Kids can be competitive EVEN when putting up Papa and Mimi B in T Xmas Snow Village Houses!
Last week the two oldest grandkids came over to assist Mimi and Papa to decorate their 36-year decoration tradition of the Snow Village!! Gus and Ana are brother and sister and very highly competitive!! (Andre TU golfer and Maddie is just like her dad - laid back and non-competitive 😃😁) While lovingly putting together the snow set the kids occasionally have some controversy!! The grandkids can disagree about having a barn in the middle of downtown, or possibly a tantrum over who will put the Village cars on the correct Village roads! After a few hours of hard work, the Village lights come on and all is warm and Christmassy!! I love the family Christmas tradition with the Rugrats!!
B in T notes:

College Coaching Rumor Carousel:
Nebraska: Scott Frost is sticking around for 2022, but you can say signora to his offensive staff which has been truly offensive this year!!
Texas Tech: Joey McGuire will be the next head coach at Texas Tech, my sources were told by his agent, Jerry Maguire!!
Florida: Dan Mullen will be making numerous staff changes! Dan must release the guillotine on his own staff before his head rolls!! The basis of corporate America!!
TCU - possible candidates include Sonny Dykes just a hop skip and a jump away at SMU, Dione Sanders, and Matt Campbell who's name was discussed after the Board of Regents took a giant bong hit at happy hour in Fort Worth!!
Oklahoma - one week ago coach Lincoln Riley was missing from his noon media podcast and from his night call-in show at Rudy's!! Sooner Play by play legend Toby Rowland was so upset he almost cussed!! Lincoln simply had an ingrown toenail removed!!
LSU - Ed Orgeron AKA dead coach walking is accepting the Nathan Hale job at the end of the season!!
- Lane Kiffin - Ole Miss - he can go to LSU and assume coach Ed’s Weight Watcher contract!!
- Jimbo Fisher - Texas A&M - his 30 million dollar buyout is pocket change for LSU!!
- James Franklin - Penn State - he has been rumored for every vacant position including the Las Vegas Raiders!!
USC - Luke Fickell - Cincinnati. $$ If wife Amy and the 6 kiddos love SoCal, bye-bye Bearcats!$$
**********************************
Great research by Kelly Hines top Sportswriter at Tulsa World:
To put in perspective the job Joseph Gillespie (and the late Bill Young) has done in turning around the Tulsa Defense:
In 2017, TU allowed 56 offensive TD (4.7/game). Gave up 7+ in a game 3 times.
In the last 22 games, TU’s D has allowed more than 4 TD in a game only once.
MICROPHONE DROP NOW!!

Things Heard at a Famous Sports Family Thanksgiving 🍗 Table?
Stoops Family - ‘which one of us will get the USC job?’
Gundy Family - ‘ok Gundy men, before we start watching some football, let's discuss men's hair product’
B in T Family - ‘Will someone please pull Papa B in T’s finger so he will quit asking me!!’
Tom Brady Family - ‘Where are the mirrors?’
Kardashian's Family (not a sports family but they date numerous athletes so close enough) - “There’s a lot of baggage that comes with us, but it’s like Louis Vuitton baggage; you always want it, and pass me a turkey 🍗 leg bitches!!’
Manning Family - “Arch (top 2022 high school QB in the nation and grandson of Hall of Famer Archie Manning) which one of your uncles or dad or grandpa influenced you the most in you life, he responded none of them, my mom did by far!!!!” Mom’s pie 🥧tasted really good this Thanksgiving 🦃 🦃🦃🦃!!

$540 Million Lost Coaching Salaries!!
In the 2021 College Football Season coaches are paid half a billion dollars NOT to coach at one school while making another half-billion to get paid for an actual real-life job!!
Small sample size:
Gus Malazan - 10 million - Auburn
Les Miles - 8 million to 4 different teams
Bret Bielema - 3 million Arkansas
SICK WASTE OF STATE MONEY!!!
**********************************
Way too EARLY B in T area college basketball projections:
Oklahoma Sooners - New coach Porter Moser - He is 52 years old and looks and acts 32!! Just signed two 2022 ESPN top 100 players, for the first time ever!!
NCAA tournament - first round
Oklahoma State Cowboys - Coach Boynton is possibly the coolest, and classiest coach of the 350 collegiate coaches!! Stud transfer Bryce Thompson will add depth and could be a deadly 6th man!! Cowboys got jacked up by the NCAA Gestapo, so no postseason play this year!! 21-10 record and 4th place in the Big 12!
Tulsa Golden Hurricane- Coach Haith feels strongly that this may be his most talented and deep team in years!!
NCAA Tourney - second round
ORU - love this team, their arena is blocks from my home, the Abmas kid is a junior Steve Curry, and their coach never yells!! Should win the conference tourney again with too much quick for the rest of the league!!
NCAA tourney - second round
Arkansas - super team, super coach and will make the Elite Eight!
Kansas - super team, super coach and will win the Big 12 Tournament............
Thirty minutes later the NCAA Gestapo bans the team from the NCAA tournament for 2 years!!
**********************************
B in T Perfect College Picks:
Cincinnati 38 SMU 31
The Bearcats are shooting for the Final Four of College Football!! The giant TU offensive linemen trouncing immediately had the Bearcat defensive linemen on 8 protein shakes a day!!
Oklahoma 35 Iowa State 34
Iowa State QB Purdy starts throwing interceptions when his team gets a lead!! When Oklahoma's defense gets an interception the entire team puts on a vaudeville act like they won a lottery!! So, follow me, if Oklahoma gets an interception in the second half the world will stops but OU wins!! If the Sooners do not intercept a pass from Purdy in the game the above score is reversed!! Nice out for the Clones, Kevin? Right?
Alabama 45 Arkansas 30
Arkansas QB KJ Jefferson is my frontrunner for the 2022 Heisman Trophy!! The Crimson Tide did not agree with my prognostication!! I am also picking Myles Slusher for third in the preseason Heisman poll!! No bias, I swear!! Go Hogs!!
Ohio State 28 Michigan State 24
A couple of B in T’s dedicated readers are huge Buckeye fans who are thankful to us TU football folks for letting us be their football non-conference appetizer before the Big 10 schedule!! Ohio State QB Young can wing that football, once he tossed a rugby ball 70 yards while holding a baby in the other arm!! True story - check out My Space!!
Oklahoma State 31 at Texas Tech 17
The Oklahoma State defense has been compared to the Pitsburg Steelers Iron Curtain!! The blue caller dudes eat nails, drive fast cars, use bubblegum chewing tobacco and eat raw meat 3 times daily! Tech hired Baylor’s associate head coach Joey Maguire, no relation to Toby, Jerry or Mark Maguire!
Tulsa 34 Temple 21
This week is the final TU home game and even worse the final TU Tailgators tailgate party! So sad!! After trying for a few days the brass at the university would not allow mud wrestling competitions with the sorority ladies at our tailgate party!! The food theme for the last TU Tailgator was beans so this time we are stepping up a notch with fried jalapeno poppers flown in from Warez, Mexico! Tulsa was a double-digit favorite but played down to it's competition to a three-point victory!! Tulsa QB Brin Davis threw for 3 touchdowns and 3 interceptions but made two game-saving tackles on interception returns!! Davis leads the FBS in interception return tackles this year!!
Iowa 37 Illinois 20
The Iowa football team has tossed the Illini around like a mama bear tosses around a cub!! Coach Bielema’s hard-nosed approach still needs some hard-nosed players which Bielema CAN recruit!! The Iowa coach knows that he can shoot a rifle in the air anywhere in Iowa, and find a farmers son that's 6’5” and 285 lbs and eats bales of hay!!
Boston College 23 Florida State 21
BC is one win away from bowl eligibility and Florida State is one loss away from being ineligible from doing any bowling, except in a bowling league!! First-year Florida State coach Norvell gets migraines weekly with the Seminole muckety muck regents calling his cell phone to bitch after losses! On the other hand, Boston College coach Hafley will be drinking Mai tai drinks at a sunny bowl destination!!
**********************************
Second Round High School Playoffs:
6AI
Union 38 Broken Arrow 32
Newly redone Tuttle Stadium and newly renamed Union RedHawks caged the cagey Tigers with a 4th quarter rally!!
Jenks 36 Mustang 20
The Trojans offense has gradually improved throughout 2021!! Mustang was in the game for the first 15 minutes but after that the Trojans were too much!!
6AII
Sand Springs 28 at Deer Creek 27
The Antlers missed a game-tying extra point with .332 of a second left on the Deer Creek clock!! Tuff loss!!
Bixby 52 Stillwater 28
All 131 Bixby players immediately went to the Spartan weight room for one hour after the game!! This was team self-imposed punishment for not scoring more than 70 points against Stillwater!! Tough standards in the sod farm capital of the World team!!
5A
Carl Albert 42 Coweta 31
The only team with as many athletes as Booker T is Carl Albert!! The Coweta Tigers are strong but not Carl Albert strong!
Pryor 28 Lawton Mac 22
Pryor has had a sneaky good season and surprises Macarthur!!
4A
Tuttle 31 Wagoner 27
Tuttle is very strong in the big boy lineman trenches and the game-winning drive proved it!!
3A
Hermitage Hall 45 Berryhill 31
Hermitage Hall stays undefeated and pushes for the finals!!
Lincoln Christian 55 Sulphur 7
Lincoln Christian is the unknown masked singer of 3A!! Always winning!!
Holland Hall 48 Perkins-Tryon 13
THE Hall is dominant and sends Sulphur back home to fish and hunt!!
2A
Victory Christian 36 Cascia Hall 28
Good timing as Victory gets hot at the end of the season!!
A
Tonkawa 41 Fairview 28
Tonkawa closed the downtown down to celebrate the win and to celebrate the giant Christmas tree brought back from the Payne County forest to the Who Village of my beloved Tonkawa!!
**********************************
NFL Picks:
Browns 35 Lions 24
The Browns discarded Odel Beckham and his attitude baggage. Running back Chubb goes for 129 yards on 20 carries and 2 touchdown!!
Chiefs 28 Cowboys 24
Mahomes tosses for 289 yards and 3 touchdowns against the porous Cowgirl defense!! Cowboy Owner Jones hires the United States Secretary of Defense as his new defensive coordinator!!
Ravens 28 at Bears 17
The Ravens have the Bear's number and continue to kick their bare Bear butts!!
Have a great sports week:
