Honest question...
Most of us seem to have predicted a 8-10 win season at the start of the year. I thought we'd go 10-2, with losses to Tennessee and Baylor.
Now that we have FAR exceeded our expectations, I can honestly say that while I'll be disappointed if we lose, I certainly won't be as angry as I would be during regular season games. I was angry as hell after the Texas game, and I would've been pissed to lose against anyone else.
But now that we're in the playoff this year, I feel a strange sense of calm/relief. I fully realize my expectations don't mean squat, nor do they have a bearing on how the team actually plays... but it's just been such an awesome year, and a rare one where the Oklahoma Sooners actually EXCEEDED fan expectation. I mean... think about that... this fanbase legitimately expects us to go undefeated every year and win the National Championship just about every year. For ANY Oklahoma Sooners team to EXCEED the absurd expectations that we set forth, doesn't that just make this season all the more fun?
It's just interesting to look at the psychology of it. If we get beat by Bama or Clemson in the 1st round by 7-10 points, sure... it'll suck, but I won't break a TV remote over it or go on a killing spree like I did after Texas. But next year, if we don't win it all, I'll be pissed... lol
Anyone else? Or will you be angry and demand coaching changes if we don't win it all?
