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.

Boomer to the Motherfuckin Sooner.
