I will remember this game forever, but not for anything that happened on the field, although OSU’s roller coaster fourth quarter was entertaining at the time. Just after the game ended, while my cards were still ingesting in the photo workroom beneath Boone Pickens Stadium, there was an earthquake. It was the second earthquake I had ever felt, the first being only 20 hours earlier. Not much more to say about that except it was completely startling, bizarre and literally shook the entire stadium.

These are just features here. If you’re into game action, check out the slideshow on the Tulsa World.
