You know the scene. You’ve seen it a thousand times. A college football coach stands alone on the sidelines, his players and assistants looking to him for answers that he doesn’t have. They’ve lost this football game, and lost it badly.

“Charley Pell’s off-the-books slush fund!” you think, “what must that guy be thinking in this moment?!?!”

As usual we have some ideas. Friends, this is Oklahoma head coach Brent Venables in the waning moments of Saturday’s 41-13 loss to your Georgia Bulldogs:

What was Brent Venables thinking?

A) “‘Defense wins championships’ my butt.”

B) “Thank goodness Lincoln Riley’s stinking it up at USC, that should buy me a little time.”

C) “Let me just set this Google news alert for ‘Dabo Swinney fired.‘ Just in case.“

D) “🎶There’s Mateer, I need beer, ‘cause to the playoffs we ain’t near…..🎶

As always, your speculation on what was going on in Coach Venables’ head are welcome in the comments.

Go ‘Dawgs!!!
