Just two seasons ago they played Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl and won and were 6" shy of beating Baylor in the final seconds of the Big 12 championship game that probably would have put them in the CFB playoff.
As for storming the field, it's OU, it's your in-state rival, and it's the final Bedlam for the foreseeable future, and despite the one sided wins of the overall series, the last 22 or so years since Les Miles have usually been very competitive. For college students you have 4-5 years of games, bedlam in Stillwater was always the biggest game, you got to storm the field at least once right? Yes, for OU, Texas is the biggest rival, but it's always the state of Texas vs the state of Oklahoma. Bedlam is it's own thing as it literally divides the state, families, and apparently blood drives.
As for OU Fans, I think they have been nervous to storm the field ever since Nebraska in 2000. If you know, you know.
