LSU Invades Norman: 2:30 PM Sooner Showdown Set
LSU will make its first regular-season trip to Norman on Nov. 29, with kickoff scheduled at 2:30 p.m. on ABC or ESPN. This marks only the second regular-season meeting between the Tigers and Sooners; LSU leads the all-time series 3-1, including wins in Baton Rouge in 2024 and bowl victories in the 2003 Sugar Bowl and 2019 Peach Bowl, while Oklahoma’s lone win came in the 1949 Sugar Bowl. Both teams wrap up their 2025 SEC campaigns head-to-head, with Oklahoma aiming to build on its upset of Alabama and LSU seeking to rebound after a midseason coaching change under Brian Kelly. Before LSU arrives, the Sooners will host Missouri on Nov. 22 at 11 a.m. on ABC.
Fans are hereby mandated by SEC law to relinquish their entire afternoon to this high-stakes clash—because why settle for lunch when you can tailgate with strangers and judge each other’s cornhole skills? TV executives have finally ended the age-old debate of “lunch or dinner kickoff?” by scheduling a game smack dab in the awkward middle. Expect LSU to trek north with leftover pep from their coaching soap opera, while Oklahoma locals treat this like the annual awkward family reunion—only with more burnt burgers and flag-themed folding chairs. Strap in at 2:30 p.m. for the collision of plastic helmets, stale bagels, and stolen parking spots.
Sooners Shock the Tide and Snag Pop-Tarts Crown
On Nov. 15, Oklahoma stunned No. 4 Alabama 23-21 in Tuscaloosa, snapping the Crimson Tide’s 17-game home win streak. The Sooners’ defense delivered three takeaways that turned into 17 points, anchored by Eli Bowen’s 87-yard pick-six and Tate Sandell’s trio of field goals. Despite only 212 yards of offense, Oklahoma improved to 5-2-1 all-time against Alabama and secured its highest-ranked road win since 2017. As a result, the Sooners earned the FWAA’s Pop-Tarts Crazy Good Team of the Week honor, joining 284 previous winners and scoring a custom Pop-Tarts care package plus a handcrafted game ball. Nominees included Navy’s comeback heroes and Texas A&M’s record-breaking rally.
Because nothing screams athletic supremacy like a breakfast snack sponsorship, the Sooners not only humbled Alabama but also solidified their place in the Pop-Tarts Hall of Fame. Apparently defensive coordinators double as dessert consultants, sprinkling sugary glory on every forced fumble. Overpaid TV analysts are still recalibrating their shock meters after this pastry-fueled upset. Rumor has it Alabama fans are now required to carry their own toaster burners just to stand a chance next time. Move over playoffs—real power comes with a custom toaster-safe game ball and enough Pop-Tarts to fuel an army of tailgaters.
