TEXAS MASSACRE *(First Half Highlights) Oklahoma vs. Texas 2000 

The coaching staff for OU that season was legendary. In addition to Bob Stoops and his brother Mike, they had Brent Venables, Mark Mangino, Steve Spurrier Jr., Cale Gundy, Jonathan Hayes, Jackie Shipp, and Bobby Jack Wright. Those guys took a very young and unranked team to a perfect season and national championship in 2000.

I was 8. In awe. Still my favorite receiving corps ever. Savage, Norman, Woolfolk, Mackey, Fagan, T. Smith and even Peoples. Heupel had it good, but he was on point the whole year.

Jesus this team was so good. Back when Stoops was really Big Game Bob.

I remember this game vividly. I was stationed at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. I was in my barracks room watching this game in absolute shock! OU pummelled UT!

"A first half they'll be talking about in Norman for decades to come..."

This is the game that let everyone know WE WERE BACK!! I remember this like it was yesterday. I was 16 years old

@8:00: "...and the eyes of Texas have been blackened at the Cotton Bowl today."...BEST CALL EVER!

I was at the game. I asked my great uncle "what are our chance". His response better than average. Then this happened.

J.H. gonna be an even better coach! Go Vols!

63-15, 65-13, 55-17, 63-21. I love all my blowouts equally. The golden age.

Hard to believe it’s been 20 years since this game happened. And it’s always good to see Texas get crushed.

And just as the Longhorns were stumbling along the ropes Rocky delivers one right between the eyes!

The eyes of Texas have been blackened today!🙈😂👍

How beautifully poetic that OU signals its return to the elite of college football by kicking the living shit out of the Horns. That's the stuff dreams are made of---or nightmares in Texas' case.

That's our coach! GB🍊

As this game progressed, it almost seemed surreal to Sooner fans at the Cotton Bowl that day. Texas had pretty much dominated OU during the 90s. Then came this unforgettable game; a game that was essentially over with before halftime. A young Bob Stoops (and his equally young staff) made a statement that day that major changes were coming. During the Stoops years, the Sooners began to dominate the Horns again. Great memories.

thank you for the video! Go SOONERS!

...and the "eyes of Texas" have been BLACKENED... Loved it!

Thanks bro

I don't know how many times I have seen this. It is so much fun. Beat Texas! Boomer Sooner!

OU taught Mack Brown a lesson on this game. You're going to prepare your team for this rivalry or we are going to kick your ass like this every year. And other than 03, Texas has come prepared for every RRS. But Mack remembers this game.

@rjc0l3 I'm just saying that college football is more exciting to watch. That's just my opinion.

This game will forever be inshrined at OU as the BEST Red River Rivalry game of all time. OU dismantled and set fire to UT. And the announcer forever made the best comment in a RRR. " The eyes of Texas have been BLACKENED!!"

Perhaps Mike Leach's finest masterpiece.

I believe we woke up in this game to be who we truly are then other teams followed like Alabama Texas and Ohio State Miami Clemson every pinnacle power will wake up every once and a while.

5:08 mark: "And just as the Longhorns were stumbling along the ropes, Rocky delivers one right between the eyes!" BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

What a great day, won $1000 pulling 4 '3's on Caribbean Stud at Hard Rock Vegas when the score was 42-0

this is my favorite ou texas game i like this one better then 2003

Why did I have to be 2 years old during the OU domination 😂

What a football team.

I remember delivering pizzas for pizza hut that day in Oklahoma. It went like this First house, kickoff. Next house 7-0. Next house 14-0 Back to store Next house 28-0 Next house 42-0 I thought "holy shit," I am getting tipped like no other...

ahh this brings good memories .

Wow, they won the game 42 - 7, that was quite a route. To score 42 points in a game is pretty fantastic. PS what do you mean by "(First Half Highlights)"? This couldn't have just ben the first HALF, no. Surely Texas wouldn't give up 42 points in ONE HALF!, right? Texas is a great team, right?

Students come from all 50 U.S. states and over 100 countries. 32% of the 2006 freshmen were in the top 10% of their high school class. Ethnic minority groups represent over 25% of newly enrolled undergraduates and 27% of all students. In addition, the university has an enrollment of over 700 National Merit Scholars, making it first per capita among public universities.

Man,,,,,,,,, back when OU still knew how to play defense. Seems like a million years ago

2000 OU had a best team both offensive and defensive. Best perfect season.

THATS MY COACH!! GO VOLS!!

beautiful

Hey sooner scott. Will you be posting any highlights of the A&M ou game? LOL!!

This is great defense

Hey....How'd that go?

From 7:40 to 8:05 is classic. "The eyes of Texas, have been BLACKENED at the cotton bowl today" Freaking awsome commentating.

YEAH! YES! KEEP SCREAMING, PUBLICLY, HOW SOME OF THE BEST TALENT IN TEXAS ESCAPES TO OU!!!! YOURE DOING MY JOB FOR ME!!! ROTFL!!!

@Big12Longhorn Actually, the reason there is no market for an NFL team in Oklahoma is because many economic analysts found that much of the football base was dedicated to the OU sooners football program. And those same fans when asked if they would rather spend money on tickets for OU games or tickets on a possible NFL team, most said the Sooners. I'm a Steelers fan by the way.

Biggest slap in the face ever. Sorry horns y’all were hamburger meat in the first 5 min. Some damn good bevo burgers 💪

As a life long Sooner fan I think Applewhite was a great QB. But I loved it always when we bet Texas

Defense vicious . Started getting shaky after this year.

Texas is, without a doubt, a "top tier" team --Stewart Mandel calls them "Kings" (Bama, Flo, FSU, Miami, Michigan, NEb, ND, Ohio St, Okla, PSU, Tenn, Texas, USC). Of those, considering talent/NC appearances etc, Michigan is overwhelming the biggest underachiever: 1 (shared) NC since the '50s. Texas is the second-biggest. Three of four NCs came in '60s (OU has 7), and 1 picked by president. You make the point yourself. All that talent, translates to relatively little. Oh, please keep Mack Brown.

5:10.. great comment!

It's All About Da 🙌🙌

Rocky played fullback in high school.

It's called the "big picture."

Thank you. Because yes, I know exactly what I am talking about;)

I've been to 40 in-a-row and this was the most ridiculous....it was like 45 degrees and raining...I know the score, but the game was never even that close...slobber-KNOCKed the crap out of us....

I think this was the game that basically launched the Stoops coming out party over the past 12 years...

7:56-8:00... i love it

THE SMELL OF VICTORYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes.......I would

Josh delivery reminds me of stabler

Go Vols

@94jg How about that other time in 03 when OU beat them by more

Hoping OU wins thier bowl game Dec 31 - GO BOOMER SOONERS!!

@supertennis1 lol you were wrong :P

J. White, S. Bradford, T. Lehman, R. Calmus & Steve Owens....3 Heisman Trophy winners, 2 Butkus winners, all with National Title rings...all from Oklahoma.. I know it pisses texans off that your talent wants to come up and play for a winner, we provide that. A simple thank you would do/your welcome :). owned once more

Beatdown!

Hey I remember that game. That was when the Texans playing for ou beat the Texans playing for A&M. LOL! But no, I was talking about the 41-13 ass kicking that the whole country was watching. You know the 2013 Cotton Bowl;)

@RyDawg918 Heard that.

Man is Vols lucked out getting him as a HC.

I think UCF is in a good position now with this new head coach.

Rather than do this again in 2021... OU decided to spot TX a 21 point lead.

Grad from OU in 75 - but a KC fan!!! Can't stand ya Cowboys!!

@soonerscott2007 I totally agree with that; Sooner football is WAY more exciting to watch than the NFL. I would pick a college game over an NFL game 9/10 times. I noticed your comment is two years old, which makes the statement about OU basketball being more exciting than the Thunder irrelevant as I'm sure you'll agree these days.

You better get ready for the horns next year there going to be a good team in 2022.

Is it just me, or do the players seem slower than they do now? No big hits, has the game just evolved that much?

Josh heupel was a baller

Shouldve could've won with that 03 team it had alot of okie boys on there to shout some people up.

The 77-0 game ??

I like tx, BUT, I am a grad of OU so this is exciting of course! I want all Big XII teams to do well BUT not against OU :-)

Remembrance...

Uhmm, what if TX had 1/2 of their offensive line out with injury plus their star quarterback; or, 1/3 of their defense out - how would TX be ranked in 09?

Is that Oklahoma Ebonics?

Ya know, Longhorn, TX bashes OU, too! But, when OU isn't playing TX, I hope they win!!

well you might- too much trouble for tuning up a civie.....

Texas is the second-biggest underachiever in college football of the "top programs," ones with big recruiting classes and national cache. (Only Michigan is -- slightly -- worse.) Texas had a president give them a NC in the late '60s, & Pete Carroll the other, when he chose to ignore @ Heisman players on a critical 4th down to put the game away. Fine, Texas won in '05, but it was that call. That's just not enough for the last 50 years. OU has won all seven in just over that period. Best of luck.

We may beat them this bad this year. Ou is scary and texas can't execute a coin toss

Actually, in my opinion, college football is much more exciting than NFL. OU would rule over a pro team here anyway. It's also proven true for the NBA. OU is, and will always be bigger than the Thunder. And just for the record, as far as the NFL goes, I'm a Chicago Bears fan. Probably not the norm for this area.

@94jg True My best memory of that day was my Uncle & Aunt got into a fight my Uncle was slightly drunk & my Aunt went to UT & he was rubbing it in her face all game long

Teams lose games. OU won NCs in the '50s, '70s, '80s, '00s. They will again. OU, and Texas too, will always be relevant. They are tradition teams. 'Kings,' per Mandel. It doesn't matter that OU lost to A&M (not the first time) or that Texas lost to UCLA 3-66, or that OU lost three NCs since winning their last. Or that Mack Brown claps better than he coaches. But Texas, with their 'talent,' should have won much more. That's what I'm saying.

Oh, and BTW, hopping TX wins, too!!! Go Big XII

@cryhwks That sucked too. In that game we at least got a couple of punches in but in this game they kept whaling on us without stopping and every time we did something somewhat good OU countered it with something better. Plus nobody in Texas expected a blowout. It just sucked I still to this day don't know what the second half was like my whole family quit watching after halftime.

defense looks like Clemsons now...........hmmmmm whose their coordinator again??? right

Fast forward to the Oklahoma Massacre of last year's beat down. Those Sooners didn't have much to talk about in 2022

Enjoy Texas talent;)

StylistecS bro you're right, without the Texas recruits on their team , OU and OSU would be anything but absolute trash..adding Texas players to their squads amplifies their ability to play tough games against Texas teams..now since we are keeping our top recruits in Texas, look how good Baylor, TCU, Texas A&M and even Texas Tech teams are..so in conclusion, when OU or OSU look down on Texas, just dont forget that the Texas players on your teams really make you organization look good..Hook Em Horns..

Whenever I need a pick me up i watch this. BOOMER !!!!!!!!!!

@jkjls007 Nice !

No......you wouldn't

The come to play with us to win championships if they want to win the Alamo bowl they go to Texas.

we do.... we really do. Hearing that always makes me think of Daniel Day Lewis in There will be blood...." Imagine that milk shake is your talent, and this is my straw....I come across and DRINK UP YOUR LAND!! ALL THAT I WANT ELI!!! then he proceeds to beat his ass to the floor, much like OU does to Texas teams, with their own talent ROTFL!!! owned

This was basically Oklahoma's breakout party for the coming...decade.
