Thirsty Beagle Sports Shorts: Nov. 27
A few quick sports notes to take you into the weekend:
-Am I the only person who’s mildly terrified of playing against Texas A&M’s Jerrod Johnson next season?
-Were there always like five college football games on the Friday after Thanksgiving? I don’t remember there ever being more than like one or two. Either way, I’m loving the kind-of-like-bowl-season feeling of the day.
-The Thunder is encouraging fans to wear blue to tonight’s game against Milwaukee. Maybe it’s just me, but a “Blue Out” doesn’t seem all that intimidating. In fact, after further thought, it seems like a terrible idea.
-Honestly, I’m not sure what to make of tomorrow’s Bedlam game. OU hasn’t beaten anybody at home this year, but OSU hasn’t really beaten anyone on the road. The Cowboys won at A&M and Iowa State, which are both bowl teams, albeit both are only 6-6. Teams have been running at will against OU, and OSU’s strength is the run. At the same time, teams have been passing at will against OSU, and OU has had success in the passing game this year. Overall, this game is pretty much a toss-up. If it was in Stillwater, I’d call it an OSU win. I’m still tempted to call it an OSU win either way, but I’m not letting my guard down in case OSU blows a five-touchdown, fourth quarter lead en route to a devastating and demoralizing loss.
-Toronto Raptors record entering play tonight: 7-9. My guilt level for canceling NBA League Pass after three years: 2 out of 10 (down from 3 out of 10 last week due to Toronto’s humiliating loss to Charlotte on Wednesday).
-Tough time to be an OU sports fan: First the football team descended into mediocrity, now the basketball team, too?
-Speaking of mediocrity, Big 12 football fans — except those who are fans of Colorado — rejoice! Dan Hawkins returns for another year!
Have a great weekend!
