Real Leprechaun Talk

"Y'all too late bruh! The Echoes are wide awake!"

Growing up in the hood you learn real quick that you have to keep your head on a swivel at all times, especially in the ride. Never pull up at a stop light at night without surveying all three mirrors the entire 30 seconds that the car is sitting. One mistake could cost you your car and your life because boyz will come out of nowhere and jack you.

Well the Oklahoma Sooners felt the same way on Saturday night in Norman when they pulled up at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. They were paying attention like the big homie’s taught them but only for 28 of the 30 seconds and Notre Dame came out of the bushes and shocked them 30-13. Now the final score wasn’t indicative of the great defensive battle that occurred in Norman. There were only two big offensive plays all night long but they were both from Notre Dame. In a game of that magnitude that's all it takes too.

Cierre Woods caught boyz sleepin’ on a dive play that went 62 yards for a touchdown, the longest play for the Irish all season, to go up 7-3 with 6:24 left in the 1st quarter. After a great defensive flurry of only giving up field goals on both sides the Sooners tied the ball game 13-13 with 9:10 remaining in the game.

All of a sudden the Notre Dame Leprechaun car jacked the Sooner Schooner and head up I-35 North going a 100 mph when Everett Golsen launched a 50 yard bomb down the middle of the field to set up the go ahead touchdown to make it 20-13 that essentially broke the back of Sooner Nation!

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Notre Dame is the real deal! That was the best defense I’ve seen since the Alabama defense in the national title game. These boyz are not playing and the Irish coaching staff is even better. They have so much confidence in that defense that they were willing to give OU everything in front of them and allow them to get into the Red Zone where they only give up points 21% of the time.

That’s what I call cocky but when you have a beast like Manti Te’o running the show and boyz are responding to him you can do that. I didn’t give the Irish a nerd’s chance in the ghetto pushing a Bentley with the windows down and doors unlocked to come out of Norman alive bruh! However, they came through, ate all of the Billy Sims BBQ without leaving a tip all while kicking over the tables, beat up the ole timers in the boot shop taking all of the exotics joint they could carry, put ND jerseys on all of the Will Rogers statues in the state and bounced!

Everett Golsen, who had been responsible for 7 of the 8 turnovers all season played with ice water in his veins homeboy! He didn’t make a mistake all night long and that was the difference maker. They played the perfect game on both sides of the ball. Notre Dame had no turnovers and only 1 penalty for only 5 yards all night. Who does that? On the ROAD bruh? You can’t hate on that even if you wanted to. On some real talk, they dominated the game from the word go. OU just held on to the rope until the knot came lose in the 4th quarter! That's real Leprechaun talk in the barber shop pimpin'!

NOTRE DAME IS BACK! As much as it pained me to watch them take advantage of my beloved Sooners I can’t hate! They ARE THE REAL DEAL and I would love to see that defense continue to get better and keep winning! The ole timers taught me that you have to support the team that beats you because if they keep winning it makes you look better! So Go Irish! SMH and throwing up at the same time!

Y’all know because I live in Indiana I’ll be looking for that darn Leprechaun to get our Sooner Schooner back this week. I just hope that it’s not trashed because it was full of women and beer when it turned the corner out of the stadium onto to Jenkins Ave. headed for the expressway bumpin' that "Wake Up The Echoes." Those two white ponies’, Boomer and Sooner, can’t take the cold weather so be a sport and return it ASAP! You got the win so give us the ride back it's only fair!

Once again congrats on the huge road win but I thought that Touchdown Jesus didn’t travel to road games. Boyz must have snuck him into the stadium last night because it was a magical win for the Irish! The Echoes were awake and singing all over Norman spilling Irish beer everywhere!

Holla At Ya Boy!
