Sitting here rewatching the Baylor game, noticing the usual types of decked-out characters in OU-themed gear.
Memories of good ol' Cecil popped up, with images of his red, Sooner-detailed Model T, red blazer and felt hat, front teeth engraved with a red O and U, and all the other trimmings. If you younguns don't know of this character, please look him up.
I looked him up for nostalgia's sake, and found that he had the first personalized license plate in the state of Oklahoma: BIG RED, of course. The article from The Oklahoman noted that the family decided against his wish to have his index finger propped up in the Number One position for the funeral. Now THAT is a fan!
Loved that guy.
