Some people go into a state of depression when OU loses - we are disappointed but can quickly move on with life!

Thank you so much!! We do have quite the reputation for being a tad CRAZY ... OK, maybe a lot CRAZY!!! But most of us see it as you ... it's JUST a game! Of course it's more fun when we win but I believe too that there's much more important things to be upset about!!
We love watching OU ... especially with our friends from OK! We do have family & friends who stay mad for a long time ... we just try not to discuss football with them!
Our "real" rival of course, is Auburn! It's
really sad when we lose to them!!
I will give them credit for having a wonderful veterinary school down there! They saved our poodle, Nicole [RIP], from being paralized and the care she received there exceeded the care received in some human hospitals!!
