Here’s a weekly spin on College Football from your buddy, your pal Spinozi…
2024, The Season of Change is upon us!
OU moves to the SEC with a brand new Offensive Coordinator, a new Defensive Coordinator, a new starting QB and a brand new Offensive line. AND…they have to play 6, count ‘em SIX Top 25 Conference games.
WHAT THE WHAT??
You wouldn’t wish this on your worst enemy, right? Okay, OSU fans, I know you would. Behave yourselves. I’ll be with you in a minute.
THINGS I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE IN OU-TEMPLE
- Young Jackson Arnold – Give me composure, take care of the football & take shots when they’re available. Otherwise, hand the ball off about 50 times so we can see….
- The Brand New O. Line – Let’s see the big’uns eat and grow as a group…And after all that running….wait for it…
- PLAY ACTION – TIGHT END OVER THE MIDDLE!!! Welcome to the party Bauer Sharp!! According to Cale Gundy, he was one of the 2 most impressive Offensive players in camp, SO THROW HIM THE BALL…OVER THE MIDDLE…A LOT!
- The other impressive guy, according to Cale, is the dude who WOWED us in the Spring, WR Deion Burks. I can’t wait to see him terrorize secondaries!!
- I also can’t wait to lay my eyes on this year’s version of Brent Venables defense. I see good things. I see VERY good things!!!
PLAY WELL + PLAY CLEAN + STAY HEALTHY = SUCCESS
COACH GUNDY’S GANG IN STILLWATER
Coming off a Big 12 Title Game appearance, there were only 3 things Mike Gundy needed to concern himself with this offseason:
- Finding a Brinks truck full of money to pay Ollie Gordon. Check.
- Fix the Defense – Nardo needs to cook. We’ll see here.
- FIGHT COMPLACENCY! — When you bring back as many players as the Cowboys do this Fall, it’s easy to see why they could have quite a bit of confidence and feel pretty good about themselves & last season.
BUT, ya know what fixes that? How ‘bout a team that hasn’t lost since September of 2022! The South Dakota State Jackrabbits are not showing up for a paycheck or cheese fries!! They are back-to-back FCS National Champions, winners of TWENTY NINE STRAIGHT and they have the best FCS player in the country in QB, Mark Gronowski, who threw twice as many TD’s as Alan Bowman last season.
IF YOU’RE STILL COMPLACENT AFTER THAT…I GOT NOTHIN’ FOR YA. GOOD LUCK!
I think the Sooners & Cowboys will both be impressive and a Happy Labor Day weekend will be had by all. Enjoy your time ya hardworking Animals! Have fun. Be safe. See you on the radio bright and early.
