Tear Down This Wall

Here's the problem with being an OU fan - unrealistic expectations when the reality is bad.
First, we lose Jermaine Gresham before the season.
Second, we lose Sam Bradford in the first half of the first game
Third, we have three new starting receivers in 2009, one of whom breaks his shoulder in Game Four.
Fourth, we have four new starting linemen in 2009.
All of this, and we've lost two game to Top 20 teams by a grand total of two points. Yes, with eight brand new starters on offense, we're that close to the best schools in the country.
And, some of you want to bitch about the results?
Get a life.
We've been dealt a string of bad luck injury-wise at the exact same time we were going to be breaking in alot of new players anyway. It is what it is.
Fortunately, Bob Stoops says he won't accept excuses. And, I believe he and his coaching staff are still coaching as aggressively as if Sam or Jermaine were still in there.
If these eight new guys are playing this close to Top 20 teams in their first go around...that bodes well for the future, in my mind.
