Fashionista: What the Voles (sic) are bringin’
Howdy do, my gawgeous Sooner Fashionistas! So glad to be back with you this wonderful weekend when we are going to discuss down home, country and western, Dollywood loving Knoxville, TN, that “scruffy little city” that is home to the Tennessee Voles, the cute little mammal that oft gets confused with a mole.
They do present just the most adorable little mascot!
Your Madame Fashionista has done her research of the fashion down Knoxville way and come to this very unfortunate conclusion: bony knees and high, bleach blonde, coiffed hair are the look.
Though this latter fad is fine when Auntie Dolly tries it, she is the ONLY one that should make that attempt. The knobby knees make an appearance when torn jeans with holes right over the patella are worn. Though the fashion is crude, you shouldn’t judge. That’s my job, of course.
Sooners get better in 34-19 win over Green Wave, but rugged SEC schedule next
It was a tale of two halves in the No. 15 Sooner’s 31-19 win over Tulane on Saturday.
First half: The offense was on track. The problems experienced in the first two games this season were gone (or perhaps hidden, due to masterful play calling by OC Seth Littrell).
OU was up 21-6 at the half.
Second half: Offensive line failures reared their ugly head, causing a pressured QB Jackson Arnold making his biggest sophomoric mistake of the season – a pick six that squandered a then 24-13 lead and made for an uncomfortable fourth quarter for the Sooner faithful.
Tulane was expected to be tough, given their narrow 34-27 loss to a strong then No. 17 Kansas State the week before. And we remember the close call with Tulane in 2021 (No. 2 Oklahoma won 40-35).
But, maybe we should have known all would end well. After all, the spectator contestant in the Chik-fil-a contest actually made the field goal.
