I was a 5 year old youngster in 1968 when my parents and I made a trip to Norman for the spring game. I was approached by an older gentleman after getting my football and shirt signed by Bob Warmack. My dad had the most shocked look on his face while I was talking to this nice man. I asked him if he enjoyed OU football as much as I he replied yes I do son I was a player long before you were thought of. Just out of kindness I asked for his autograph. When on the way home dad asked me if I got his autograph and I replied yes sir. Dad knew who it was but asked me to tell him who it was. It was none other than Jay O'Neal who was QB on the 55 56 national championship team. I still have his claude Arnold's buddy burris Jerry Tubbs leon Heath and Eddie Crowders autographs. My most treasured possessions that is in a glass frame in my den. Thought I would share this

Oklahoma lineman Bob Kalsu was killed in Vietnam. Del City, Oklahoma’s high school stadium is named after him.

I was in Vietnam when this game was played.  First time I ever saw it.  Go OU.

bob  kalsu  , Vietnam  vet  ,  killed in  action ,  bob , u are  not forgotten .  an amazing  story  .  it  should  be  on  " the  nfl network"s ,  a  football life ,  MUST SEE TV FOR ANYONE UNDER 50 YEARS OLD >

I like the commercial warning about leveraging credit cards. You sure as heck wouldn't see that today. They all want you up to your eyeballs.

Jim Simpson was an incredibly good announcer

Steve Owens....believe it or not my Grandmother helped bring him into this world, she was a midwife. Long time ago.

Watching these old games are priceless!

Great to relive the days when the band performances were actually shown at halftime rather than commercials and singing groups. The bands did great formations in those days starting form the end zone rather than just  marching on from the side and standing still for 10 minutes. I was in jr/sr high marching bands then and we did similar formations.

This is the only bowl game I ever attended! I only went because my best friend was a freshman at Oklahoma and we were in Florida for break. I have no other connection -- I'm floored that this showed up on my youtube home page!

Absolutely incredible to see a broadcast from over 50 years ago so well preserved!!!
The vintage ads, especially the Camel cigarette commercial, are icing on the cake.
I'm glad NBC had the foresight to preserve this telecast.

Stumbled on this. Great game. Old fashion football

FOR US OLD TIMERS....THANK YOU  THANK YOU :face-red-heart-shape::face-green-smiling::face-green-smiling::face-red-heart-shape:

This is one of 21 appearances for Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl, second most to USCs 25 appearances in the Rose Bowl.

This game from 68 is better video quality than games I can find from the 90s and early 2ks.

My late grand father used to tell stories about this 1968 season. He was a huge football fan  May his soul rest in peace.

Awesome marching band presentation!

Eddie Hinton caught the final touchdown pass thrown by John Unitas as a Colt, a Baltimore Colt.

Liggens, who is still alive had a nice career in the CFL. The commercials are the best part

Nowadays if the bowl isn't part of the playoff, don't expect it to be sold out like this one was. 😜
