This is the first time in my 30-ish years of being a Sooner fan that I was scared of being blown out. Heck, this was the first time in 30-ish years that a blowout even entered my mind as a remote possibility!
I know we had some bad years in the 90s, but I was in High School, and although I was a fan, I wasn't as "aware." There were games I thought we might loose, I still thought we could play with anybody. This time, I legitimately was afraid of a blow out.
One of the benefits of being an OU fan has always been that you didn't have to worry about getting embarrassed. You might end up that way (TGOWWDNS springs to mind), but you sure didn't ever go into the game worried about it!
This must be what it's like to be a fan of any other football team in the country. . .and it kinda sucks.
