Oklahoma debuted a new quarterback, some new schemes and a new season Saturday night against ULM. Also unveiled was a new intro video, which has become the best reason to report to your Owen Field seats 10 minutes before kickoff the past several years.

Not sure what I think of the twist OU put on this year's production. I'm gonna need more time to digest it all.

I do like how they weaved Switzer in. I'm afraid Stoops is a little too... um... stiff to pull off the slam poetry hammer at the end. But it was a good try, good effort.

Here, see for yourself:
