When I was a freshman at Oklahoma in 1946, the game was sold out - and it's been sold out ever since.
Though I graduated from Vanderbilt, I was born into a family of crazed University of Oklahoma football fans and became one.
When I was at Oklahoma, I didn't think it could get any bigger than that.
I have this routine where on Fridays I sign balls that need to be autographed. One time, after my fortieth or fiftieth ball, I looked over at my secretary and said, 'Who is Bob Stoops, anyway?'
Playing in a city like Norman, where it's all about Oklahoma football. A no-brainer for me.
I will always root for the Sooners.
Boomer Sooner!
I'm thankful that my career at Oklahoma was marked with consistent leadership in president David Boren and director of athletics Joe Castiglione.
