GOOD MORNING!
During my time attending the University of Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Sooners claimed a perfect 5-0 record in the Red River Shootout (or Rivalry or Showdown or whatever it’s called this year) against the Texas Longhorns. It was the time of a young Bob Stoops enjoying his golden years of coaching. It was also an ancient time in which brother Michael fielded one of the most dominant defenses in the land.
Ah, those were the days.
As I was reminiscing with one of my old college roommates earlier this week, we knew at the time we were lucky to be witnessing such greatness — especially after growing up suffering through the Howard Schnellenberger/John Blake years of OU football — and that things wouldn’t go that way forever.
