In 1974, the Oklahoma Sooners were practically unbeatable... in fact, they were unbeatable. The Sooners outscored their opponents by an average score of 43-8 and won twice by the score of 63-0. They were stacked on offense and defense as they ran the table en route to a perfect 11-0 record that culminated in a sharing of the National Championship.

Nobody had a better view of that than John Brooks who was in his first season as part of the Sooners broadcast team and he had a birds eye view of it all. Brooks was in the right place at the right time as Barry Switzer's Sooners were a dominant force as soon as John joined the crew.

How good were they? Perfect.

How good was SI cover man Joe Washington? Sensational.

How good was Barry Switzer? Hall of Fame good.

A Hall of Fame broadcaster in his own right, Brooks takes us behind the curtain for some great stories about a team that was kicking butt and taking names 50 years ago. Join us for a bonus edition of the Past Our Prime podcast with the great John Brooks.... GEEMINY CHRISTMAS!
