Sooners Raided the Red Raiders!

What is up? Holy moley...how about those Oklahoma Sooners? They DOMINATED Texas Tech on both sides of the ball last night. Besides some really stupid penalties (and some really bad calls by the officials) and the weekly adventure that we call Special Teams, that was the best overall performance that I have seen OU put up since the National Championship game in the 2000 Orange Bowl win over Florida State.


Sam Bradford is a stud. DeMarco Murray is a stud. Austin Box is a stud. Bob Stoops and Brent Venables are insane geniuses. A lot of fun was poked at Bob Stoops this week when during a press conference, he asked the crowd to get into the game. The OU crowd at Memorial Stadium can get somewhat loud when a touchdown is scored, but they are not known for getting anywhere near raucous when the defense is on the field. In fact our buddy Chris Plank over on the Buzz called the crowd "Merlot sippers" at times, which I tend to agree with. Well, there is no egg on Stoops face this morning. The 82,121 people packed into Memorial Stadium made some serious noise from the opening kickoff until the final whistle blew. I was very proud of the fans stepping up and doing what a college home crowd should do. I really detest the term "12th man" and always think of the "Jack booted thugs" down at College Station.


Now the big test is next weekend in Stillwater. OSU always shows up to play in the Bedlam series. We will see this afternoon how the joke of the BCS rates us. I am not holding my breath.


Good night now...Jester Out!!!

The Righteous Wind of Change At Our Back

Well, it is finally over and I really don't feel any different...do you? Weren't we promised money would fall from the sky if we make less than $250k per year? Weren't we promised health care for everyone? I was promised "Change". Oh well, when I was a kid, we were promised jet packs and flying cars for everyone as well...I am still waiting on mine!


Right or wrong, it was made very clear last night that a majority of our nation (at least the ones that turned out to vote) were fed up with the business as usual, finger pointing, linked to W republicans. If you are a regular visitor to the Jester's little spot on the web, you probably know that I am fairly disgusted with most politicians on both sides of the aisle.


How on earth could John Murtha have been re-elected last night?? This guy has been in Congress since 1974. Let's put that in perspective. I was 6 years old in 1974. The Space Shuttle had not had its first flight. Skylab had not fallen out of space yet. Stephen King writes Carrie. Disco is popular...you get the picture, right? Not only has he been there for a long time, he is an idiot. I don't use the word idiot lightly or without regard. He called his own constituency redneck racists because Obama wasn't polling well in Murtha's own western Pennsylvania. That is how out of touch this clown is with his own electorate. Yet his electorate brings him in for another term. Now I question, is he the idiot or are the voters really this uninformed???


As of this morning it is still undecided in Minnesota between an even bigger idiot (which I am surprised that is even possible) than Murtha, Al Franken and Norm Coleman. I will be upfront on this one, I know absolutely nothing about Norm Coleman. I do know a few things about Al Franken. He is one of those guys who thinks he is funny, but he really isn't...kinda like Chris Medlock, who does afternoons on KFAQ in Tulsa...more about Medlock later. Did anyone like Fraken on SNL? I think not. Anyway, as of late Franken has been trying to keep Air America afloat, but that dog is sinking faster than chili goes through a two year old. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying Franken throws puppies out of moving cars, I just don't like him for reasons too many to list here.


Now to Medlock. Most folks know that I enjoy a train wreck, maybe even more than the other guy does. So maybe that explains why I listen to Medlock. When I get stuck taking a late lunch, I normally listen to Plank and Pop over on the Buzz. Although, if I am not particularly interested in their guest at the time, or if they are on a break I will listen to KFAQ for a few. Medlock used to do mornings there, until a very unfortunate microphone slapping accident nearly caused scrap in the studio one morning between he and his female on air partner. It's a shame they didn't fight, she would have hurt him. Anyway, when I tune in for the odd few minutes, I figure I am one of eight people in the Tulsa metro (outside Medlock's family) listening to the show. It is very entertaining to listen to the show, because dude thinks he is funny. Frankenlock, hate to burst your bubble, but you aren't funny. In other bursting bubble news, if they haven't done it yet, the kids at TU will be rolling out the Chris Medlock drinking game. Every time you use the phrase "when I was on the city counsel", "recall", "mama bear", "papa bear" or "baby bear" the players must take a drink. The downside is everyone will be drunk after 2 segments! It would also triple your listening audience if the Sigma Chi House at TU tuned in to play. Come on Frankenlock, loosen up and broaden your horizons a bit...talk about other things. If you don't try so hard to be funny, you could be funny. Well, maybe not.


Well time to make the donuts. Before I bail let me just say...Thompson/Palin 2012. Jester Out!

What Happened???

What's up? BOOMER SOONER. Wow, OU rolled the Cornshuckers last night 62-28 and how about them Red Raiders of Texas Tech? They beat the Longhorns. Just remember...Bevo, it's whats for dinner!


Not much time for a take, but I am gonna throw one out there. My lovely wife rented "The Happening" with Marky Mark formerly of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch (don't act like you don't remember). This is quite possibly the worst movie I have ever seen in my life. Folks, this represents two hours of my life I cannot get back, and I am rather upset at this.


As we watched, my emotions ranged from amazement that a studio actually paid someone to write, produce, direct, gaff, best boy, cater, ect this hideous excuse of a film to shock that I was actually still watching this thing. I have never seen a train wreck in real life (although I vaguely recall dating one or two), I am quite sure I would have continued watching it too.


The movie may have actually done one thing that is more odd than anything else that I could possibly think of. I do believe it may have given people with suicidal tendencies (wasn't that a punk band from the early 80's?) many new ways to kill themselves. I honestly would have never thought of starting up a huge golf course style commercial lawn mower (even if you did just find one laying around) and then laying down in front of its path. Gotta say, the movie really sucked.


M. Night, bro, bubby the next time Al Gore calls with a plot for a movie, just don't take the call. Stick with aliens. Signs RULED, it was awesome, it was Double Live Gonzo, Intensity in Ten Cities, it whaled! This one...was just awful.


The only thing that made it somewhat tolerable was the fact that they cast Frank Collison in it. You know old Frank, don't cha? He played Wash Hogwallup in O Brother Where Art Thou. He was the one that so elloquently said that his wife had "runnoft". If you live outside rural Arklahoma/Lousmippi, you might not get that one.


Anyway, I want a refund and my two hours back, but I won't get either. Time to make like a banana and split. War OU moving on up (ala the Jefferson's to the East Side) in the BCS polls, war the Red Raiders smacking down the Longhorns (Hey Otis in Austin, where ya at now sucka???) and war more Billy Mays infomercials and less Barack Obama infomercials!


Jester Out!!!
