My first true memory was beating penn state in 85. I was hugging the toilet in between plays. Great memory indeed.

Back in the day was when only one or two games a year were on TV. My first recollection was the Mildren era, don't remember Steve Owens.
Nebraska and Oklahoma made up one of the greatest college football rivalries of all time. They played every year between 1928-97, and two times every four years since then. Their games in the Big Eight decided the conference championship 16 of 19 times between 1970-88. OU leads the series 44-38-3. --The Associated Press, December 1, 2010
What amazes me is that people thinking Rocky & Teddy are back in the day also only know KSU as a good football team and the Nebraska games are ancient.
If Tommy was available for the Wishbone, he would have been Heisman,
AA, All world!..The King would have creamed his jeans with Mack in the
'Bone. Bud was such a gentleman that he would have pulled his starters
in the SECOND quarter, just so he could keep all his horses happy...the
King would have just put mustard on the second half hot dogs...ah, yeah,
"back in the day"....doncha luv it! BOOMER!...
The newer Sooner fans didn't have to suffer through the Dark 90s much. But they sure missed out on the glory days of the Wishbone! Guess the young 'uns gotta take the good with the bad...
so many memories....
my aunts and uncle going absolutely bonkers during games...that was my introduction to OU football, early 70's. Riding in the station wagon, in the very back, cold pre-thanksgiving night, headed to Medford....with my cardboard sign in the back declaring OU 43 nu 3...
my grandpa watching the games....going to the HS football field with all the relatives after the OU/nu game and playin football...
going to my first OU game against isu I believe in the mid 70's...won like 63-3, grass parking south of the stadium, I carried in the cooler with pop on top, beer underneath...1985 Orange Bowl...
Life was simple and good. I feel for the kids today..but I guess it's all perspective.
How do you know if you get there, if you don't know where you are going?..oh and I had 1,713 post on the "other board"..I hate being a rookie again!
