As a lifelong diehard OU fan, I miss the days of Steve Owens and Greg Pruitt and Joe Washington and Billy Sims and Adrian Peterson and ... those days are long gone. Heaven help us.
Today should have been the day you saw the growth from the OU offense.
But I watched an offense that looked very similar to last season. Too many missed throws, not good up front, questionable game calling and game plan.
Very disappointing.
There needs to be a QB controversy at the University of Oklahoma. Mateer can't handle the sec spotlight. Defense is playing great. WRs are getting free, we finally have a running game. Mateer is the problem.
"Why do people play golf?" Sean Connery was once asked, and he gave a brilliant answer.
"If you play golf, you can’t think, honestly, or do anything else while you’re playing.
"I think it’s the most revealing game. I don’t know if it’s a game. It’s something other than a game. I couldn’t define it.
"But it’s obsessive and revealing and a very healthy balancing act, I think. It certainly is for me, and also it’s one of the few games in the world that’s really still got dignity as a game.
"It’s endless, and as Jack Nicklaus says, it’s an unfair game and you have to accept it. It’s like life in that way.
"It’s also a game that you can cheat it. It’s the easiest game in the world to cheat at. The only one that suffers is you, because you know. And you can’t unknow."
This place feels nothing less than magical. I've sat in this exact spot, and many other around the San Luis Valley. I haven't see the sunflowers... But now. It's on the list. I do love this valley.
Prairie sunflowers are putting on a show at Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve. 🌻
Golden blooms stretch across the landscape, with the dunes rising in the distance.
Four clear warnings from Scripture:
• Life on earth is brief (James 4:14)
• Death is certain for all (Heb. 9:27)
• God will judge every deed (Eccl. 12:14)
• Only Jesus can save your soul (Acts 4:12)
At 91 years old, Dale “Grey Beard” Sanders completed the 2,193-mile Appalachian Trail, reclaiming the record as the oldest person ever to do it.
He endured 71 falls, including 6 hard falls, one of which sent him to the hospital.
He had already held the record once at 82, lost it, then came back nearly a decade later to take it back.
Absolute legend
I'm still on cloud 9 from last night. I usually straw from photos and videos because I want to live in the moment... But man am I glad. I captured last night!
