Dave: No sugar coating — this team is bad right now, until Gabriel makes return

Published on October 13, 2022 by Dave

Now I guess we know how it felt to be texas fans when OU was handing them 65-13 and 63-14 beat downs.

But at the very least we can take solace in the fact that we are NOT, in fact, actual texas fans.

I can’t imagine… It’s pretty thin times for Oklahoma Football right now. In some ways historically thin.

But I am sure you have heard all the stats and streaks that have been broken or started during the last three games. No real need to re-hash it all here. There’s no sugar coating it. We are just a bad football team right now.

I do think that Brent, given time, will get it turned around. It just depends on if Joe C. will give him that time. I mean John Blake got three years.

But that was almost 25 years ago. College football is much different now. The money is fatter and the patience is thinner.

I think Joe will do the right thing and give Brent the time he needs. However there needs to be visible improvement pretty quickly. Like this year.

Now I know it was just one game. And my good friend Mike told me not to panic just yet. They were mostly correctable mistakes. And he is probably right.

But if the Sooners really want to be considered for the big trophy at the end of the season, stuff needs to get real. Like right now.

The game Oklahoma State points to every year to make their season is this Saturday in Norman.

The chance to try and knock off big brother is always their ultimate goal.

Yes, Oklahoma State’s Super Bowl is this week.

Sorry, I mean its Bedlam week.

And the pokies have a pretty stout team this time around. They’re tied for first in the Big 12 in defense for points given up per ga
