Beating Texas finally ended the touchdown drought, though the refs still got screamed at all afternoon.
The emotional rollercoaster
Oklahoma fans’ misery during the game, every 15 minutes. Up is worse.
What happened
Oklahoma beat Texas 27-24 in the Red River game, which should have been enough to make a fanbase forget two months of grievances. It mostly wasn't. The turning point came when the Sooners finally found the end zone against Texas, ending a drought that had become its own cursed folklore — hence the all-caps victory lap: "AND LET THAT BE A LESSON TO YOU ALL. NO ONE, AND I MEAN NO ONE, HOLDS US TO 3 STRAIGHT YEARS WIHTOUT A TD!" Even winning, somebody still asked "WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE REFS ON???" At 3-2, joy arrives pre-complained-about.
