I've joined the vast majority on a college-football forecast. The Sooners' chance of beating Texas is about the same as a moth surviving a journey to the Sun.
Still, I'm excited about the Cowboys-Rams game on Sunday. My heart wants and expects a Cowboys victory. But my disinterested mind offers, "Not so fast. Sure, the Cowboys victory over the Bengals was somewhat impressive. But the Cowboys beating the Giants and the Commanders was expected, even with the diminished Russell Wilson quarterbacking for the Cowboys. I suppose Pete Carrol knew what he was doing by trading away the former quarterback dazzle. The Russel Wilson Broncos playing the Colts on Thursday night featured "stagnant" from start to finish. I turned the actionless game on and off about as often as a turntable needle skipping on a scratched record spinning around at 78 r.p.m. However, I did catch entertainment from Al Michaels in a broadcasting booth. In the third quarter, Michaels remarked, "This is the type of game you'd have as the fifth regional on CBS on Sunday." Later in the half, Michaels' play by play announced, "It's first and goal, words I thought I would never speak tonight," in a thrill-less game of no touchdowns and seven dull field goals - but one dull field goal produced high drama, winning the masterful field-goal game in overtime. (I embellished. But who won? I don't know and I don't care. O.K., "stagnant" won. That still doesn't identify which team.)
A woman won the lottery and then died instantly of a heart attack. Her life ended thrilled up. No more downs for her. The Sooners were aroused up by their sensational victory over Nebraska but then slumped to two discouraging losses in a row with more down losses likely ahead. Dead after the Nebraska win would have probably served the Sooners better.
