I was thinking about this the other day and I came up with :
!972 OU 17-Nebraska 14 I was 12 years old and this wasthe first football bet I ever made.I was scared at half because we were down 14-3.Tinker made a couple of big catches in the second half and we won,saving my $5.
1973 Barry takes over OU following probation and OU meets UT and Royal for the annual showdown.It was a bloodbath 52-13,OU jumped OUt early and never looked back.Royal didn't know it yet but he WAS NEVER going to beat OU again.His last six RRS he was 0-5-1 and some people STILL can't figure out why he really quit.
1975 OU had just suffered their first loss under Switzer the week before 23-3 and it looked like it was going to be two losses in a row,OU was down 27-20(after being up 20-0)with about three minutes or so to go facing 4TH and 1 on the Sooner 29 yardline.It was at this point I am forced to admit that I lost it and walked out the door.Switzer goes for it and pitches to Little Joe and 71 yards later,TOUCHDOWN OU.Little Joe scores the two point conversion and OU hangs on.I of course did not find this out until later.
1977 OU 29- 28 TOSU OU jumps out 20-0 in the first quarter and the rout is on.Then OU loses QB Thomas Lott to injury,Billy Sims leaves the game hurt and(I think ) Kenny King as well.Buckeyes go up 28-20 and Switzer finally sends in Dean Blevins after using frosh Jay Jimerson who had no luck moving the Sooners.Blevins leads OU to a TD to cut the lead to 28-26 BUT 2 point try fails.OU goes for the onsidekick,recovers it and Von Schaman makes THE KICK.
1986 OU 20 Nehraska 17 OU trails Nebraska late 17-10 in the 4th quarter,Holiway leads OU downfield with his arm using Keith Jackson as a big weapon and OU scores to tie the game 17 all.Most people(myself included) think the Huskers will run out the clock and the game will end in atie.OU D rises up and stuffs NU and takes over with like a minute and a half left.Holiway once agin hits some big passes,including a 41 yard one hand grab by Jackson,to set up Lashar's game winning FG.Following Jacksons one hand grab Sooner pressbox coaches hear a Nebraska coach (in an adjoining box) scream SONUVA BITCH THEY ARE GONNA DO IT TO US AGAIN.
1995 OU 30-27 UT This is just about my only memory of theBlake years.OU was a BIG underdog (24 pts I think) and was winless entering the gamw.Demond Parker and James Allen combined to run OU to victory in OU's first ever OT game.
2000 OU 63-14 UT This was the game that for me signalled not only was the NIGHTMARE over but that a new GREAT SOONER ERA was at hand.UT was beaten from the word go and I loved itQ sored 6 TDs and Brent Musberger said MACK BROWN HAS THE LOOK OF A PUZZLED,PUZZLED MAN.
2000 OU 31-14 NU This game removed what little doubt remained in Sooner hearts that this was a SPECIAL team.The Sooner crowd was the loudest I had ever heard at the start of the game.After Nebraska scored quickly to go up 14-0 it was so quiet you could have heard a marshmellow hit the turf at Owen Field.That is why I think there was still an inkling of doubt in Sooner hearts,at least I know I had a little doubt in mine.Josh brought us back down the field for a couple of quick scores to tie the game and pandemonium reigned. Nebraska never even really threatened to score after that.
2000 OU 13-2 FSU in the FEDEX ORANGE BOWL.OU was supposed to be exposed and beaten by the SUPERIOR talent and experience of Bobby B's Boys.OU D slapped Weinke around all night and did just enough on offense to win.I would be remiss if I failed to mention Jeff Ferguson's great play on the bad snap.IF he was not so quick thinking a possible FSU TD could have made things dicey.
2003 OU 65-13 UT All we kept hearing from UT is that VY was eight feet tall.weighed 350 pounds and could run at the speed of light and had a howitzer arm.We were doomed.Fortunately for us VY earned the nickname FUMBLES MCSCRAMBLE that day and the outcome was quickly decided.
2003 OU 52-9 osu This was the game where Les Miles said TODAY TWO TEAMS PLAY,ONE IS A PRETTY GOOD TEAM AND THE OTHER MIGHT BE THE BEST IN THE NATION.THIS AFTERNOON WE WILL FIND OUT WHICH IS WHICH.Didn't take long for Miles to figure out which was which.I still believe that Bob used this beatdown to send a messageto Miles,not about his pregame comments but about his cockiness after winningin '01,'02.Mark Bradley throwing a TD pass on a trick play with OU up big is one o fthe reasons I feel that way.The look on Miles' face during the game was priceless.
2007 OU 38-17 MU Missouri players shot their mouth off after OU beat them in the regular season saying WE BEAT OURSELVES.The remaych left no questions .Booger Daniel was on the run(for his life) much of the night.
Those are just some of my favorite games and memories,is it time for kickoff yet?
