OU football: Former OU football player tries to beat the odds again, win 'Survivor'

Chris Hammons has been surviving all his life; challenging the odds, proving the doubters wrong.

Now he'll do it on television.

As CBS's “Survivor” kicks off its 33rd season, Millennials vs. Gen X, on Wednesday at 7 p.m., Sooner football fans can tune in to see Hammons, a captain on the 2000 national championship team compete to become the sole survivor and winner of $1 million.

“This is a lifelong dream of mine,” Hammons said. “Living on an island with strangers and not only surviving but trying to scheme and out-think all your competitors, that's what makes ‘Survivor' great.”
