Oklahoma Sooners Football History
The Oklahoma Sooners football team has a tradition of excellence that predates Oklahoma's statehood, with the first game being played in 1895. Under head coach Bud Wilkinson, the Sooners won their first three national championships in 1950, 1955 and 1956 and put together a 47-game winning streak that began in 1953 and ended in 1957. That record still stands to this day. Barry Switzer coached the Sooners to glory in the ’70s and ’80s, winning national titles in 1974, 1975 and 1985, while Bob Stoops led Oklahoma to an Orange Bowl victory and a national title in 2000. Seven players have won the Heisman Trophy while playing for the Sooners: Billy Vessels in 1952, Steve Owens in 1969, Billy Sims in 1978, Jason White in 2003, Sam Bradford in 2008, Baker Mayfield in 2017 and Kyler Murray in 2018.
Oklahoma has two main rivals in the Big 12 Conference, Oklahoma State and Texas. The "Bedlam" series against the Oklahoma State Cowboys dates back to 1904, when Oklahoma first faced what was known until 1957 as Oklahoma A&M. The annual "Red River Showdown" with the Texas Longhorns is played every October at Dallas' Cotton Bowl as part of the State Fair of Texas. In 2018, Oklahoma and Texas played each other for the first time in the Big 12 Championship Game, with the Sooners defeating the Longhorns, 39-27, to give Oklahoma their record 48th conference championship.
The Sooners are now coached by Brent Venables, who builds upon previous coach Lincoln Riley's success of leading the Sooners to Big 12 championships and College Football Playoff appearances in each of his first two seasons. Oklahoma joins the Southeastern Conference in the summer of 2024.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Bowl Atmosphere
by Fivestar16 on 9/6/16NRG Stadium - HoustonI could not have had more excitement in anticipation of this game. ever since Houston knocked off Florida St. last year and Stoops and Oklahoma were announced as the opponent, the discussions about could Houston be really good enough to handle an old vaulted program with the reputation OU has created. Well evidently so as the Cougars showed them their tails much of the day and the new coach on the block id his amazing job preparing the Cougars for a fight. The game was just as exciting as the hype and the home town boys made a name for themselves. Enjoy this one but remember, you are only as good as your last game. Let them in the Big 12, they deserve it!!!!!!

by KdB4 on 9/6/16NRG Stadium - HoustonWe had a great time at the game. Hightly recommend taking the Metro Rail from Midtown to the stadium. The tailgating was great. The atmosphere was awesome! The seating area was tight. If UH plays at NRG again, I will look into other seats. The view from our section was great.

Rating: 3 out of 5 Advocate Bowl
by DeeGKaty on 9/6/16NRG Stadium - HoustonWith the roof closed, the acoustics were horrible and the noise level was almost intolerable. The announcer was incomprehensible and the bands at halftime were inaudible. Just a cacophony of noise. On the plus side, the seats were good, fans surrounding us were friendly and the overall facility is very nice.
