Am I the only one who’s tired of other schools stealing our traditions and then claiming that it’s an original at its school?
Three traditions OU should have copyrighted.
One: Clemson is the latest school to steal an OU tradition and then have the nerve to say it’s an original idea.

Two: “Play like a Champion today” – Notre Dame has is done it’s very best to steal it. If ND wants to use it fine, just don’t claim it as a Notre Dame original. Come on Mr. Holtz you know where it came from. Be honest and own up to it.
Three: The Four fingers up starting the fourth Quarter. Damn near every school in the country does this today but it first appeared during the 1979 OU / Nebraska game. If anyone could find the Barry Switzer TV show with the great Howard Newman the following week Switzer talks about it in detail.
I for one don’t mind if another school uses our traditions JUST DON’T claim it as original property.
A couple of other things I think we could claim but I can’t prove it.
The no huddle fast pace offense. Another Bud Wilkenson idea. Somewhere is documentation that states that in the 1953 Orange bowl OU was blocking the Maryland defensive players while they were still in its defensive huddle. – cool.
Somebody can correct me on this, but didn’t Bob actually reintroduced the fast past no huddle offense at the college level back in 2008? Of course he doesn’t get any credit for this.
The split T formation was first introduced by Bud.
Any others?
