Dave’s Worry Meter - page 7

Dave: OU and ISU — the two underachievers of the Big 12

After the Baylor game, I asked my brother and sister in a text what their thoughts were.

My brother’s reply was “We are what they thought we were.” And my sister’s was “This team has so much talent but continues to under achieve.”

I’m tempted to just end this article right here and say the Worry Meter is at 90% this week and have a good day. I think those two replies sum up Oklahoma’s season perfectly.

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.
