2004 - TGOWWDNS
Others?
We fumbled away the RRS in 2006. Got hosed by the Ducks/refs. And let Boise St drop about 50 on us in the Fiesta.
2007 - Did we really lose to CU after being up 24-7? Yes - then spanked in Fiesta.
2008 - Can't cover a kickoff v UTerus, then can't punch it in the endzone v Florida. But those were legit teams with NFL talent.
Too many major let-downs. I can take a competitive loss to a great team like LSU in 03. But we should at least be competitive and hold the opponent under 30 points to have a chance, IMO.
By the way...I had a very bad feeling about this game and vowed weeks ago that I was not going to watch it. I refused to let a bad game by LJ or a ridiculously poor defensive effort ruin my night. I hear both happened Saturday. I watched a couple of movies with my 2 yr old son while my wife went to a watch party for the 1st half. This is the first time in the last 30 years that I have chosen to NOT watch an OU football game if available. I simply had little faith that we would compete or even win. I DVRd it and periodically checked the score, if we jumped way ahead I was going to start from the beginning and watch the whole thing.
I appreciate some therapeutic feedback.
I had a great night hanging out with little Auston, by the way.
