OU football: Halloween plan, dress like a coach


Posted October 28, 2010 by Berry Tramel Comment on this article Leave a comment

OU is encouraging fans coming to the Colorado game Saturday to dress as their favorite Sooner football coach. Now that’s a great Halloween idea. It’s not as cool as the band playing in full Halloween costumes — a tradition that died when some musicians offended sensibilities – but still should be fun.

All kinds of options exist:

* Bud Wilkinson fedoras.

* Howard Schnellenberger pipes.

* Barry Switzer polyester red pants. This is my favorite. I would love to see Bob Stoops and staff decked out some game in red polyester pants.

* Stoops visor.

* Bennie Owen one-armed overcoat.

The Sooner athletic staff will scan the crowd to find the four best-dressed and most easily recognized head coach costumes.  During the third quarter, the four winners will be brought onto Owen Field and each awarded a $100 MidFirst Bank gift card.
