Sooners find a way to win — again

by

Imagine a drunken sailor behind the wheel of a beat-up pick up held together with bailing wire — and then watch him win the Daytona 500.

I don’t know what else to say about this Oklahoma Sooners football team, the team that came from behind and defeated LSU tonight 17-14 to punch its ticket to the College Football Playoffs.

It was a crazy ending to an improbable 10-win regular season.

The Sooners were behind 13-10 with only 4:13 left in the game, when QB John Mateer found Isaiah Sategna wide open downfield — as if the LSU secondary had a shock of dementia after an unexpected fireworks show from OU Ruf/Neks at the close of the third quarter and forgot to shadow the Sooners’ best player — and heaved an arching pass his way.

Sategna caught it, then scampered untouched to the end zone to give Oklahoma a 17-14 lead in the waning minutes of the game.

Buona Giornata, amori miei! ‘Tis time, ‘tis time for your beloved Fashionista’s next to last addition to this season. You see, I do try to keep my catty nature to myself but seeing as this is the 105th tiger mascot we’ve played this fall, I’ve decided to make said feline release my barbed tongue and I will use my Ultimate Pen when writing the PenUltimate column of 2025.  Here we go, rowr!

Top 7 bits of fashion advice to give LSU fans:

7. “Oh, I love that you’re so committed to the ‘comfortable” look. It’s so… practical.

6.”That’s a very brave choice for a Saturday morning.”

5. “Your haircut looks good, given what the stylist had to work with.”

4. “It’s great that you don’t worry about things matching perfectly. That’s a real time-saver, I bet.”

Dave: Sooners surpass expectations, but we want more

by

At the beginning of the year, I was thinking and hoping for an 8-4 season. I would have taken that and thought it would have been a decent year considering the schedule with a new quarterback and new offensive coordinator.

So now that the Sooners are 9-2, I should be satisfied, right?

Of course not, because now I, along with I assume everyone else, want more.

Oklahoma beat Missouri, again with a stifling defense that shut down the number running back in the country. The offense did just enough with one or two big plays to put up 17 points and give the defense all that it needed and more.

You really can’t say enough about the defense Venables has constructed this year. Despite our mediocre offense, the defense that continues to show up and show out week after week, means should we get in the playoffs, we will be able to hang with anyone in the country.
