Oklahoma Scrimmages Draw Big Crowds: Not so long ago, spring football games were no big deal. Gary Gibbs' first spring game as OU's coach drew 4,000 fans. John Blake's first drew 5,500. Even Bob Stoops' debut, in 1999, enticed just 11,350. That was the 20th century. In the 21st century, spring football has exploded. The Sooners drew 31,000 for the Red-White Game last season and 40,500 in 2003. And those numbers don't compare to Nebraska and Florida, where coaching changes have sparked massive crowds. OU spring games always have varied greatly in interest. Barry Switzer's first spring game as coach, 1973, drew 22,000. But in 1985, when Switzer had a national-title contender on his hands, only 3,717 showed up. (NewsOK)
