General Robert R. Neyland

Quite a remarkable man as well as coach. He and the legendary Bud Wilkinson were throwbacks to an era when college football coaches exemplified true champions and built character in the young men they coached.

But, but, I thought OU won the title in 1950?

Just kidding.
Everybody and their brother crowned a national champ back then.

Ladies home and garden. Jet, Grit, Popular mechanics...

I was just reading about 1950...yep every publication seemed to crown a MNC in those days. That is why I laugh at Bama fans when they say they've won like 17 of them.

Yeah, it's a total gray area, subject to a crap load of self aggrandizing speculation.
I kind of put stock in 'NCAA recognized' national titles...using that lose criteria, OU has 16.

I'm fair about it though. We've got SEVEN and I'm good with that, for now.

Jake, I just realized how much you favor Butch Jones. Hope you have an opportunity to meet a few Sooner fans. I bet you guys will enjoy each other.

I've met a few in my time and I am a bit like that famous Oklahoman Will Rogers...never met one I didn't like.

SUC schools are famous for claiming national championships well beyond the coach's poll or the AP poll.

I believe most give them credit for 1938, 1951 and 1998. The rest are revisionist history that would make Bill Clinton blush.

SUC schools.

SUC? Hmmm. The "e" key is four keys to the left of the "u" key. Must have been intentional. You know... I think this is one of those rare occasions where Plaino is annoyed.

BTW. The Longhorns SUC. The SEC is pretty dang good.

One of the rare occasions when I'm annoyed by somebody that isn't a Longhorn.... or an unappreciative Sooner fan.

And no, the U key is manned by my most accurate finger: right index. . I get that one wrong less than any other. On the other hand, my brain might be the most recent cause of annoyance in my life, even outside this board.

Even the most intelligent of us makes mistakes and from reading your posts I have ascertained you are a most intelligent person.
