What should have been an easy victory for the Sooners turned instead into an embarrassing performance - even for the mediocre team OU has this year. It's one thing to beat Texas when we're good and they're not (see the last three meetings between the two). But to soundly beat them when we're not very good would have been even more delicious. I can, even now, smell the cremated flesh of Bevo, bar-b-Que sauce and all the fixins. Ummm. How many times have I had the pleasure of indulging in that particular feast!
But it wasn't to be. We dropped touchdown passes, threw interceptions and got beat up on the offensive line bad. Our defense looked like they haven't seen a running play since little league. Even for a mediocre team, we played poorly.
And UT came to play football. They beat us in every facet of the game.
Now the Sooners will displace some worthy JuCo team (TCU?) at this year's "Sorry You Suck" Bowl.
And it will be up to OSU and Baylor (Gawd!) to prove to the world that the Longhorns really are as bad as all of the UT fans thought they were going in to last Saturday's game.
And the saddest part is that the casual observer might be under the illusion that Texas actually has a pretty good team or that Mack Brown is actually a good coach. What a bunch of crap.
As I shake my head at Stoops and the Sooners, and chuckle at the Longhorns, I feel the urge to talk about something of actual importance. Did anyone see Duck Dynasty last week?
