Let's start our preview of Saturday night's ritual beatdown of the Kansas State Mildcats with the one thing that the old coach is worried about:
I'm worried that 90-pound Bill Snyder will keel over at any time.
Everybody sing: "Weeeeeeeevvvvee only just begunnnnnnnnnnn." The nicest thing Bob Stoops can do for his old mentor this weekend is take him to Louie's and load his shriveled-up ass with some carbs.
Beyond that, there's just not a lot to worry about from Snyder's team, which bears a closer resemblance to his 1989 club than any of the teams he coached in the 2000s, after he gave up recruiting.
The Pussycats can't pass. Grant Gregory is Thomas Lott redux. They're overmatched up front against the best defensive line in college football, so running won't be a concern.
And lest anyone think that the OU offense will struggle against the Kitty defense, anyone remember what Leach's Pirates and their little fat girlfriends did to them? Beatdown city.
This is a game, fellas, for the Sooners to work on getting better: For Landry Jones to work on progressions and seeing the field; for the offensive line to actually try to get a hat on someone on the other side of the ball; for Chris Brown and Jon Miller to run inside, run outside and catch the football outside; for Ryan Broyles to catch 10 for a buck-fiddy; for Demarco Murray's second week of his annual late-season siesta; for Tress Way to try a field goal or two.
It's a night to get better, and a night to send another payback deposit to the most annoying, ignorant fan base in the Big 12.
Enjoy Norman.
