It was an unexpected win for a dejected fan base, a struggling Head Coach, and a mostly shocked national audience.
But a few of us could feel it, sensed somehow, an upset win lurked beneath the surface of our disappointment this season.
And when it happened, the pent up emotion broke the damn and the chinamen flooded the Palace field. OUr beleaguered SOONERS proved IT could still be a Snake Pit for visiting opponents!
Congratulations Brent Venables!
We all know the emotional battle you face every moment with your wife's health, and the relentless second guessing by your fan base, and the media.
Yet, you persevere!
You have kept your faith!
Lo & behold, the hand of Providence rewards your determination with a signature WIN!
Feels like a corner may have been turned. You deserve this!
So, now a date for the SOONERS IN Death Valley!
Long simmering memories of disrespect from the LSU fans and team, both in the National Title Game way back and the more recent humiliation by Joe Burrow & Co in the BCS semi-final.
Might this long-standing debt finally be collected?
Could the 4 day weekend prove to be an extra special THANKSGIVING for SOONER Fans?
Week 13 in Snarling Dogs saw a drop off in scoring.
There were 2 players who fired out a 3 team parlay of winners.
OldTimer and pippen BOTH won all 3 of their picks yesterday and are awarded a Snarling Dog. CONGRATS!
There were 19 Straight Up Winners selected in Week 13.
OldTimer, SwampSooner, WishBone, and EMan all notched 2 a piece.
Blue, formulaS, O Sooner Mex, gcruse7, Triple Option, cushcreekmont, pippen, SD-OU, SoonerLynx, Bixby_Sooner, and your humble host had 1 a piece. KUDOS!
Close only counts in Horseshoes & Hang Grenades, (and SD), and there were 5 who nailed 2 out of 3.
Blue, SwampSooner, WishBone, EMan, and yours truly were close...but no cigar. PROPS!
Two weeks to go and the SD & SU* Titles are still to be decided...BUT, WishBone has clinched the 2024 H&H Championship with 11 weeks out of 13 picking 2 of 3 winners. Consistently dead solid picking all year.
Well done 'Bone! SoonerLynx, JoeSooner, and EMan could still all pull within one.
SD-OU heads for the finish line still leading both the SD category with 9. cushcreekmont is one TripleCrown away from a tie and Boomerthang(missed you this week) JoeSooner, eman and pippen still mathematically alive but need 2 Triple Crowns to overtake the leaders.
The SU* contest is anybody's race to win. SD-OU has 20, cushcreekmont 19; gcruse7, EMan & JoeSooner have 18, and SoonerLynx is still alive with 17. WHO WANTS IT?
2 WEEKS TO PLAY. SEEMS LIKE WE JUST STARTED.
