Barking Carnival

Well, we have one weekend left, and all of the B12 south teams are playing each other.  Each game has national and conference title implications.  Let’s take a look at the matchups with an eye to conference game statistics, and see if we get any insight.  Note- I’m using the stats from the conference games […]

Grateful for the win.
And for the McCoy/Shipley/Cosby One Brain.
Make no mistake, we brought our A game. The notion that we did not implies that we’d look different if we played them again or that effort was lacking. We wouldn’t. It wasn’t. They’d expose us in the same exact ways; […]

Article in the Tulsa World today about Oklahoma State’s struggles against Texas, particularly in Austin.
Oklahoma State has lost their last 10 games in Austin. They haven’t won in Austin since 1944.
Texas has outscored OSU in the second half of the last five games 158-14.
“It has been pretty amazing,” Mike Gundy said. “I don’t think anybody […]

Gundy, get in here.
Mr Pickens?
Take a knee and put this cardboard beer helmet on your head. You know the drill.
Will do.
Gundy, you look like an Amarillo golf pro that humped an oil slick.
Yes sir.
Gundy, your visor has more hair product […]

Now that Tommy Bowden has been fired mutually agreed to step down at Clemson, we can look at potential candidates. Muschamp’s name will surface for every job, but I don’t think this is the one. While traveling the internet, I found these guys as potentials (in my order of likelihood):
Lane Kiffin - the […]

The Golf Prick rankings for this week haven’t been as high since Steve Spurrier was wrecking shit in the golf course mecca of Florida. Be sure to check the weekly blogpoll.
1.  Bob Stoops - takes the top spot with a #2 team ranking
2.  Gary Pinkel - making a strong appearance at #3
3.  Urban Meyer […]

In a move that surprises no one except for Jesse Palmer, the Original Golf Prick and Head Ball Coach Steve Spurrier (OGP or HBC) has yanked starting QB Tommy Beecher and said that Chris Smelley will start at quarterback for South Carolina against Vanderbilt on Thursday night.
Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier said he made the decision […]

OK, not really. ESPN re-ran their piece last night on The Rant and its effect on Reid from April. But somehow, I missed it the first time around.
REID: “It was a lie.”
INTERVIEWER: “How does it make you feel when they say, ‘It was a lie. It wasn’t geniune.’”
GOLFPRICK: “It […]

The Kansas City Star, a once venerable newspaper that like all others has had trouble adapting to the internet age, ran a great piece today about Kansas and Missouri’s trek to the Preseason Top 15.

Mark Mangino, Oklahoma assistant and Kansas coaching candidate, had to be convinced when he met the Jayhawks job interview contingent led […]

This is the team’s slogan for next year. Now I’ve ruefully accepted the fact that they’ll never use ‘Bitches need to be kicked,’ but this is certainly easier for the players to identify with than ‘Take dead aim’ or ‘Earn the right.’
And that’s the key. The players have to embrace it. In the past […]

In 2008, Bob Stoops will attempt to win his fourteenth Big 12 Title in ten years and that’s reassuring to a fan base resigned to the notion that their life’s achievements will always best be realized vicariously. Sooner Nation citizenship is more precious than a man’s best acid-washed girbauds, lax child support laws, and […]

Overview
After Les Miles’ departure, Oklahoma State’s strategy seems to have been hiring a young, hip alum that combs his hair with a cup of hot fat and a firecracker. Then, spend a couple of hundred million to enter the facilities arms race in efforts to recruit better talent and have T. Boone foot the bill.  […]
