Iowa State

Back again from untamed India, land of tigers, elephants, and unformed stools. As part of my vacation experience I was fortunate enough to miss the KState game. I did read a recap and it sounds like it was an all time classic ball-stomp. The normally reliable Honeycunt failed to come through so many times he'd be falling back on that communications degree if this were the NFL. What a bummer, and it looked like Knight had a reasonably good game. I could well be misinterpreting everything but this is the best I could glean from a recap and box score. Anyway, this weeks post will be brief again but next week should be back up to sub-par crap (from pure dogshit). I don't know a ton about ISU. I know they've lost some stinkers but have played some teams tough. Calzone Mangino is guiding their offense as deftly as he plates up at a buffet. I think it will be a challenge today on the road. I hope the sooners can right the ship and get things going again.

Offense

It's getting awfully hard not to pick Sterling Sheppard. Knight looks to him on nearly every passing down. To Sheppard's credit, he's been pretty lights out. I'm not going to even attempt to resist that temptation and am picking Sterling to have a big day in Ames.

Defense

I'm going with Dominique Alexander here. I think he's due to have a nice day, with no real meaningful thought behind that pick. I like him, and that's enough for me today. (This is exceptionally weak shit today, wow).

Score

Apologies for the garbage today. My trip is coming to a close and with my beloved Royals narrowly missing the completion of their Disney movie, I've paid nearly zero attention to the sports world. That said I still like the Sooners in this one. If they can't win on the road at Iowa State, the problems are much bigger than anyone might've thought. I like OU to get it done with a solid rebound, 34-20.

OU - K State

Apologies, folks. This week I've been as worthless as OU's first half offense was against Texas and haven't put shit up on the board here. Nate's in India presumably getting smashed off fermented coconut milk and hanging out with the Growler monkeys, flinging feces at passersby. So I thought I had some time. Well, a win is a win. I'd rather be 5-1 than 4-2 at this point in the game so let's take that golden cowboy hat and haul ass back up to Norman. We have a big one here this week against the Ol' Turtleneck. This one's going to be tough. The Wildcats still have a guy named Lockett who, last time we played, made a mockery of our defense and almost scored himself a trip to New York. OFFENSE Um, we have to get better on first down. And second. And third. I'm really trying to remember a 2nd and short opportunity. TFrye likened Heupel to the dude from A Beautiful Mind where, if something doesn't go just so, he gets all discombobulated. I think that's giving way too much credit. I think Heupel's drawing with crayons on the back of an Applebee's kids menu up in the booth while the defense stays on the field for six minutes at a time. Anyway, I'm going Trevor Knight here. I think he shows signs of, er, something this week. It's at home, big game. Hopefully he can get settled in. DEFENSE Man these guys have got to stop being their own worst enemy on third down. They have to get off the field. K State will try to bruise them and Lockett will possibly make Zack Sanchez look like a cardboard cutout. I'm going Eric Motherfuckin Striker here. Let's blitz a little. Get them out of their gameplan a little bit. SCORE I'm going 24-21 here in a game closer than the score would indicate. BOOMER TO THE MOTHERFUCKIN SOONER

K State

Greetings from balmy India on this fine Saturday. That's right, this post comes all the way from the Asian continent. Not to mention it is being (sub-optimally) typed out on my phone. As a result of time discrepancies and international charges etc., the superbly done steamroller chat will not be produced this week. However, I can promise this post will be similarly half-assed and markedly more concise. The predictions are going to be short so that I might go back to my quest of procuring horrific diarrhea and sweating.

Offense

The offense, as you may have noticed has been pretty terrible lately. Nearly nothing has worked and the Trevor Knight Clinic presented courtesy of Alabama has been off the air since its initial debut. Bottom line is I have no real idea who to pick so in an "as-good-as-someone-else" mode of selection, I pick Blake Bell. I mean, he's done nearly nothing all season, so it makes sense. Errrr, gameplan, scheme (trailing off...)

Defense

After promising early season returns, it appears the Crimson defensive juggernaut has rescinded to the soft, absent on third down unit we've grown to despise over the last, oh, decade plus. I'm taking Eric Motherfuckin Striker. Haven't picked him in a while so, might as well.

Score

After making texas look respectable last week, I have almost zero confidence against Bill Snyder's minions. However I rubbed a statue of a hat-wearing elephant with 12 arms yesterday and it told me OU will win this one 27-21. Come back next week for 300 more words of hasty drivel!
