Fashionista: Cougar fashion is tricky
Greetings all you lovely guys and dolls of the Sooner nation.
I’m happy to tell you it’s time to move from aviary predator chic to mammalian predator chic. Yes, dears, this week we discuss Houston and the Cougars.
And if there is anything I can truly relate to it’s these predators with sharp nails and keen eyes to pounce just when the right prey is in sight. Young, fabulous prey that can keep a middle-aged Cougar on her toes. Not too young of course. Anyone under 21 is strictly verboten and this fashionista does not approve, Mrs. Robinson.
Just so, Cougar fashion is tricky. One must be willing to show just enough skin to entice but leave just a little enough covered, so if he needs a mothering figure, one is there.
A nice skirt with a high slit perhaps. A snug button up shirt with a few unbuttoned to entice, but not display in vulgarity.
Sooners do the expected — blow Temple away 51-3
If there is any takeaway from Oklahoma’s 51-3 win over Temple on Saturday night it was that the defense — which grabbed six Owls turnovers — was everything as billed. But the offense has a ways to go.
“I loved how aggressive and confident our guys were moving around, flying to the ball and being aggressive and knocking the ball loose,” Coach Brent Venables said. “Fantastic job by the defense.”
The Sooners had fumbles recovered by Terry, senior safety Billy Bowman Jr. and junior safety Robert Spears-Jennings.
Concern about the offense, which scored many points, but failed to convert on only one of 12 third downs and saw starting center Branson Hickman get injured (sprained ankle), was not relieved, despite the offense scoring 44 points. In addition Jalil Farooq’s season likely ended when he sustained a broken foot.
Farooq’s injury compounded a depth problem at wide receiver. Top returning receiver Nic Anderson was out for this game and Jayden Gibson suffered a season-ending knee injury in practice.
