This is actually correct. OU could have chosen to play at night on Saturday. But it’s my understanding that with a quick turnaround playing Michigan at 11 a.m. CT the next week and with the Oklahoma heat in Sept (even at night), it preferred to just play at night on Friday.

Bode Sparrow (No. 59 overall prospect nationally) is the #Sooners’ highest-ranked safety commit since Peyton Bowen back in the 2023 class. It wouldn’t shock me if he’s flirting with five-star status by the end of the cycle. He is an incredible all-around football player.

My dad has lived in Omaha almost his entire life. He was a sophomore at OU, and there in the Rosenblatt bleachers, when the #Sooners won the CWS in 1994. 32 years later, he got to watch the title drought end tonight alongside me (OU grad), my mom (OU grad), and my youngest sister (current OU student, big cotton candy gal). His favorite pair of sunglasses flew off his head after Kyle Branch’s insult-to-injury homer, and an increasingly miserable UNC fan sitting behind us stomped on them and crushed them. Other than that, though, I think he probably enjoyed the night as much as anybody. Long time coming.
