Such an amazing time. Billy Graham gives the invocation, mentions God and ends it "in the Name of Our Savior, Jesus Christ." This couldn't happen today.
Both schools' bands play the National Anthem together on the field. this wouldn't happen today.
Game delayed waiting on President Nixon's arrival.
Bud Wilkinson teaching the nation this new fangled Wishbone offense.
Life was so simple as a seven year old football junkie.

A great game. I remember watching James Street weaving in and out of the Arkie defense for the winning TD....but Bud was not coaching OU at the time.

some things don't change, just before the 2 minute mark it lists the Top 10

1) Texas 2)Arkansas 3) Penn State 4) Ohio State 5) USC
6) Missouri 7) Michigan 8) Notre Dame 9) LSU 10) Tennessee

50 years later only one school had a losing record

You also left out the most obvious and biggest difference in college football then vs now.

UT was an all white team, the last all white team to win a national title.

I remember them panning the stands with all the political dignitaries there,then they pan down and lo and behold,there's Colonel Sanders.

I knew we had arrived.

Arky didn’t have lights in Fayetteville then.

Back in the 90s, when you could waltz right in, I took a piss in the general spot where Randy Peschel caught the big fourth down pass.
