I have never seen this 1971 OU/Tx footage before

I am 60 years old, I started following OU sports in 1971, truth be told, I only learned that OU football was a thing the week before this game was played. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dH_9RaOoTdA Jack Mildren was a god to 8 year old me and after seeing these plays, particularly the late pitches t...

Is Arnold that Good?

Dillon Gabriel leaving with a year of eligibility left is strange to me, (I could see it if he went with Libby to MSU), but going to Oregon? It only makes sense if he doesn't think he can hold of Arnold. What are you guys hearing about the move?

I might. My family left Tulsa in 1966 for Southern California and I never moved back. And as the musical goes, I am more of an R&B guy.

Oklahoma where the wind comes sweeping down the plains

Since we have some time before the next meaningful football game, I thought I would ask a question that occurred to me during the TCU game. I preface my question(s) by typing, I started following OU in 1970, so my Sooner fandom was fed a heavy does of wishbone. Aside from generations of Running Back...

Re: How would you like to vacation in San Antonia Texas?

I was hoping to play USC anywhere, but they "Rileyied" their way out of that opportunity to get a Sooner rear whoopin'.

Re: Was not pretty but a win.

Hard to believe that Jackson Arnold would have been mentally prepared to play on such short notice, especially after all the red shirt talk recently, but he settled down and made some big throws/plays. Man his ball gets there in a hurry!

Re: Grinch has been fired

I work with a teacher who never misses an opportunity to mention that "USC gave me several hundred thousand $ to go there" (educational scholarships), I've been telling him for 2 years this was coming. He has been enraged by both riley and grinch all year; according to him all of LA wants ...

Re: National Media on OU v. Stinkin

the article tells us to forget LR then spends half the article talking about him. The Black Crowes have a song called Bad Luck Blues Eyes
and one of the lyrics is "I don't trust no one who don't take their own advice."
