Questions loom over Sooners’ chances for championship, Cougars scare me
Man. I thought we had that last year. Twice.
I let myself believe that it was going to happen. That we were going to finally win Bob’s second National Championship after reaching the College Football Playoff. All the way up through halftime of the Orange Bowl.
I thought we had it. And it just slowly slipped away.
And then three months later, the Sooner basketball team reaches the Final Four. And we were playing a team we torched earlier in the year. Surely this was it. The first National Title for the Men’s basketball team. And then, well you know what happened.
Don’t get me wrong. Oklahoma athletics are second to none as a program. This past spring the softball team, men’s gymnastics and women’s gymnastics all won National Titles. And all those teams have multiple National Titles in the past three years.
Heck even men’s tennis won an indoor title a few years back.
All is right with OU athletics. But in a way that makes it a little more painful that the football team just can’t quite get it done.
