I am one part drunk, and one part nostaglic this evening. I was lucky enough to grow up during th tournaround. I was a 5th grader at the OU game when we finally parted the Red Sea. I was in high school during the 98 run, and balled like a school girl when we lost to Sir Parker and the Aggies. Later in life, I was lucky enough to watch us beat USC and win the big 12 title in arrowhead as my future wife and I froze our asses off and drank smuggled schnapps. There were so many moments during that run that I will cherish forever.
Today, I sit here feeling complete apathy and a little strange. I was spoiled for so long, and I can't make heads or tails out of the crap I have been watching the past few years. It began with the loss to the Bison at home. As the fireworks got shot off after a poorly managed game, I drank as much Boulevard as I could handle. It seemed "off" at that moment. Tonight, I feel like the feel good story, the magic, and the feeling that has been inside of me since my first "bowl party" is gone. the team lacks emotion, our coaches seem to have no handle on the game that continually evolves. The worst part is, one of my heroes seems to be fading right before my eyes and should have stepped down while he was on top in 2012. This sucks, and something just really seems off with the program as a whole. Time for a change, and time for another Dale's Pale Ale
