In 1971, Tulsa trailed 20-0 going into the 4th quarter, and came back to win 21-20 in a game I followed on the radio. I can still remember next day's headline in the Tulsa World: "BURNT BACON IN FAYETTEVILLE!" That was the happiest memory I have of a college football outcome to that point in my life.

I remember that game well.  IIRC Arkansas was ranked in the top 5 going into the game but fell to #9 after and finished unranked.  I was working in Ft. Smith and had to listen to all the Hog fan nonsense.  I remember walking into work on Monday with a big grin on my face and my coworkers shouting in unison "DON'T SAY IT!"  Happy times indeed.

1971 was a very good season

Yep.
Not quite as good a season for the Sooners, but still great.
We may have been on the short end of 35-31, but we were on the long end of 48-27 in Dallas.
Sort of the opposite of 1967. Sooners missed 3 makeable FGs and lost 9-7 in Dallas but beat the Huskers 21-14 in Norman.

The plastic hog-helmet is even "better"--meaning "more unspeakable."

I wonder where Mike Leach would have placed a feral pig in his ferocity-rankings of Pac-12 mascots.

Yeah, it was really well-done. It's still funny all these decades later, in a way that its semi-spinoffs like Maude and Sanford and Son are not.
But one line from the song bugged me.
Mister, we could use a man like Herbert Hoover again.
Maybe Archie's old La Salle ran great, but he did not vote for Herbert Hoover.
He surely voted for Nixon in '68 and '72, but in 1932, he just as surely voted for FDR.
He might not have voted for Al Smith in 1928 (if he was old enough to vote), because Al Smith was a Catholic. He would have had to choose his poison--vote for a Catholic, vote for a Republican, or just abstain from the two horrible choices.

Heh! I just realized that the video clip had the "complete version" of the theme song. Some lines I never heard before were in there.

I'd guess they put Hoover in that line just to mess with you

Maybe he didn’t vote for Hoover, but like him anyways. Or maybe he didn’t like him 30-40 years ago, but has grown to like him over time.
