If you look quickly before they change the page, you can see the BG ticket for the BG/OU game pictured on ESPN's front page for college football as part of the behind OU football feature.

Did a screen capture and grabbed the image, too!

Thanks for the heads up!

If you click on the linke "Norman to host a big party" or something like that, it is an article that discusses some of the behind the scenes stuff that goes on. A line I thought was cool was . . .

"Thjey make sure the band knows the BOwling Green fight song as the Falcons band cannot make the trip"

Something I saw done at Navy in 91 that I thought was very cool.

as the Falcons band cannot make the trip

I know the reason(s) for this, but it always makes me sad.

this thought struck my after looking at the ticket: Why is it "OU" for the "University of Oklahoma"? I posed this question to the Sooner faithful at: http://www.soonerfans.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19136

I was in Lawrence, KS for a workshop about a week ago. Every calls it KU, but they also refer to it as The University of Kansas. Maybe it's a Plains State thing.

I think that is correct. If you look at a lot of the Big 12 schools, that do it backwards: OU, MU, NU, KU, CU. I think they made a pact when they formed the Big 8.

'87 did you make it to the Free State Brewery for dinner or some good micro brew?? I have a t -shirt from there that has a falcon on the front and a quote on the back from a Kansas priest circa 1800s "because without beer, things do not seem to go as well"

I love Lawrence.

Yeah, the band as a whole isn't going, but there's a good chunk of us making the roadtrip starting tomorrow!!!!!! Jeff

We've always said OU. It's intrinsic to our nature. You might as well ask us why we find it necessary to debate the issue of nug control.
