Fresh off eating Fast Eddie’s with Sleezy’s parents, overcoming a Budweiser coma each morning from Saturday thru Tuesday, and seven hours in my car driving back to Omaha, my vacation has ended. How was it must you ask?

It was ‘Sitting in Section T to see the Huskers get demolished’ good (Props to RockMnation for the pic). So it’s back at it and hopefully the Tigers haven’t relished in this win as long as I have. It’s Oklahoma time and one of our dedicated readers/commenters, Mizzou Robot, has requested a pro-Mizzou preview of the game. This is what we have for Saturday fools!

-‘GameDay’ hits Norman for this one. It’s the only good game all weekend, and it’s weird that ESPN is desperate enough to pimp a game that’s on Fox Sports. Off the top of my mind, I never remember Missouri being in a featured ‘GameDay’ locale since ’94 when ESPN hit the road. That means Norman is going to be JACKED! Since ‘Gameday’ comes around to Norman probably once every few years, it’ll be time for Sooner fans to use that emergency meth rock that Lana has been hiding in the cellar next to the pickled eggs. Expect the average tooth count to be in the single digits.

-Oklahoma, in my opinion, is a top five team. You could make an argument to have them as high as three. I’m still not drinking Kool-aid on Cal, Oregon, or South Florida. I’d go LSU, USC, Oklahoma. And yes, I know USC and Oklahoma already have losses.

-Oklahoma is starting a freshman QB that’s been lighting peeps up. Sam Bradford is probably the second best QB in the conference…behind Chase Daniel. This will be Bradford’s biggest game along with last week’s Red River Shootout with Texas. He struggled a little last week against the Longhorn D but has the best receiver in the Big XII with Reggie Kelly.

-OU has a great tandem of running backs with Demarco Murray and Allen Patrick. Murray will be a star and will win a Heisman. You can archive that. It’s the Big Headlock. If he doesn’t happen to win a Heisman, I will buy a roll of Grizzly chewing tobacco and lay it on a street in Norman. It could be like mice on cheese.

-Mizzou poses a great offense that Oklahoma hasn’t seen. OU’s only tests have been with Texas, Colorado, and Miami. Oklahoma beat the hell out of Miami. I hadn’t seen an ass whipping like that since my dad beat the shit out of my brother for pissing in the washing machine when we were kids.

With all that being said, Mizzou still has the best pair of tight ends in all the land with T Rucker and Chase Coffman, and the best QB in the conference. We have a better set of wideouts from top to bottom, and we now have DaNario Alexander back, which is just another option for Chase.

Our defense looked damn good against the Huskers. Six points! The Huskers had a more experienced QB and a good wide receiver (Purify) that we shut down. Marlon Lucky is a pile of shit compared to Patrick/Murray, but we held him as well. I know OU would have pumped the Huskers like a JV powder-puff team too, but it looks like we’re finally putting the pieces together defensively.

This game will be a blowout going to OU or a tight one going either way. Thinking positive, I’ll go with 34-31 Mizzou with a Jeff Wolfert field goal with less than a minute left. Chase will have another good game and this will officially kick off his Heisman campaign. It will setup a wide open Big XII South race and give Mizzou a huge win.
