Life is starting to turn back to normal in Oklahoma with restrictions being completely lifted now. Hopefully this delta strain will not ruin all the fun in the upcoming months.
College Football
There is nothing bigger in Oklahoma that Sooners and Cowboy football games. Majestic stadiums and football teams with legitimate title aspirations make home games the big ticket in the fall.
Life is starting to turn back to normal in Oklahoma with restrictions being completely lifted now. Hopefully this delta strain will not ruin all the fun in the upcoming months.
rolled back in the Sooner state, events and tourist attractions are also starting to open up for the locals and tourists alike. Most traditional events should be on the schedule for fall, and some events such as the Redbud Classic have been moved to the fall for 2021.
There has been a seismic shift in College football since the Sooners and Longhorns announced their departure from the Big XII for the SEC. Hopeful bedlam will be kept in tack. The Sooners look loaded for the 2021 season and are ranked as high as #2. The Cowboys have not cracked most preseason top 25 polls after a fast start and slow finish to the 2020 season, but they have enough talent and a returning QB to maybe have a decent season. The Sooners have a fun opening road game in New Orleans, and the Nebraska Cornhuskers come to Norman for the first time in many years. The Cowboys host bedlam and make a trip to Austin
