In OU history...

Today is the day in 1964 that Charles Burnham "Bud" Wilkinson, at age 47, resigned his position as head football coach of the Sooners to run (unsuccessfully) for the U.S. Senate.

Good read, but really too long to paste:

With Wilkinson playing guard and quarterback, the Gophers won three national titles. In the summer of 1937, he was quarterback on the College All-Star team that beat the NFL champion Green Bay Packers 6-0.


I did not know this. That's cool.

I could follow in the footsteps of Bud and resign my position for an unsuccessful run at Congress! Wow!
