Cheering for OU

[Pennsyhusker]

Alabama at OU today. I will be cheering for OU.
I know many on here hate OU but I don’t. As an old fart I still have a nostalgia for our old Big 8 rivals and those epic games. It was a respectful rivalry.

I'll be cheering for OU as well. I also have fond memories of "the team I love to hate", the Sooners, going back to the old Big 8. I only hated them when they played us, as they ruined a lot of Thanksgivings for me when I was young.

They won't win, but of course I'm cheering for them. I don't consider myself an old fart, but I miss many things about the days when OU was a part of my college football fandom. I've had drinks with Switzer twice. One time was A LOT of drinks. Both times, he could not have been cooler and was as complimentary of TO as it gets. I'd give just about anything to snag them from the SEC and get back into the Big 12 to put college football back in its rightful place.

I don’t hate OU but dislike them. But I also share your sentiment. I really do miss the days of the Big-8!

Now Texas is a team I hate!

Agreed! A lot of nice match ups today. Army and ND could be interesting. Indiana and Ohio State. CU at Kansas. Penn State at Minnesota. And a game I always liked to watch as a kid, UCLA vs. USC.

Is this another one of your, "I'll be damned, redwine had some inside info and knew exactly what the hell he was talking about" posts...or one of your "just throwing shit against the wall, which really isn't that big of a reach, and if it sticks, I'll be right" posts? Hard to tell with you sometimes ☺️

Can’t imagine any old school Husker fan will be cheering for Bama.

I share alot of the feelings as the OP, but Its alot easier after all the years that have passed to reflect, be nostalgic, and root for the Sooners. Back in the 70s and 80s, though, the hate ran deep. Even when the bigger villain showed up - the Hurricanes, as a Husker fan, there was still a sense of reward watching the Sooners take it in shorts against a program that did to them what they had done for years to other programs - out athlete them. There was always respect, but I suspect if there was social media back in those days we would have hated OU even more - can you imagine what characters like Bosworth would have done with a social media platform?
