Fashionista: SEC brings new reason to dress up
Hello all you Sooner Fashion Folk! It’s your old gal pal the Sooner Fashionista to help you navigate the twist and turns that can be so Fashionatingly Frustrating: Football Season here in the great state of Oklahoma!
Yes, your fashionista has started creating words. One has to be on their toes to make a splash in the middle of this very important time of year. This year we will be discussing:
How the SEC’s Us. Each week will bring a new reason to dress properly for the season.
However, this week, we get an easy start. We face an opponent who isn’t even in the SEC. They are in the AAC conference. Aac, Ack, Eek and Eww is right. We begin with Temple, the Owls from some place up North. Who really cares?
They rely on sweaters and tuques up that way. I mean, how Canadian! Or in this case, Can’t-nadian.
It would seem, as their mascot shows, that the fashion up that way must represent feathers. Possibly talons and beaks as ritualistic jewelry.
Talk about passe. That went out with Lewis and Clark, darlings. Whenever your competition relies on feathery frippery adorned with druidic relics, possibly to call upon heathen god’s, anything in Crimson and Cream will pull you waaaay further ahead on the road to chic flavor sensation of the Oklahoma kind.
The next Soonerguys adventure: the SEC
A while back we made use of this thing called the internet to report back to family and friends about our trip to an Oklahoma football bowl game. Posting our fun on the internet was easier than sending a bunch of emails.
That evolved into an annual thing, and then, during football season, a weekly thing. And as things are want to do, they become things that get out of hand. And before long we put a name to it and called it Soonerguys.com.
As the Sooners begin their new adventure into the SEC, this year also marks the 26th year of our website. (And yes, in the beginning it was on AOL. And no, I do not still have a flip phone.)
Today we also have a Facebook page, soonerguys.com, and we are on Twitter, @soonerguys (where the rants can really flow during OU football broadcasts — which reminds me I need to delete some of the improvident posts).
My dear old law partner (and devout Sooner) Gary Chubbuck would introduce me to his friends and other lawyers not as his business associate but rather the guy who runs Soonerguys. After all, anyone can try a lawsuit, but it takes something extra to share your fanaticism on the internet to be archived for posterity on some NSA server.
(Gary once wrote a column for the site providing an analysis of play calling from an engineering perspective. I’m not sure I understood it, but it got a lot of clicks).
