“I love the game,” Gastelum said. “I’ve loved the game since I was a kid. I used to watch Oklahoma way back in the day — Teddy Lehman days, Rocky Calmus days. I loved watching Oklahoma. I remember watching the national championship game against Florida State in my living room as a kid.
Really? This makes me feel old. Teddy and Rock, "way back in the day?" If you watched them in HD, it can't be "way back in the day."

I guess "back in the day" has different meanings for everyone.

My 'back in the day" was Granville Liggins, Bob Warmack, and Jim Weatherall.
I knew of Sooner Football before then but didn't follow them closely till then. Too young to follow Tommy McDonald.

BOY HOWDY !!!!
Well I remember Teddy Roosevelt fighting to get the forward pass legalized in football...
(...or was that a PBS special I was watching?)
My "back in the day" was Lott, King, Sims, and Overstreet. But I also remember Davis, Li'l Joe, Lee Roy and Dewey (but not Lucious) even though I wasn't quite old enough to be really into it then.
I remember when they interrupted the game because of the McKinley assassination.
Me too..
Yikes, I watched my first Sooner game on a black and white tv in 1957. That's too prehistoric to even be "back in the day".
There's Only ONE Oklahoma!
The 70's were indeed good old days. My freshman year was '74 watching Davis, Lil Joe, Lee Roy and Dewey Selmon and Rod Shoate. My last student tickets were in Billy's Heisman season. Started watching OU when they switched to the bone in '70.

People consider those 15 yrs older than them to be "old"...read that somewhere...makes sense to me.
As to the OP, this illustrates how critical it is for OU to finally win another NC...to the younger generation of the Sooner Nation, 2000 is ancient history! Or at least it's "back in the day".
Sounds like we share something in common. Remember Eddie Hinton?
Caleb Gastelum recovered the last kick-off fumble against Alabama. It was like the ultimate F-U in a great game.

he's just talking about "way back in his day", Gastelum. i don't think he's disrespecting those fried squirrel eaters on here complaining about it.
sure, the memory of everyone is all about about 20 years ago at best. or made into streaming marketing radio channels.....

1956, 6 years old, dad stationed at Tinker AFB Midwest City, first time I ever heard the word football, first time I ever heard the word Sooners, first time I ever heard the words Bud Wilkinson. I've been all over the world but there is only one, OKLAHOMA! Thank yOU dad.
Yeah, you guys are old. I remember watching the Big XII Championship game against K-State that year from under a Christmas tree. The reason, of course, was that it was past my bedtime and I didn't want my parents to know I wasn't in my room.
yer parents weren't watching that game? when did you have to bed...? 7 pm? they wouldn't let you watch that game? my parents would have had me up and all up in that. i learned Sooner from my fam.
