The only thing that comes close to satisfying a Texas fan as much as a win by the Horns is a loss by Oklahoma. This has been true for more than one hundred years, but the tears of a Sooner may never have tasted better. For there is something uniquely magnificent about watching Bob Stoops fail.
And fail he is in 2009! Not only were the Sooners routed today, 41-13 by Texas Tech, but the loss was Oklahoma's fifth of the season -- the most since 1999, when OU went 7-5 during Bob Stoops' first season on the job. And if the indignity of an impending .500 season isn't enough, Mack Brown and the Longhorns are 10-0 with an inside track on the national title game.
Everyone endures struggles and Texas has certainly been on the other side of this particular story, but there may be no coach in the country as ugly as is Bob Stoops in the face of adversity. Oklahoma will be back, but in the meantime Texas fans will savor every minute of the misery.
