OOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU....SUCKS!

As many of you know, I adore the greatness that is the pantheon of prestige, credibility, and pristine character in college sports. The University of Oklahoma. Sure, I chide them as land theives, but really I respect their above board history of success.
Sooners are better than sugar, they are carcinigen laced sweet and low, and their is no equal. To their armies of dentally challenged fans, there is no doubt that Crimson kool aid will get you to the mothership made of spare tire and aluminum. The proverbial trailer park next to heaven is a suburb of Norman.
One more thing, Sooner fans have all graduated at the same rate as their athletes, so there are no t-shirt fan insults to hurl this week.
That being stated, I can now appropriately examine with unbiased malice, the Sooner payback game. Payback? Its not just an omission on an Oklahoma car lease contract. Last years game is no longer under review. Neither are Rhett Bomar, J.D. Quinn, or Adrian Peterson. Unfotunately, they won't be there. Perhaps they should watch 'My name is Earl' to figure out why? NCAA sanctions to come may dictate a 'karma' list to check off soon for the OU athletic department. I'm skeptical that this comes to pass.
One thing I will give them. No matter the off field cheating, they have a good and solid football team. Coach Bob Stoops knows how to recruit and train a defense to stop the run and pressure a quarterback. His offense grinds yards on the ground and almost always controls the clock. Their only problem is fumbling, but more often than not the OU defense holds. Paul Thompson runs the offensive game plan adequately. The Tech defense must stop the run and force him to throw. The Tech offense needs to grab a lead and get OU off its game plan to run. Tech can do this especially if the overzealous land thieves fumble.
The game will hinge on the consistency and play of the Air Raid offense. OU doesn't enjoy the speed it once had and instead relies on technique...part 2 is above this post.
