Bob Stoops regrets calling out his own fans before the 2008 OU-Texas Tech game. Even though it worked.

Tech plays at Owen Field on Saturday, any OU-Tech game conjures memories of 2008, when the Red Raiders came to Norman ranked second nationally and left with a 65-21 loss to the fifth-ranked Sooners.

OU’s crowd that night was louder than it’s ever been, with fans participating in the jumparound song all game long.
