OSU fans find new way to celebrate futility…

In my 47 or so years of being a born-and-bred OU fan, I don’t think I’ve ever felt sorry for the OSU football program.

It’s not for a lack of opportunities — from the missed Iowa State field goal to the Baylor goal-line stand to Brent Parker doing his thing — OSU seems to specialize in making people feel pity. Squinky exists for a reason, right?

All that being said, I’m worried I may be having a change of heart.

Now that OSU is in a lower-level league – and doesn’t compete with OU for the same championships or players – I don’t hate the Cowboys with the same passion I once did. In fact, I’m starting to feel a little bit sorry for them. In this season alone, they lost to Tulsa, they lost their coach, and now — worst of all — they’ve lost their shirts!
