We have an amazing team this year, clearly. Best of times as Ketch said. But I always have a little sickening feeling before the game dating back to 2000. That five year stretch when we had a very good team, but lost again and again left me with PTSD. As a reminder:
2000 Oklahoma - 63, Texas - 14
2001 Oklahoma - 14, Texas - 3
2002 Oklahoma - 35, Texas - 24
2003 Oklahoma - 65, Texas - 13
2004 Oklahoma - 12, Texas - 0
Their defense always seemed to come out like chromed up war boys from Mad Max. Year before last 49-0 wasn't enough. I admit I got the shivers in the 1st quarter yesterday, despite all logical argument that we had their number. I know it's a streaky series, but still. I would like to think that NIL makes the game flow to us, but still.
