I started @ UA in Fall 2002. We had a home-home with OU that year and the year before I believe. Either way, OU was a powerhouse program with a couple of recent Heisman contenders/winners (sound familiar?), and we were in the last year of the Franchione era. I think beating them was considered possible, but certainly not the most likely scenario.

Anyway, I was in the SUPE store getting my books, and Walt came charging up toward me, talking trash about how bad we were about to stomp the Sooners. He was like "42-14 Bama. Roll Tide." His confidence and overall enthusiasm cracked me up, and we talked about the upcoming game for the next 2-3 years, all the time. He was awesome.
