Why the Tennessee game means so much to me

by

The first televised Oklahoma football game I ever paid attention to was the last time the Sooners played Tennessee.

It was January 1, 1968, when Oklahoma played No. 2 Tennessee in the Orange Bowl.

That game marked the conclusion of a Cinderella 1967 season for the Sooners. It also was my first “official” season as a rabid Sooner football fan.

The game which allowed Oklahoma to play Tennessee was the Big 8 clash with the Kansas Jayhawks in Norman on November 18, 1967. It was the first OU football game I remember attending in person. A cold front had come through days before that was so chilling that I gave up at halftime of our Velma-Alma high school playoff game the night before for the warm confines of home.

Dave: Bring on the SEC, but worry meter jumps

To me the win against Tulsa was very impressive. That could have been a huge trap game. On the road against a big underdog. Bad weather. The game before the big bad SEC comes to Norman.

OU could have really struggled to get up for that game. But they took to the field in a business like manner and they, well…took care of business.

The offense didn’t miss a beat scoring touchdowns on three of their first four possessions. And the defense continued to dominate in all phases and limited Tulsa to 7 points and just over 300 yards of offense. Most of it in garbage time.

Trevor continues to improve with every game and the Belldozer got the first touchdown reception of his career to become one of just a handful of Sooners who have passed for, rushed for and caught a touchdown. It was just a very impressive performance, as it was supposed to be.

And now, as I stated earlier, the big bad SEC rolls into Norman in the form of the Tennessee Volunteers.

I can’t begin to tell you how sick I am of this whole Stoops vs the SEC that has been so overblown by the media. All he ever did was give his opinion about the way the media has spun the supposed dominance of the SEC.
