There was plenty of disgust to be had with the KU contingent if you lived in north Oklahoma County. Lots of anti-OU front-runners had a field day after the Mistake of '88.
But mine happened in Albuquerque, roughly 15 years ago. I was at a pharmacy, minding my own business, when a much-younger guy who resembled ex-OSU star Matt Clark, but was wearing a KU sweatshirt, started going off on me about my OU coat. I politely told him I was an Oklahoma native, and he still persisted with the nonsense that I should have become a Kansas fan.
I then calmly told him that I was not only an alum but also from southern Oklahoma. Ardmore is not KU country, and never will be.
Never figured why that guy thought it was okay to pick a verbal spat with a total (and much older) stranger over a basketball team. And back in my student days, their fan base always claimed some sort of moral superiority over OU and everyone else in the old Big 8.
