4. cool - when?
Two of my sisters were at OU in the mid and late 70s. (My other sister and both parents are Tulsa grads and very much enjoyed the Liberty Bowl. :) )

5. moved there in '93 and just moved away this summer
I loved my time there. The politics of the state drove me nuts, but other than that it was very livable, and I will always consider Norman home :)
