UTICA SQUARE LIGHTS ON THANKSGIVING!!
Staying with the Thanksgiving Turkey theme I thought I would actually research the term ‘Jive Turkey’!! My understanding goes back to the Bee Gees song ‘Jive Talkin’ which I would sing Jive Turkey with Bee Gees music!!
Webster Definition: A jive turkey is someone who is unreliable, makes exaggerations or empty promises, or who is otherwise dishonest. AKA: politicians, ex-spousal unit, Lincoln Riley head coach USC.
Well, imagine that!!

I have been going to Lights On at Utica Square for 60 years!
And you always see new trendy, neuvo-rich fads at Utica Square Lights On!!
Top Ten Things NOT Seen at Lights On Utica Square Thanksgiving:
10 Tulsa Police on bicycles- actually 1 very large TPD officer:
9 Limos - The limos at Lights On are making a small comeback!! But still not allowed on the inner part of Utica Square!!
8 Gas-guzzling SUVs - Many electric cars are taking the place of Ford frickin 150’s!!!Bring back gas-powered cars!
What the eff is happening to the Square!!
7 Boots with da fur - you just don't see this in front of Utica Saks with 80-degree temps!!
6 LED Christmas Lights - The Helmerich Foundation stated it would never use LED electric lights at Utica Square! Always the traditional lights of the ‘60s!
5 Vapes - no longer allowed at Utica Square, if caught with a vape at the Square you may face 10 years at Big Mac!!
4 UTICA STARBUCKS CLOSED FOR NEW SUPER STARBUCKS!
After the University of Tulsa claimed to have the largest Starbucks in Oklahoma, the Square decided to have a square block dedicated to Starbucks!! The largest in the World!! This will take 3 years to build!!
3 Bell bottoms and disco platform shoes!! Mr. and Mrs. B in T wear ours to Aldi’s every week!! Well, I do for sure!! I just don't see anyone wearing disco stuff at Lights On!!! WTFrick!!
2 Old Fashion ‘80s Yuppies - I personally loved making fun of the prepsters back then!! Some 60 + year-old try to be yupsters and it is not a good look for old farts! Those were the days at Utica Square Lights On!!
1 The 1963 Fashions of the Utica Square Lights On! Dillard, Brown Dunkin, Wigwam Bakery, Piggly-Wiggly, and Walgreens Drug Store were all in the Square and have been replaced by more modern retailers!!! The clothing has changed!! The 60s hot pants era should resurrect at Utica Square Lights On this Thanksgiving!!
Not to be trite but I miss hot
pants quite a bit!!!

🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃
The GLADIATOR
This dude Chops off heads for a living!
Oklahoma 51 TCU 21
If OU scores more than 50 points the entire stadium wins a surprise‼️ A Black Friday Special, the entire stadium with proof of ticket purchase will get a VIZIO 58" Class V-Series 4K LED TV for half-price!! One caveat, you must purchase the Vizio by midnight Friday at any Sams or Walmart in Norman!!
The stadium was empty when the score hit fifty!! The 3 Walmarts and 1 Sams were flooded! Truckloads of Vizios were in line behind each store!
OC Jeff Levy is off the hot seat after his offense amassed 565 yards against the Horny Frogs!! He will be back on the hot seat next week!!
Arkansas 34 Missouri 31
After a rare win a number of Razorback Trustees are willing to give coach Pittman 2 days to get out of Fayetteville instead of one!! The Tyson Razorback trustees are not happy!! I have discussed eliminating Tyson's frozen chicken nuggets from the grandkids' diet since prices are going up again!! Sam Pittman ruins the Tiger's SEC title possibilities!! Tyson CEO resigns from board!! Pittman stays!
Nebraska 8 Iowa 7
A blizzard similar when Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer was discovered in 1964!! With the Lincoln temp at 5 degrees Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz accused the Husker equipment staff of giving them old resale shop Coleman heaters!! Thus causing Frostbite many of his skill players!! Does Iowa have skill players?
Texas 42 Texas Tech 20
Texas plays a 4th string QB before Arch Manning and still beats Tech by 32!!
Oklahoma State 38 BYU 28
QB Alan Bowman throws 2 touchdown passes in the first half and is benched for not handing off to RB Ollie Gordon the III!! Ollie gets 22 carries, 203 yards and saves the OC’s job in the second half!!
Ollie received flowers from his mom then signed a NIL deal with Little Shop of Flowers on Main Street in Stillwater, OK!!
Tulsa 35 at East Carolina 31
Tulsa is not bowl-eligible but is eligible for numerous academic accolades!! True freshman walk-on Kirk Francis threw for 352 yards and 3 TDs!! Immediately after the game, he was picked AAC Player of the Year for 2024-25!! Francis then signed a NIL deal with Hasty-Bake Czar Dick Alexander for 500 Hasty Bake bucks on his purchase at the Tulsa store!!
As usual, wait til next year!!
Notre Dame 42 at Stanford 35
Notre Dame accepts a bid to play Holy Cross in the very first Empire Bowl in Rome, Italy!
The Colosseum prior to famous groundskeeper George Toma inserting turf from Bixby, Oklahoma sod farms!! No shat!
The Irish’s Magnum PI QB throws 2 fourth-quarter TDs to preserve the victory!!
LSU 41 Arkansas 31
The Hog is considered an endangered species in Baton, Rouge!! I really liked Coach Pittman at Arkansas!!
Kansas State 35 Iowa State 27
Iowa State has often been known as Kansas State’s brethren from the north!! They hug each other prior to the game and gouge each other's eyes out after the game!! If your QB has his hair in curlers the night before a game usually I pick against them!! But…….KState Avery Johnson (yes, I have a man crush on Avery) can get away with a wave hair treatment when he passes and runs for 4TDs against the Clones! Game over!
Ohio State 28 at Michigan 20
The Wolverine coaches are being accused of espionage from the sidelines of Ann Arbor to Russia!! This high-profile game was on ABC, ESPN, ESPN+, CNN, and The History Channel!! Spy Gate Kahki Pants is coaching too well, so watch out for the NCAA Infractions folks and the CIA folk to pay him a visit very soon!! With their spies, spying on spies, and the Buckeyes QB Kyle McCord throwing 3 touchdowns the victory over their arch-rivals was epic!!
Illinois 24 Northwestern 17
Illinois has accepted a bid to play in the Outer Space Bowl at the International Space Station's new football stadium!!
All u folks who don't believe me, just GOOGLE it!!
B in T High School Picks:
SEMIFINALS
6A
Bixby 38 Owasso 35
Picking against my good friend and a top assistant coaches in America is hard but I must pick accordingly! Sorry, Antonio!!
The Owasso D held the Bixby juggernaut I to under 40 points for the first time since gas was under 2 bucks a gallon!! Owasso is a huge recruiting area for Bixby so they kept the score under a fitty!! Bixby starters were up by 21 and in came reserves, Rams came within 6 and the starters were back from PlayStation 6 in the locker room to finish the game!!
Bixby got a scare but are on to the finals again!!
Jenks 47 Union 38
The Jones Brothers (Jenks Owen Jones and Kaydin Jones not related at all) are a tough duo and out-touchdowned Union Redhawks with studs Shaker Riesig and Jino Boyd!!
The Joneses (not the Jonas Brothers) accounted for 444 yards from scrimmage and 6 while Riesig and Boyd accounted for 420 yards and
5 touchdowns!!
6AII
Choctaw 38 Stillwater 31
Tough pick but Choctaw by a touchdown, more talent and depth!! And much better coaching!! Right Shelly?!!!
Deer Creek 35 Muskogee 34
Muskogee talent is led by left-handed gunslinger QB, Jamarian Ficklin who threw for 3 touchdowns and 289 yards while rushing for 1 touchdown!! Ficklin will be the top QB recruit in Oklahoma in 2024! Tough loss!
5A
Carl Albert 48 OKC Bishop McGinnis 13
Carl Albert is recruiting numerous kids from McGinnis by handing out NIL flyers after the game with CA players' likenesses at different car dealerships!!
3A
Lincoln Christian 38 Perkins-Tryon 31
The Lincoln Christian Bulldogs are here every year as lead Minister Ron Otto always allows the football team to have a turkey 🍗 personally fried by the Minister until his eyebrows and left ear were singed in 2022!! Replacing Otto was Staff Assistant Maybelle Sue Snippy who deep-fried over 100 turkeys this year!! The deep-fried Turkey tradition continues at LC!! On to the finals!!
2A Quarterfinals
Kiefer 58 Alva 20
Downtown Kiefer lit trees and decorum all along Main Street with a million Christmas lights!! So many lights that a major PSO outage occurred and delayed the game while maintenance looked for the key to unlock the generator!!
Keifer won the game and will play through New Year's!!
B in T NFL Picks:
Thanksgiving 🦃
Madden Turkey Leg
🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗🍗
Each member of the winning team on Thanksgiving 2023 receives a Turkey Leg from The Pioneer Woman, Pawhuska, Oklahoma!!
Cowboys 35 Commanders 20
The Commander's new QB Sam Howell did not have time to make proper reads of the Cowboy defense and proper potty breaks!! He was forced to use a timeout to rush to the men's room to potty in the 4th quarter!! The Cowboy fans were relentless!!
Chiefs 31 at Raiders 21
The Chiefs tried to chop the heads of the Raider fans in Las Vegas but were met with defiance by the hard-headed Raider folks!!
Texans 31 Jaguars 28
The Texans RB Dameon Pierce ran for 156 yards and 2 touchdowns as a last-second Hail Mary pass from CJ Stroud to Dell Industries gave the Texans the victory!!
Colts 28 Buccaneers 27
Another heartbreaking loss for Baker! Dazed and confused from a last-minute loss to Gardner Minshew, he can hardly speak in a post-game presser!!
Have a great sports week!!
