Three Thoughts

• 6:30pm on ABC or at 1185 Asp Ave, Norman, Oklahoma – in five years, we won’t get these. Enjoy, Cowpokes.

• This is just great sportswriting – looking at the Bedlam rivalry from both sides of the fence

• This from Kyle Boone on what Bedlam means to him was just terrific – and it’s highly likely to be a shared experience for you and me both:

Bedlam — and sports in general — is a gateway drug to friendship, to family and to love. It’s how I stumbled butt backwards into a profession and created lifelong friendships along the way. It’s how my dad and I connect, often through pain, sometimes through elation but always shared together. It’s what our family celebrates — but mostly commiserates about — each Thanksgiving. A tradition unlike any other not even the Masters can top.

Two Quotes

• I don’t disagree with this take on the outcomes of Bedlam:

4 Bedlam outcomes – most likely to least (imo):

OU wins big (this happens if Spencer isn’t right) 37%

OSU wins close (if Sanders is good, most likely outcome) 33%

OSU wins big (could see OU having a ‘no mas’ moment) 18%

OU wins close (these guys find ways to lose) 12%

• Key to success for the Cowboys – seeing the injured Spencer Sanders run wild:

Aching shoulder and all, Sanders must get as close to 100 rushing yards as he can. He must duplicate the run/pass exploits of West Virginia quarterback Garrett Greene in the Mountaineers’ win over OU last week. He must be the Cowboys’ primary run-game threat in this game, same as he was last year’s game when OU contained Jaylen Warren.

• Enjoyed this non-fiction read looking at a real estate entrepreneur

My best friend is private-jet-rich.

His dad is an incredible mentor.

Yesterday, he taught me this:

You can beat 75% of people by working hard.

You can beat 15% of people by being honest.

And the last 10% is just a dog fight.
