Fine. We have already acknowledged that you have the head-to-head lead. We get it. You pwn the leather head era. Hooray for leatherheads dressed in orange.

You know what else happened before 1950? Oklahoma quarterback and defensive back Darrell K. Royal led the University of Oklahoma Sooners to a perfect 11-0 record (1949). An Oklahoma native of Hollis, Royal learned under mentor Bud Wilkenson from 46-49.

Bawwww, UT's stadium is named after a Sooner and Oklahoma native.

So, now that we've established the pre-modern era as the time when Royal was a loyal Sooner, do you have a rebuttal, liddo?

I must share with you these words for thought. I have found that one thing is true about saXet shortwhorn fusbull fans, ALL of them suffer from this rare disease called: Grandiose delusions or delusions of grandeur. Now, I looked it up and as far a I can tell, I'm no doctor mind ya, there is no cure; but I am thinking that this year we may bottle up a little bit of O and mix it with a little bit U & insert it into the beer and maybe, just maybe the orange glow and deer in the headlamps look, and worshiping of cows may start to fade? However, if not, they will just have to live with this dreadful disease, while the rest of us watch as they continue to chase after our beloved SOONERS RECORDS!

[LetErRip504225]

you'll see what's coming for ya buddy come October in Dallas.

all I hear from my whorn buddies is how good Garrett Gilbert is gonna be. Yeah, he played well against Bama, but LJ has a whole year of experience and showed his potential throughout the year.

With a full year of experience under his belt, I'll take Landry over GG.

Royal's legacy should also include that he almost* single-handedly guaranteed Oklahoma would out-recruit sa*et for homegrown players through his white-only attitude when it came to signing kids. The King parlayed this to his advantage to build some of the most awesome teams of the 70's.

*Almost because even though he was the head coach, his actions had the backing of the administration and by default, the sa*et fanbase.

[Soonerntxs]

Can someone help me out here, is that little ut qb named Gilbert Grape? If so, with LEWIS & CO. We may have wine and not beer come OCTOBER!!!!

[Mississippi Sooner]

I think their quarterback's name is Minor Applelight.

[SoonerAtKU]

The best part in any discussion with a Texas fan is KNOWING the feeling they had in their stomachs in 2000 and 2003. You can ask them to think back and remember those games. As long as Stoops and Brown are here, they'll never forget.

fine. so we can logically expect that you would freely admit that Princeton, Yale and Harvard are traditionally better football programs than UT seeing as how they ALL have many more national titles than UT. to NOT admit this, you run the risk of minimizing the accomplishments of players from the 1800's. how dare you!

[Dan Thompson]

I may be wrong on this, but did Darrell Royal play QB at OU? Didn't Mark Brown learn how to coach at OU?

The way the whorns are talkin I really think he may change his name by season opener: (drum roll, please) Saint TIM McCOY or maybe even Sir. YOUNG APPLEORANGE

Lid counts wins from back when they wore leather helmets, feared strange things like the forward pass, and players were often killed by grabbing and hurling them into the line over and over.

We count wins after our proud nation won a world war; after we integrated a previously discriminated race into our wonderful university and football team, and after the game had matured enough so that rule disputes weren't settled in the paved area behind the stadium with "fisticuffs".

Of course he admits that, sooner518! There's no way Lid would ever contradict himself!

[Mississippi Sooner]

Fisticuffs.

Herein lies the difference between a Texas alum and an Ou fan.

We don't disparage DKR for his roots or where he played.

Unlike Ou fans who cannot admit that Texas players have had a deep and meaningful impact on their program and without such players, Ou would not have the championships it has, we have embraced DKR, are happy he got over his unfortunate upbringing and decided to cherish a much better, happier life.

And, ironically, those posters who trumpet that DKR was a racist, racism more often than not, has its foundation during a person's formulative years, in DKR's case, while he was in Oklahoma. If DKR was a racist, it would have to have been fostered and grown as a result of his Oklahoma environment.

Of course, DKR coached black players at both UDub and with the Edmonton team in the CFL, that UT lifted its ban on black athletes playing varsity sports in 1963, that DKR offered Don Baylor a scholarship before 1969, but he chose to play pro baseball instead. Oh. .and of course, there was another black athlete who walked on to the team in 1968 but was an academic casualty (E. A. Curry). . . then there was Leon O'Neal, who was DKR's first black scholarship athlete the same year.

Rosey Leaks in 1971 and Earl in 1974 have never mentioned, let alone implied, that DKR was a racist.

But again.. don't let the facts get in the way of some good, ole fashioned, aggy-like group think.

[NormanPride]

Who in this thread called DKR a racist? Noobs don't count.

[ddub0224]

How many whorn alumni have been arrested this offseason?

Lid, we have tons of alumni living and working in the state of Texas and we don't detract the fact that we have had many quality players do the opposite of what Darrell K. Royal did - leave the state of Texas for OU. These players from the state of Texas got over their unfortunate upbringing and decided to cherish a much better, happier life at the University of Oklahoma.

The problem starts when UT, aTm et al try to take ownership of said recruits just because their universities happen to reside in the same state that these players are from.

By your same DKR logic, it's not about a player's roots or where he played in high school.

The problem starts when you try to claim these HS athletes as your own. They're not. They don't belong to UT.

DKR, on the other hand, played at OU, and we just happened to be talking about college football, so we are talking about the college football team, as opposed to the high school football team that he played on. See the difference?

Of course not. We have this argument every year and you've been no different in year's past

Actually, you are wrong once again, Lid. OU fans do not disparage the Texas roots of many of our players. We have embraced the likes of Billy Sims, Derrick Strait, etc. We, too, are glad that they got over their unfortunate upbringings and came to the realization that Oklahoma was the place to go if they wanted to win football championships.

It is the fact that * fans who will acknowledge that it was a Sooner who turned tu football into a powerhouse are few and far between that gets on my nerves. That combined with the fact that * fans also refuse to admit that there have been numerous native Oklahomans who have contributed to the success of the Sooner program. Fans of the puke orange seem to ignore the fact that all but one of our Heisman winners were native Oklahomans. All of them want to talk about players from the state of texas on our roster, but won't even answer when questioned about DKR's Oklahoma roots. I have even run across many * fans who don't even know that DKR was a Sooner All-American and a native Oklahoman.

As to the racism - you are right. Racism was rampant in Oklahoma AND texas during this time period. But you seem to be indicating that DKR's racism came from his Oklahoma roots and that texas fans were not guilty of this idiocy. Far from the truth. Check out the things done to Ernie Banks when he played against * in the Cotton Bowl.

Oklahoma University did break the color barrier in our athletic programs before * did. That fact cannot be disputed.
