Bad blood and all, which OU team will show up against Texas Tech Red Raiders?
The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
In keeping with the Halloween season the Sooners have come to resemble this classic. How in the world can they look so inept in the Cotton Bowl and so perfect in Manhattan? It’s beyond me.
But everything went OU’s way in dismantling Snyder’s boys in the Little Apple. Offense, defense, players and coaches could do no wrong. It helped a little bit that for some reason the Wildcats came out trying to throw the ball all over the field. First of all, that’s not even remotely their strength. And secondly, did they not watch the tape from OU’s debacle in Dallas? Texas ran all over us. Why would you at least not try that first?
I guess I could understand trying to catch the Sooners off guard, but they know their QB can’t throw the ball. Very strange. And by the middle of the second quarter it was too late to try anything else. Game was over.
Anyway, a great game for the Sooners, which now begs the question, which Oklahoma team shows up to play Texas Tech Saturday afternoon at Owen Field?
Bevo IV dies at age 13 of cancer
Bevo died Friday. The Longhorn mascot of the Texas Longhorns was 13.
The steer died at the ranch where he lived. He had been retired earlier in the week after his diagnosis and had not made the trip to the Cotton Bowl the previous weekend for the annual OU-Texas game.
“He was so big and strong, but he had such a sweet personality and a gentle soul,” said Ricky Brennes, executive director of the Silver Spurs, the mascot’s handlers and caretakers. The Silver Spurs had announced Oct. 7 that the steer had been stricken with a life-threatening condition.
