Yeah I prefer the Sooners in their classic, traditional unis, but these at least looked like OU uniforms. ISU... yeesh, those were ugly. Oh, congrats on your 134th consecutive B12 championship, by the way.
Thanks, but it wasn't
that many in a row.
However, I'm pretty sure it would seem like that to Sooner fans if Texas had won 6 straight.
So, they aired a graphic during the game that OU and Clemson were each working on their 6th straight.
Earlier, longer streaks they mentioned were BYU, with 7 straight WAC championships, and Bud Wilkinson's Sooners, with 12 straight from '48 through '59, including every Big 7 championship and the first 2 of the Big 8.
They weren't counting ties, or the Fairbanks-Switzer Sooners of 1972-80 would have 9 straight, and the Jim Tatum-Bud Wilkinson Sooners would have 14 straight.
About ISU--their normal unis--since they abandoned the "Screaming Yellow Zonkers" color palette--look good in a USC way. I don't know why they want to wear all-black.
I can only think that it's an attempt to look intimidating. Usually it's an underdog team that does that. ISU, TCU, Northwestern come to mind. Maybe Duke? Texas Tech?
All ugly.
