Musicial Coaches…..

As most of you know, I don’t follow sports that much, but, it seems to me that there was an extraordinarily huge number of firing and hiring of coaches – both college and pro – this year….. Has the “WIN or you’re outta here” philosophy kicked (field goal – 3 pts.) in or what?…… [...]

Bradford’s Injury

Since I got home at 1300 today the top story on the news today has been the injury of The OU Quarterback Sam Bradford. Ok lets get some perspective.
There are Thousands of soldiers serving in wars all over the globe.
The president is proposing a Socialized Health Care Plan.
A burgular was shot and Killed in Nichols [...]

Bob Stoops PLEASE GO……

……Somewhere – Anywhere…… As long as it is AWAY FROM Oklahoma!…… As most of you know, I’m not a real big sports nut, but, living in (or being from) Oklahoma, it’s just a natural thing to follow the exploits of the OU football program, even if you’re one of those OSU fanatics, but, [...]

Flip a Coin……

Well, Oklahoma City stole Seattle’s basketball team, and, now the State of Oklahoma is sending in ground troops in the form of OU football players and fanatic fans for an assault on the University of Washington’s stadium….. I heard they had orders to bring the stadium back with them!…… Rumors?…. Maybe….. [...]

OU Beats OU……

Yep, there were 22 men on the field, all with the same goal in mind…… It was OU/Colorado vs OU….. Both OU’s offensive and defensive lines took a short trip to the Bahamas, or maybe it was a 4 quarter long “Starbucks” (or “Seattle’s Best”) break…… Oh, sorry, they were playing in [...]

BARRY BONDS-THE BEATLES?……………………………………

I know most of this community aren’t into sports, but I found this quote interesting:
“And if nothing else, we can say that Bonds is truly the greatest steroids hitter in major league history. I know, I know, that’s a stupid statement, satisfying to no one… but then again, as Chuck Klosterman pointed out rather amusingly, [...]

It Is Halloween!…..

……and a real scary one too!….. I just read in the paper that the Seattle SuperSonics are, as of today, owned by Oklahomans….. Ouch!….. All because the Sonics think they are too good for the Key Arena….. Is that “StupidSonics”???….. Just wait until they get to Oklahoma….. What is [...]

Sports-A-Rama…..

It’s getting close to that time of year again….. Baseball’s already into the season and football’s cranking up now….. I thought it might be interesting for everyone into sports (or not) to pick the winners – The World Series – College National Football Champions – Superbowl Champions….. A friend of mine who’s [...]

Money Maggots At Work…….

Oh, I guess I’m supposed to be politically correct and call them magnates, but I think maggots fits much better…… Not really being a sports nut nor a gambler (I think if gambling laws were enforced you would see a very serious drop in the interest of professional sports)…… At 5:00 pm CST [...]

Tournament

With the first game starting in about an hour, has everybody filled out their bracket?
As far as local interest goes, I have OU making it to the second round, Washington making it to the round of 16, and Texas beating Kansas in the semi-final game. UConn takes it all (not really out on a [...]

Skiing in Germany

Randalf asked in a previous post how skiing differed in the German Alps.  Well the main difference I found was with the view. (That first picture is from the top of Jenner in Berchtesgaden.)  The alps are absolutely beautiful and quite more jagged than the Cascades that I’m used to.  It hadn’t snowed in a [...]

OLYMPIC LEAD……

MRambler jumps for joy after winning Olympic Lead in the “Why the Hell am I still in Oklahoma” competition….. MR attributes his record breaking victory to premeditated procrastination and sheer dumb stupidity….. “The competition was really tough” stated MR and he would like to thank his sponsors – “JekTarn Hiking Supply” of [...]

Sour Grapes

I’m not usually a “sour grapes” type person. Did anyone watch the OU-Texas Tech game?
I felt screwed, blewed & tattooed. And I know……….It’s just a game

World Series

I know most of the people on here aren’t big sports fans. But since this blog does contain a “sports” category, I thought I’d post anyways. I have loved baseball for most of my life. I for one, thought this was the best 4 game world series I’ve seen. Every game went down to [...]

Red River Bedlam

I know this blog has people from other than Oklahoma or Texas. Anyway after another dissapointing outing from the Sooners, all I can say is ain’t payback a bitch.
