But, to weigh in on one name I've been hearing, I DON"T want Dan Mullen. DO NOT think he's a good fit at OU. Stay in the broadcast booth Dan!
The Crimson Tide comes to Norman next Saturday. As always, I'm hopeful but admittedly daunted by the prospect. Bama seems to have hit their stride under 1st year HC De Boers, and Milroe looks like a QB who could have a big game,vs. the OU secondary.
NOW, in Snarling Dogs...DOWN THE STRETCH THEY COME!!!
Lots of scoring in Week 12!
There were 2 players who nailed it this week with a TRIPLE CROWN-3 PICKS, 3 SU*, 3 SD's!!!
SD-OU, the leade rsince Week 2 not only holds his lead but extends it with his 3rd TRIPLE CROWN THIS SEASON as we head toward the wire.
And Defending Champ cushcreelmont makes a late season charge & surges into 2nd place with his own 2nd TRIPLE CROWN. PROPS TO BOTH!
There were 3 0ther players who won all 3 of their Underdog selections.
SwampSooner, pippen, and Triple Option accomplished this little game's objective by picking All 3 Winners. CONGRATS!
There were 23 Straight Up Winners by my count in Week 12.
Boomerthang, SwampSooner, formulaS, EMan, Bixby_Sooner, and your humble host ALL had 2 a piece.
Blue, SoonerLynx, pippen, JoeSooner, Triple Option ALL had 1 a piece. KUDOS!
Close only counts in Horseshoes and Hand Grenades (and Snarling Dogs), and 10[ players "missed it by that much."
WishBone, Boomerthang, formulaS, EMan, SoonerLynx, Bixby_Sooner, JoeSooner, Oklahombre, O Sooner Mex, and yours truly ALL picked 2 out of 3 winners. Good Job!
Usually the SD race is 14 Weeks long and concludes with the Conference Title Games slate, but with the scheduling this year it looks like the Championship Games will extend it to 15 Weeks.
The Conf. Title Games are to be played Friday 6 DEC & Saturday 7 DEC, so with 3 remaining weeks once again ALL 3 SD TROPHY'S ARE STILL TO BE DETERMINED! Spur your thoroughbreds ST.
SD-OU leads the contest in SD. Defending Champ cushcreekmont his closest pursuer with 6, and with 3 weeks left Boomerthang, JoeSooner, and EMan not out of it with 3.
SD-OU also leads in SU* with 19. JoeSooner and cushcreekmont right behind him with 18. gcruse7 (missed you this week) has 17 and SoonerLynx & EMan lurk with 16.
WishBone leads the field in H&H with 10 weeks picking 2 out of 3. SoonerLynx and JoeSooner right there with 8. With 3 weeks remaining EMan and Boomerthang still alive with 7.
