    Two stories about Mildren's senior year in high school:

    1. Barry Switzer (at the time OU's top assistant) actually rented a house in Abilene so he could recruit Mildren full-time.

    2. At the end of Cooper's state championship game against Austin Reagan, the Cougars could've won with a field goal, but Mildren waved the FG unit off the field so he could win it with a TD. Of course, he was stopped.
     
  2. Nebraska and Colorado play the day after Thanksgiving every year.

    True, but for this midwestern guy, I'll do anything to have Nebraska and Oklahoma face off again on the Friday after Turkey Day.

    Ole Miss and Miss. State plays either on Turkey Day night, the day after, or the Saturday after. Arizona State and Arizona traditionally square off on the Friday after, and Alabama St. and Tuskegee (?) duke it out (literally) on Thanksgiving Day. They had a hell of an on-field brawl a few years back.

    If you were lucky enough to see that game, from then on Thanksgiving football was spoiled because the bar was set so high.
