Another OU football book
Another OU football book is on the market: ”The Die-Hard Fan’s Guide to Sooner Football,” written by Jim Fletcher.
If any subject is well-covered in books, it’s Sooner football, especially general history OU football. If someone wants to do a biography on Bob Stoops or Bennie Owen, or a story of World War II veterans in college football, or a story of integration of Sooner sports, well, those are topics that haven’t been saturated.
I only scanned Fletcher’s book, but I will applaud him for this: I saw an Emory Bellard story I never had come across before. Bellard is credited with inventing the wishbone as Darrell Royal’s offensive coordinator in the 1960s. I won’t spoil the story, but it’s danged interesting.
The book is organized into some interesting elements; it has a variety of questions-and-answer interviews, and an compelling segment on the greatest overlooked Sooners of all time. It’s not the worst OU football book on the market. You might find it of value.
