Toby never missed an opportunity to show his appreciation for the men and women serving our country. Today, we honor all who have served. Happy Veterans Day.

All Day 🐐

26 years ago today, Torrance Marshall made one of the biggest plays in OU football history. With the Sooners trailing Texas A&M in the fourth quarter, Marshall picked off a pass and returned it for a touchdown, helping OU escape College Station with a 35-31 win. 87,188 fans were at Kyle Field that day, the largest crowd to ever watch a football game in the state of Texas at the time. OU went on to win the National Championship.

23 years ago today: OU handed Texas A&M it’s biggest defeat in program history with a 77-0 win. Total yards: OU 639 A&M 54 First downs: OU 33 A&M 3 Rushing yards: OU 342 A&M 22 Passing yards: OU 297 A&M 32 The score was 77-0 at the end of the third quarter.

9 years ago today: Baker Mayfield set the OU record for most passing yards in a game with 598 on just 24 completions. Hollywood Brown set the OU record with 265 yards receiving on 9 receptions. OU used the historic offensive day to beat Oklahoma State in Bedlam, 62-52.

THE PEOPLE’S TIGHT END 💪 Our honorary captain this Saturday is @gkittle46!

130 years ago today: OU football won its first game in program history with a 12-0 win over Norman High School in Oklahoma City. OU had no coach that season, as former head coach John Harts left to go prospecting for gold in the Arctic.

Just another reminder…PEYTON BOWEN FOR THE JIM THORPE AWARD. Bowen was named one of the 15 semi-finalists for the award this afternoon.

26 years ago today: OU beat No. 1 Nebraska in arguably the loudest game ever played at Owen Field. The Sooners rallied from a 14-0 deficit to win 31-14 and the win ended a Red October run of wins over No. 11 Texas, No. 2 Kansas State and No. 1 Nebraska. 75,989 fans witnessed a game that will forever be part of OU football history. Oranges flying onto the field, fans tearing down the goalposts and a celebration that was years in the making. Two months later, OU was celebrating its seventh national championship.

23 years ago today: Mark Clayton called game in Boulder. With No. 1 OU leading Colorado by a touchdown, Clayton scored from 60 yards out to put the game away. In a career filled with highlights, Clayton’s score in Boulder is one of his most memorable.

27 years ago today: The first signature win of the Bob Stoops era. OU dominated No. 13 Texas A&M in Norman with a 51-6 beat down of the Aggies. Coach Stoops still cites the importance of this game and calls it one of the biggest wins during the early era of his tenure.

Among the nation’s best 🏆 Coach Ferentz has been named to the @bryantawards National Coach of the Year Watch List.

Former Sooner pitcher @LjMercurius delivers a powerful statement to recruits about his former skipper, Skip Johnson! ⚾️

To all the recruits This man not only develops ball players but he is an amazing father figure, Leader, and coach. He taught me how to be a professional, a man, and one day a father figure. NIL is cool but people like THIS DONT COME AROUND TO OFTEN WHO CARE ABOUT YOU AS A PERSON!

The top-graded pass blocker in football is 38 years old. Trent Williams didn't miss a single camp practice this year. Williams even gave his younger teammates grief when they missed practices due to minor injuries while he was out there every day. #71 seems to be on a mission

Trent Williams: "The front office did their job. I'm super happy with what they did in the draft." It appears that John Lynch and Co. knocked the 2026 draft out of the park. Beyond that, 2024 and 2025 picks are shining, too. So much for the discourse!

Trent Williams, have mercy 😤
