The Disrespectful Bryce Index: An Oklahoma Special

I’m kind of pissed off today. Not because Missouri is 7-4, mind you. When Beau Pribula went down with a dislocated ankle against Vanderbilt earlier this season, I figured we might end up at this point, with not much to play for but pride by the time Thanksgiving rolled around.
