NORMAN — Tinker Owens hadn't thought too much about the package he'd sent off over a decade ago.
Owens, Oklahoma's All-American receiver in 1974 and '75, was just trying to do a nice thing for a couple of young Sooners fans when he sent off a package to the Austin, Texas, area in 2005.
The mailing included an autographed football and photos of both Owens and his brother, Steve, another Oklahoma legend.
“It was pretty impressive that he'd do that for a couple of young OU fans who knew what Tinker and Steve meant to OU football,” the father of the boys said.
