Hey guys, it’s your buddy here, back with another story from my internet adventures. Today, I’m gonna talk about something a bit different – the 1987 Oklahoma Sooners football team. Yeah, you heard that right, we’re going way back to the ’80s. So, let’s get into it.
First off, I started by just Googling “1987 Oklahoma Sooners.” I wanted to see what this team was all about. The search results were a goldmine of information. I saw things like “1987 Oklahoma Sooners football team,” “University of Oklahoma,” and “NCAA Football.” These were my keywords, the ones that helped me dig deeper.
Next, I started looking into the team’s roster. The information I found said, “Roster includes most starters and key reserves. Starters are marked with an asterisk ().” That was pretty cool. It gave me an idea of who the main players were. I like to know who I’m reading about, you know?
Then, I moved on to their schedule and results. I saw pages labeled “1987: Schedule, Roster, Player Stats.” That’s where the real details were. There were also links to other years, like the 2000s and 2010s, but I kept my focus on 1987. I clicked on the 1987 schedule, it was like stepping back in time. You could see all their games, who they played against, and the scores.
- Games Played: They had a bunch of games that season.
- Opponents: Faced off against some tough teams.
- Scores: Some wins, some losses, all part of the game.
After that, I dug into the player stats. I’m a numbers guy, so this part was interesting to me. I checked out who scored the most, who made the big plays, and all that good stuff. Each player had their own stats page. It was like reading their personal report cards. Pretty neat!
Then, I looked up some more general information about the team. Found out they were part of the “Big Eight Conference.” I also read that they had a good season, “11-1 Overall (#3), 7-0 in Big 8 (1st).” That’s a strong record! And their coach was Barry Switzer, a name I recognized.
I also found some interesting tidbits about the Sooners’ history. Like, they’ve got “7 national championships” – in 1950, 1955, 1956, 1974, 1975, 1985, and 2000. That’s a lot of winning! And there’s this thing called the “Oklahoma–Texas football rivalry,” which sounds pretty intense. They’ve been playing each other since 1900, with 119 games as of 2023. Crazy, right?
Lastly, I learned a bit about the Big 12 Conference. It’s got 16 members, including schools like Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Iowa State. I didn’t know much about it before, but it’s always cool to learn something new.
So, that’s my journey into the world of the 1987 Oklahoma Sooners. It was a fun little trip back in time, and I got to learn a lot about this team and their history. Hope you guys enjoyed this little story. Catch you in the next one!
