BEAT YOU AND DON’T LET LET THAT GUY JUST TAKE OVER. YEAH AND THE X’S AND O’S OBVIOUSLY SUPER IMPORTANT. BUT THEN THERE’S ALSO THAT WILL FACTOR, THAT HEART FACTOR THAT ONLY COMES IN HUGE GAMES LIKE THIS. YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT TWO TEAMS THAT REALLY WANT TO GET AFTER IT. A LOT OF OKLAHOMA BORN PLAYERS IN THIS HUGE MATCHUP. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR THEM, THEIR FAMILIES, THEIR THEIR LEGACIES? THE PEOPLE THAT PLAYED BEFORE THEM AND THEIR FAMILIES? THERE’S ALL KINDS OF STORYLINE LINES. SO THAT’S JUST ONE OF THE REASONS WHY THIS GAME JUST MEANS MORE ROLL THE PACKAGE. IF YOUR PARENTS WENT TO OR GREW UP AS FANS OF OKLAHOMA AND OR OKLAHOMA STATE, THEN CONGRATULATIONS. YOU WERE BORN INTO BEDLAM. DEPENDING ON WHO WENT WHERE, YOU MIGHT HAVE HAD A CHOICE ON WHICH TEAM YOU WANTED TO ROOT FOR. BUT IF YOUR DAD JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE ONE OF THE GREATEST HEAD COACHES IN OU FOOTBALL HISTORY, THEN THE CHOICE WAS MADE LONG BEFORE YOU ARRIVED. GROWING UP WATCHING IT, I MEAN, IT’S DEFINITELY A BIG DEAL. AND I KNOW THE MAGNITUDE OF IT FOR SUMNER WIDE RECEIVER DRAKE, STOOPS SON OF BIG GAME, BOB STOOPS. STOOPS HIS HAIR GOT HIM TOUCHDOWN OKLAHOMA THIS WILL BE HIS THIRD AND FINAL TIME PLAYING AGAINST THE COWBOYS AFTER YEARS OF LOOKING UP AT DAD AND WANTING TO BE IN THE GAME. YEAH, I THINK IT’S JUST A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE FROM WATCHING IT AS A KID AND NOT REALLY. I MEAN, OF COURSE WANTING YOU TO WIN BECAUSE MY DAD WAS A COACH, BUT NOW, LIKE BEING IN IT, REALLY HAVING LIKE SOME SKIN IN THE GAME, LIKE PLAYING FOR OKLAHOMA, IT’S DEFINITELY A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON IT. SO OBVIOUSLY THE STOOPS HOUSEHOLD IS A SOONER HOUSEHOLD, BUT FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE STATE OF OKLAHOMA, IT’S A LITTLE MORE COMPLICATED. AND MY DAD’S SIDE WAS ALWAYS AN OU FAN, AND THEN MY MOM’S SIDE, MY GRANDPA WAS AN ALUM, MY GREAT GRANDPA WAS AN ALUM, MY UNCLE’S AN ALUM, MY AUNT’S AN ALUM. SO LIKE IT’S ALWAYS BEEN A HOUSE DIVIDED TYPE DEAL. SO JUST GROWING UP WATCHING IT, I JUST WANT TO BE A PART OF IT. AND IT’S JUST I’M JUST THANKFUL TO BE HERE AND BE A PART OF IT. BUT NO MATTER WHICH TEAM YOU ROOT FOR WHEN IT COMES TO BEDLAM, THERE’S ONE THING WE CAN ALL AGREE ON. IF YOU’RE FROM OKLAHOMA, THIS GAME IS PERSONAL. LIKE I GREW UP IN THIS RIVALRY, SO LIKE, IT MEANS A LOT MORE TO ME RATHER THAN SOMEONE WHO’S COMING FROM ANOTHER SCHOOL WHO LIKE IT’S THEIR FIRST YEAR IN THE PROGRAM AND STUFF. SO IT’S LIKE THE FEELINGS MIGHT NOT BE THE SAME, BUT LIKE JUST TEAM WISE, I FEEL LIKE YOU JUST TELL THEM LIKE, LOOK, THIS IS ONE OF THOSE GAMES THAT YOU JUST GO OUT THERE AND YOU JUST PLAY WITH A TON OF JUST ENERGY. I MEAN, ONCE YOU FEEL THAT ENERGY AND ALL THAT STUFF, LIKE IT’S IT'
