Artichokes?” you may ask.
