Woodbridge Golf Club
Wylie, TX
October 6, 2000 OU 63 – TX 14
Like all previous Uglies, the 2000 event witnessed a record turnout. 72 players gathered at Woodbridge Golf Club in Wylie, Texas. However, that is hardly the story of the first Ugly of the new millennium.
The real story was the utter, thorough and dominant spanking the Sooners put on the hated ‘Horns in the Cotton Bowl. Josh Heupel led the offense and Jenks’ graduate Rocky Calmus led the defense in the most one-sided and delicious game in the history of the storied rivalry. Oklahoma had lost a big lead the year before to lose to Texas. It was NOT going to happen again.
OU jumped out to a 35-0 lead and cruised into halftime leading 42-7. The north half of the Cotton Bowl was deserted except for a few miserable ‘Horn fans. Stoops’ Troops coasted through the second half and partied all the way back to Norman.
Oklahoma 63, Texas 14.
The Sooners would go on to be AP #2 Kansas State the following week and then AP#1 Nebraska the week after that.
Oklahoma would finish the regular season undefeated and then beat a heavily favored Florida State 13-2 in the Orange Bowl for the Sooners 7th National Championship.
