I figured that we would be infested by now. I thought they would be flocking here to tell us how they were going to prove a point that the SEC ain't all that. Anyway have the networks made a decision as to when the game will start and which network yet?
It looks like the weather will be fantastic. Usually, these early Sept. games on the south plains can be brutally hot. We opened with North Carolina early in Stoops' career here and it was 106 @ the 6:00pm kick.
The Alabama game a few years ago was a day game & it was extremely hot.
I think OU fans are extremely excited about this game but more for the fact that Tennessee is a legacy program with a lot of great history that has never appeared on Owen Field. There will be those who will want to make this out to be an SEC thing but generally, we get hyped when top drawer programs visit Norman.
The only thing that I expect will be a disappointment will be The Pride of Oklahoma. Our band has won the Sudler Cup. Our pre-game has been voted #3 in the nation behind Michigan & TOSU but two years ago, we hired a new band director and his hiring was a purely political move backed by a prominent school booster. In now his 2nd season directing The Pride, he has succeeded turning our band into the equivalent of a decent H.S. band.
I join all Sooners in welcoming you to the south plains. I am looking forward to Knoxville in 2015.
Games 7pm Central and kickoff is at 7:14 according to OU's official Twitter. As for everything else you posted, you're 100% correct. Our band sucks.
As for the weather, highs that day are supposed to be lower 70's with a light wind and sunshine. Lows will be 57 degrees.
As for the OP on networks, figured you knew already but it's on ABC. It's the national game of the week.
We've had quite a few who have registered. Some have already provided good information on the Sooners and the game day experience in Norman.
One was banned after a lame wife/sister quip. If you're going to join an opponents message board, just to be an ass, at least bring some good material.
