And since I drank a damn dog bowl of garbage for UMass-New Mexico State, I’m happy with simple and good right now. It’s not very original or complex, but it’s good. 2022 is weird in the Sooner State.Īnyway, in honor of that we’re boozing up your Roy Rogers. Or maybe it ends something stupid like 23-14. That rules! And while this will only be the second time in eight seasons where one of these teams is unranked, the Sooners, once a top 10 team in their own right, still have the extra gear to turn this into a true shootout. The Cowboys have only won 18 times in 108 tries, but look at some of the scores this game has produced the last decade: Regardless, in-state rivalries produce bonkers games and Oklahoma-Oklahoma State is no exception. Oklahoma State was 5-0 and a top 10 team for a minute but has gone 2-3 since (though reentered the rankings this week by virtue of a seven-point win over 4-6 Iowa State). Oklahoma has fallen on hard times following Lincoln Riley’s departure (and the departure of multiple players alongside him). That led to a very easy choice for Week 12’s College Football Cocktail, even if this year’s edition of Bedlam doesn’t look nearly as appealing as it did in August. Just know Coke and cherries are Oklahoma’s jam and so is college football. Rogers was actually born in Ohio and lived in California, but he made a movie called Home in Oklahoma and … you know what? Too much backstory. It’s cherry Coke, named after a famous cowboy/entertainer whose identity, for east coast millennials, is more closely linked to rest stop fast food than the man himself. The plains equivalent of a Shirley Temple is cola and grenadine and … well that’s about it. The unofficial state drink of Oklahoma is the Roy Rogers, which is slightly less boring. This, somehow is not the lamest choice that could be made Indiana’s official beverage is water, which is a fitting reminder to never visit Indiana.* The official state drink of Oklahoma is milk, which is boring but fairly standard it’s the official state drink, in one form or another, of 23 different places.
