Sooner Fashionista’s words of wisdom: ‘Better to be looked over than overlooked’
Greetings, dear Sooner People!
Apparently a small brouhaha broke out this weekend. A little well-dressed bird named Pierre told me that the Sooner Nation was so brilliantly attired that the ensuing excitement caused the gridiron to be rushed in an impromptu fashion show on Saturday night.
I guess the need to show Alabamians how to dress was so desperately needed that it could not wait! Though I do appreciate the enthusiasm, I do need to remind you that we should act like we have presented ourselves outstandingly before. Especially when wearing heels. That turf is murder on Louis Vuitton red.

Relying on the legs of QB Jackson Arnold and true freshman RB Xavier Robinson — and a dominating defense spearheaded by veteran LB Danny Stutsman — Oklahoma soundly defeated No. 7 ranked Alabama 24-3, delivering a most improbable outcome of the Sooners’ final home game of its difficult inaugural SEC season, likely spoiling the Crimson Tide’s playoff hopes and securing OU’s 25-year bowl appearance streak, the second longest in college football.
Before Saturday night’s 6:30 pm kickoff, who would have thought this would happen?
Not many. Except the guys wearing the helmets with interlocking O and U thought so.
They played like it, anyway, throughout 60 minutes of football. It might be hindsight to say this, but Alabama never threatened the Sooners after Oklahoma scored on a 18 yard Robinson run with 36 seconds left in the second quarter.
Arnold completed 9 of 11 passes, but it was his 131 yards on 25 carries that carried the day. The Alabama defense appeared to have no answer for Arnold’s keepers.
“It’s huge,” Arnold said of the win. “I’ll say this would be a signature win in my playing career. You don’t have many like this. I don’t know if I’ll ever have the field rushed again when I play. But it’s s
