ANDALICIOUS
Located on the Northwest corner of 61st and Yale, in Tulsa, Oklahoma in Kingspointe Village is another hidden jewel of the culinary community. A tasty Tex-Mex experience awaits diners at Andales Tex-Mex Cantina. The food is hot and fresh, with some new twists to old recipes such as Spanish Rice, white or yellow queso dip and a variety of homemade salsas.
The prices won't leave a dent in your budget and there is a competitively priced lunch menu. Unlike one of the other major cantina chains, Andales still has fajitas-for-two on the menu for a reasonable amount of cash. On your birthday, dessert's on the house so order up some decadent bunuelos and enjoy the lightest, crispiest dessert in town. As if the question had to be asked,…Yes, Andales has speedy friendly service so come on! Enjoy!
LADIES DON'T LOOK!
Outdoor water parks closed on Labor Day. With temperatures dropping and people commuting to work in canoes, are gentlemen prepared to deal with another shower when nature calls? Probably not. That's where Anti-Splash International comes in.
ASI not only manufactures a men's room wall receptacle screen guard, they've taken sanitation in the loo to the next level. The company makes a mat that hangs in the back of the receptacle and limits, even eliminates backsplash with incredible effectiveness. The device comes in three colors: Royal Blue, Scarlet Red and Environmentalist Brown.
Installation is easy but be careful to stay dry. The manufacturer's instructions are to replace the mats "every two weeks or so, depending on traffic." The website goes on to say dry, sanitary living goes for "about 35 cents per day" per device. This has been yet another public service announcement of the CPEL.
TULSA
With the Oklahoma Thunder several miles away in downtown Tulsa losing 96-91, the TU Golden Hurricane had their own troubles on their hands. After a see-saw game in the first quarter, Boise State scored 10 points in each of the 2nd and 3rd quarters to take the lead over the Golden Hurricane for good Wednesday night at Chapman Stadium in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The ESPN televised contest was played in cold misty conditions which customarily don't arrive in this part of the country until Halloween. In this case, a 4th quarter TU touchdown wasn't enough to catch up to the Broncos as Boise trick-or-treated its way to a 6-0 record. This was one of the "measuring stick" games on TU's schedule and Coach Todd Graham's team almost reached the high water mark, losing 28-21.
At 4-2 the Hurricane has not suffered a Conference USA loss and is still in the hunt for the conference championship. For the second week in a row, Tulsa plays on Wednesday night at the University of Texas-El Paso. UTEP has presented some challenges for TU in previous years but surprisingly Tulsa has won 5 of 7 meetings in El Paso versus an even 4-4 record against the Miners in T-Town.
Tulsa is loaded with talent and has faced some tough competition in Oklahoma and Boise State but the Miners could tunnel out a good game, having faced #2 Texas and being able to defeat Houston at home. A conservative Hurricane overcasts the Sun Bowl Wednesday for another televised game on ESPN. Tulsa 35, UTEP 20.
ARKANSAS
Arkansas fans wished they were looking into the future when the team handed Auburn 21-point loss in the unfriendly confines of Auburn, Alabama. This brought the Hogs' record to 3-2 on the year, 1-2 in conference play. Celebrations were likely limited to the ride to the airport because this week is a little tougher for U of A.
Florida's Heisman and national championship winning quarterback is highly questionable for this Saturday's game at The Swamp in Gainesville, Florida. According to a FoxSports.com report The 1:30pm CDT contest with the Razorbacks has been circled as a "trap game" on the Gators' schedule. Now with Tim Tebow likely not to play, and in light of the Hogs' road win at Auburn, the cardinal and white fans are rolling up to this one with a great deal of optimism.
This game could make Arkansas' season and losing will do no damage so if pigs fly, the Russian Boars could pull this one off. Since Florida has thoroughbred athletes at every position and a raucous crowd that refuses to let its team lose, CPEL is still going with the Gators. UF 31, Splash! Chomp! Razorbacks 24.
TENNESSEE
Winning solidly, by a score of 45-19, over rival Georgia last week had to be sweet for Rocky Top and the other hounds sniffing around Knoxville, Tennessee. With conference losses to Florida and Auburn, from the eastern and western divisions of the Southeastern Conference respectively, there is little margin for error for the Volunteers as the rest of the schedule approaches. UT is idle this weekend but travels to Alabama for a swim at the Tidal pool in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Predictions on that one next week.
OKLAHOMA STATE
The Cowboys (not to be confused with the John Wayne flick) picked up a good road win in College Station, Texas Saturday, winning 36-31. Kyle Field is a purgatory for opposing teams and a five-point win is equal to a 10-12 point win anywhere else in the nation so winning over aTm was a good victory and definitely a step in the winning direction for OSU.
Saturday night at 8:15pm CDT, a wildcard Missouri Tiger squad comes to Stillwater, Oklahoma for what should be a topsy-turvy interdivisional Big 12 Conference game. While the teams are fairly evenly matched, MU is still smarting from a home loss to Nebraska last weekend. It would appear the Shuckers are re-emerging as a force in the North. Fortunately, the Pokes don't face NU this season.
Always athletic, Mizzou should provide a lot of entertainment and only frostbite will prevent T. Boone Pickens Stadium from emptying before the final whistle blows. Oklahoma State, star wide receiver Dez Bryant swirling in controversy, should be focused enough to win but weather may play a factor in the late evening contest. OSU 37, MU 34.
OKLAHOMA
Not to complain, but somebody needs to do something about this rooster 11am CDT kick-off business. Fair goers won't even have time to frog down a Fletcher's Corny Dog a fried Snickers bar a fresh beverage of choice and not splash their boots (Thanks to ASI.) before stadium gates open at the Cotton Bowl in downtown Dallas, Texas Saturday morning. Beware the Ides of October.
On a positive note, Oklahoma fans will be able to make a hasty exit through the mob of inebriated Texans after Texas soundly defeats the Sooners. Yes, gloom and doom for the Okies in this one. Here's why:
- Oklahoma has a rusty Heisman winner, in Sam Bradford, returning at quarterback for only the second week this season.
- Oklahoma's receivers' gloves have as much wear on them as the men's room splash mat at Bed Bath & Beyond because they couldn't catch a cold at the North Pole.
- Texas has a score to settle with the Sooners after defeating OU last season, then sitting on their Texas sofas, burping pizza juice, watching the boys in crimson play for a national title on January 8th against Florida.
- UT multi-year senior Jordan Shipley made OU's defensive backfield look like a Pop Warner crew enough times last year that there's no reason to believe he won't eclipse this defensive backfield just like he did last week against Colorado.
- Texas and Miami share game tapes and the hole in OU's defense can be seen from a weather satellite.
- Offensive game plan: 1st down, hand-off up the middle, 2nd down, hand-off up the middle, 3rd down,…surprise! Hand-off up the middle. Punt!
Had enough? Here's to opposite's day ala Spongebob Squarepants. 'Horns 52, Oklahoma 30.
THE PERCENTAGES
Last week CPEL went 3-2 thanks to the Arkansas and Tennessee wins. That brings the season total to 15-7. That's a small retreat to 68% for Big Tex and his Lone Star officiating team.
Thanks for reading and have a great weekend.
