Sooners will redeem ‘big game’ name
There was a time when Oklahoma Coach Bob Stoops was known as “Big Game Bob” because of his penchant for outcoaching the competition in monumental end-of-the-season showdowns.
Likewise, I should be called “Big Game Bianchi” or “Mega Game Mikey” because of my unbelievable acumen for predicting the winner of national championship games involving the Florida Gators. If you’re scoring at home, I’m a perfect 3-0 in forecasting the outcome of the University of Florida’s national championship games.
My published prediction of a Nebraska victory before the Cornhuskers and jailbird tailback Lawrence Phillips stampeded the Gators 62-24 in the 1996 Fiesta Bowl: “The game is at night and everybody knows criminals do their best work after dark.”
