This season has gone about as bad as it could go for the Oklahoma Sooners. Their bowl hopes became minuscule after their loss to Missouri on Saturday night.

Oklahoma’s down so bad that Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz had the opportunity to take a shot at the Sooners and former OU head coach Bob Stoops.

“This will be real disappointing to Bob Stoops,” Drinkwitz said at the beginning of his postgame press conference, “but OU doesn’t always whip Missouri’s (expletive).”

Drinkwitz was responding to a comment from Stoops back in the spring related to the Sooners’ move to the SEC. Stoops told ESPN, “We beat the (expletive) out of Missouri, all of a sudden now we’re supposed to be afraid of them?”

And they had.

Prior to Saturday’s loss, the Sooners were 8-2 since 1999 against the Tigers and held a 67-24-5 record. Now that moves to 67-25-5 in their 97 matchup history.

But with this win, Drinkwitz gets the upperhand on Brent Venables and the Oklahoma Sooners, especially as they work the midwest on the recruiting trail.

The Sooners have a lot of soul-searching to do with a bye week and then games against Alabama and LSU to close the season. Venables and OU are staring a losing season in the face for the second time in the last three seasons.
