Doesn't relate to our game with them (I assume we aren't going to be a 12 point dog), but this stat on college game day would be very alarming to me if I was a fan of the Sooner program: they have lost 7 games since 2011 in which they were at least a 12 point favorite.

Conversation with my boss today.

Him: "So we're a bit behind, probably going to have to put in a good deal of OT to get caught up"
Me: "No biggie, expected as much. I've been showing up early anyway"
Him "I think we'll be here the next few Saturdays straight, coming early and staying late"
Me: "That's fine, the game against OU isn't until week 3"
Him "Might have to listen to the first half of that on the radio"
Me: "....which is exactly what you would say if you wanted me to submit my resignation right now".

I could go on and on making excuses about this game being in Houston in front of a lot of Cougar fans in a game where their primary objective is proving to the Big XII that they belong in our conference than beating OU. But I'll just say that once again our offensive line was our Achilles heal as they were against Clemson and ut last year. But I think the OU coaches can make adjustments along that O-line like they did after the loss to the whorns last year.

Other than that, I'm still impressed with Baker's resilience and I actually thought OU would lose 40-17 instead of 33-23. We'll see if the Buckeyes can pull off a Houston-like performance against us, but keep in mind OU's home record under Bob Stoops. That's where I think OU has a great chance against the Buckeyes. It still should be a great game either way, but I will admit that Urban Meyer is a better coach than Bob Stoops. Then again, so is Nick Saban at Alabama. Get ready for very interesting game, Buckeye fans.

Perine good? If he's out against Ohio State, it's curtains for you guys. I don't know how severe the injury is, though.

Has Russell Westbrook given the OK for UCLA to join the Big 12 yet?
