How neat that Jeppesen was your stadium. I remember old AFL games broadcast from there -- Curt Gowdy and Paul Christman -- Lou Rymkus was the coach -- George Blanda was the QB. In addition to Charlie Hennegan and Charlie Tolar, I remember Billy Cannon on those teams. In fact the Oilers won the very first AFL championship, beating the (then) Los Angeles Chargers.

Oh, yeah. Blanda's really the only one I recall vividly from that time period - Billy Cannon, from later shenanigans. Yes, the AFL! Wow. That's back when I still liked pro football, ha. No more - just college and mostly just OU.
