It was an impressive scene at the airport on any given day and time. But for a Sunday night at about 10 p.m., it was an unbelievable showing from Sooners fans who were waiting to welcome their new coach Brent Venables.
About an hour before he landed, Oklahoma announced the deal to make Venables the program's new football coach and gave updates while airborne that featured Venables and his family en route to their new home. All the while, a raucous group began to form only to stare at a runway in anticipation of their new coach.
