Kelvin on horns down

[red recluse]

These are all true.

It was Kelvin's 2nd or 3rd year in Norman. Tom Penders was the coach at Texas. The crowd was rowdy with the usual Texas Sucks chants and was picking on Muoneke, who I believe was a Freshman. Officiating was horrible- imagine that- and if I remember, PA may have already addressed the crowd. Well, the ref slipped, falls on his arse, and the crowd laughs, goes wild, and cheered. Kelvin came over to the PA mic, grabbed it, and talked about OU fans being class and cheering with class. Yes, it was the ref falling and the crowd cheering that spurred the action. But then, before he put down the mic, said, "And quit saying Texas sucks". May not have been his exact words, but definitely remember it. Want to say Penders came over and said thanks and shook his hand.

Thought to myself, "did he get on OU fans for hating Texas?!?" And I believe there were some fans who held those kinds of "better than" arrogant moments against him.

Ironic he now said something a little differently, but he has changed and evolved as a coach.

great stuff. thanks. i thought it was barnes who was coaching. to have a memory like you or sooner04…

Perfect description of events of that night Mj and I thought of this immediately when I saw Kelvin's quotes this week. I loved Kelvin as our coach but he took a lot of flack from OU fans for saying this. No coach is going to be able to tell Sooner fans not to say Texas sucks, even though i wish we wouldn't as well. With that being said, Texas' coach is making a fool of himself over the last week. Let's let him hear it tonight!!!!

Can't wait, just wish it wasn't a 6 o clock game.
