Can you imagine the thousands of fans who travelled to that game wondering WTF with the play calling.


Stadium is inredible. But they do the Tennessee thing of jamming the seats together to add a few thousand. And getting out of both is a real challenge. Took over 2 hours to just get to the edge of town.

As usual, OU traveled well, and the Michigan fans were impressed. But, the difference between the Michigan game and last years Tennessee game, as we could not figure out, what in the world the offense was doing. Great trip, but frustrating watching our offense

Help me understand the primary goal of the team you support. Historically OU has focused on national championships.

You may need to elaborate on this... or run it by a geography teacher.



My grandmother, on dad's side, retired as 1st and 2nd grade teacher in Maypearl. Both my parents graduated from Waxahachi HS. Had a great grandmother with one of the "Gingerbread" houses on E. Marvin. Know that area well. 989 is a lot more people than when I was a kid going there, I am 77 now

"It’s almost like the team being able to sleep in their own beds during the WS is an advantage"

First of all, they don't stay in their dorms.

Second, how has that worked for Creighton and Nebraska in baseball.

People only complain because they don't want to build a stadium to the level of what is in OKC. Invest, and then you have a legitimate statement
I want to say THANK YOU for providing all this information for this important time.

Wear Crimson


I am so glad. Had season tickets on the 40 for decades before moving to AZ five years ago. Had to buy one white OU T-shirt and one OU sweat shirt for the stripe games. They always had the same pattern.

I am flying in on Thursday and will only wear and bring crimson. If fact only wearing crimson all week.

Thanks for the info regarding Catch the Rush Live. I plan on being there. Easy to find me, I will be wearing OU stuff.

It will be a long day, as my plane is scheduled to depart Phoenix at 5:00, and we don't have DST.

One of the most fun places I have gone for an OU game is Boston, where the OU club meets.

Looking forward to flying out to philly on Friday for the Temple game. Will fly the following Thursday to OKC for the Auburn game.

Try to make an away and a home game per year.

Before moving to AZ, and I still lived in north texas, I worked with them helping people after three hurricanes, as I provided hurricane victim support. They are incredible. They provided me a channel to communicate with them, on a two-way radio app.

Nothing but outstanding people.

The OU fan base largely consists of folks who drive in from OKC or Tulsa and then get TF out of Dodge post game, win or lose.


Mostly true. As a season ticket holder for 28 years, (until moving to AZ to be around my grandkids), Many of us drove up from the DFW. The seats next to ours were owned by a guy in the panhandle and the people he gave the tickets to were usually from the panhandle. They spent more time driving than us. People behind us drove from Missouri. I find that those of us who drove much more, arrived earlier. We had season parking at the Methodist church and took our time in Norman. We didn't stay long after the games though.

The good news about the blow-out games is that all the OKC and Tulsa people left early and made it a bit easier for us to get out of town after the games were over.
We all know $100 handshakes happen everywhere, but OU was one the few schools embracing instituionally-driven systemic cheating for many decades. They did it better than most. Now that everyone can pay players, OU will never be relevant again


Texas fans started this a long time ago. Both Texas and Tennessee had ADs for several years that would tell on other schools, which kept the NCAA looking the other way.

Reality is twice Switzer was found guilty of paying for players to attend family funerals, and he told the NCAA he would do it again, in necessary. Other than that the biggest problem that Switzer caused was that Texas was one of the last schools to integrate their football team, (after othe schools like Mississippi). This allowed Switzer to take a lot of kids that other schools would not recruit. That created a loyalty to Switzer by black HS coaches that lasted several years. DeLoss Dodds, the guy who ruined two conferences, yelled that OU was buying players and of course all their fans believed whatever he said
It is in Dallas. When you see a situation of texsa being ranked #1, their fans come out of the woodwork.

Thank you.

Looking forward to playing in the SEC. Wish you guys were a little more even-handed with the schedule. But believe OU will show up
Was looking at Ole Miss, until I saw the price for tickets. May make Auburn.
Easy. I told you guys that I am old. First attended: OU beating Colorado 42-12, 10/03/59

First on TV: no idea. My mom was one of the biggest OU fans I have ever been around. I was born in 48 and can't remember a time not watchin OU.

Some of them I would hate to see show up here, which would cause me to exit, or do we have a block feature?

I moved from TX to AZ, but am older than dirt and been on boards for way too long
Your position is somewhere between silly and stupid. OU has scheduled ND, GA, Al, and TN, but afraid of AR? OU has been willing to schedule anyone. AR has always said NO!
You should look up who has a winning record in the series.

If you look at when they quit wearing leather helments, OU has won the series. But, texsa built up a great lead in the late 1800s and until WWII started.

I have watched three games where the old SWC refs stole the game, including the Stansberry interception, where the Austin American Stateman showed it and captioned it "The Interception That Never Was". Typical texsa fans just thought it was funny.

look at the name Jack Cisco with OU-Texas game. Texas Rangers had to protect that crook. Heck, while old yellow tooth was coaching, the refs stole a game from Arkansas State. Nothing to brag about there
