Hey guys, LC here. I'm not a consistent FF poster, but I do enjoy posting now and then. I've really enjoyed the last year or so, and the energy of VN with anticipation for what looks to be a breakout year of the Vols. I for one can't wait to see what the future holds.
I've enjoyed the OU vs UT match-up, and VN has been entertaining in the lead up to the 2nd game. I took some time today and put together some information for you guys. OU vs UT is a historical match-up, with two of the best programs all time facing each other for only the 4th time ever. It's good to sit back and appreciate just how good these two programs are. We're all excited for what the game can be, and rightfully so.
Oklahoma, to anybody that knows college football history, demands respect.
I'm not here just to brag about Oklahoma. Simply to provide some interesting information. I have friends in Lexington that are Vol fans, and we enjoy talking about sports of all kinds. I asked about the OU matchup, and what they thought of the two programs. They commented on some of the history of the OU program and how a lot of SEC fans don't really consider OU like that. I had never done that much digging about OU, and was surprised to see some of the statistics I did. Seeing what the OU program is, it makes me appreciate the game more, and enjoy OOC games that don't get to happen much. I respect both teams immensely for scheduling difficult games. It's more than two good teams taking the field, it's pride vs pride, history vs history. UT is one of the greatest programs, playing in the nations best conference. That's no easy feat.
Hope at least a few people find it interesting to realize just how great these programs are. OU and UT is a match up you don't get to see very often.
UT is 1-2 vs OU all time. I wouldn't be shocked to see it 2-2 after the next game. I sincerly hope UT can kick some OU butt. I won't lie, I like OU, but I hope the orange make a statement on Saturday and run the Sooners out of Neyland Stadium. Good luck!

- They have the most wins since WW2.
- They can claim 43 conference titles, tied with Nebraska for the most of any team nationally.
- OU has finished the AP poll ranked over 50 times, and are able to claim 7 titles since 1950, more than any other school.
- OU has the most 10+ win seasons, the most 11+ win seasons, and the fewest losing seasons, of any team nationally.
- OU is the only program with four coaches who all have over 100 wins.
