This was in the Jack Mildren thread of OrangePower.com and perhaps it's the wrong time to do this but in a long period of mourning there is also that part of you what "wonders" and I wonder about this comment which is also one in commenting on the passing of Mr. Mildren.

Used to be a Sooner fan until 1975 (the 1976 OSU season and victory over the Sooners converted me) and I remember the play-by-play from the Mildren years on the radio. It was very exciting to listen to and to watch.
Didn't remember that his first two seasons were mediocre by OU standards, but he was incredible during that 1971 season.
Jack Mildren had an affect on all who had great respect for him. But, this is about the first part of that comment. ....Used to be an OU fan until an OSU win over the Sooners in 1976? I've never heard that one before considering OU came off an impressive three year run which included 2 national titles. Never would have thought an OSU win over OU would make a former Sooner convert to a Cowboy fan. I was just wondering and chuckling over this.
