Las Vegas - Gonna take a look at the Oklahoma State/Colorado game, but first, can I just say that my Thanksgiving feast was intoxicating! Turkey/cranberry sauce/stuffing/mashed potatoes/sweet potato pie/cream corn/apple pie/cherry pie/pumpkin pie/tiramisu with glass of Bailey's Irish Cream chaser. Why use the word intoxicating? After the loss to Kansas, Coach Prime said, "We started smelling ourselves a little bit. We got intoxicated with the success. We got intoxicated with the multitude of articles, and the assumption that were this, and the assumption that were that, and we did not play CU football."

The Cowboys have let in 56 points, 38, 42 and 38 in the last four games. But they're also gonna put some points on the board. Starting QB Alan Bowman had an issue with the re-occurrence of a partially collapsed lung. Ouch. So Oklahoma State put freshman QB Maealiuaki Smith under center at the end of the game against TCU and he hit on 6 of 8 for 92 yards. Smith got his first start against Texas Tech last week, and was very impressive. He connected on 26 of 35 (74.3%) for 316 yards with 2 TDs and 1 INT. Colorado will give up some points and Maealiuaki, pronounced 'MY--LE--WALK-ee,' should be good for a few TDs.

Then we have to say a few words about the the guy across the field on the other headset, Mike Gundy, who could be coaching his last game after 20 years as the head of Xs & Os in Stillwater. Gundy has been on quite a ride and until this season, has never had a losing record. But 2024 has been a disaster. Ok State has lost eight in a row and Gundy is under fire from all sides. But the MULLET, the guy who had the famous "Come after me! I'm a man! I'm forty!" rant when one of his players caught some heat from a local newspaper. So, if this actually is Gundy's farewell, ya gotta think that his kids are gonna be JACKED and fight to give the MULLET a going away W!
