Don't have much to add to the "impressions of Oklahoma thread," except this:
One of my frosh dormmates was from Tulsa and we made a roadtrip to his hometown (via Houston) over spring break 1981, spending the better part of a week in a pickup truck with a top on the bed. This alone should shatter any and all stereotypes about Stanford students being bright.
Anyway, was impressed with the friendly folks in Tulsa (at Sun Bowl had mostly positive interaction with OU fans - I just wish we had Andrew Luck playing in that one).Â
That Tulsa dormmate from freshman year now lives with his family in Austin (and is avowedly anti-Longhorns). And one other thing: our families are meeting up in Scottsdale for the Fiesta Bowl (along with a couple other guys from that roadie in 1981!!). That's the best part of college: meeting friends for life.
