Oh, yeah, WF. Also, the OU QB who is my age was from Abilene Cooper (Mildren). Bet you remember the Oil Bowl games? JC was around your time.

Oh my, I just saw a friend's name on one of the OK teams from back then and I never knew he had played FB! He was a QB for an OK team in the Oil Bowl. How neat.

Well, you were certainly in the trenches and I know that any one of those N TX HS teams could've played OU and scored on them. Like our Red-White game in the spring when the old-timers play!

I saw a lot of great players at the Oil Bowl play back then. The Oil Bowl is not the game it used to be and doesn't have the notoriety it did in the 60's and 70's.

Tonight's' game was a corker...loved to see the SEC/Florida come out on top. Next to the SEC I love to see the old members of the SWC do well as well as Oklahoma. When it comes to Texas versus Oklahoma...well I am with Oklahoma. I went on to Tennessee and after a ten year stint in the USAF & graduated from U of Tenn.

Good Luck Next Year!! Congratulations Florida!!Goodnight...
