The growing movement in college football of programs cancelling their annual spring games has reached the Oklahoma Sooners.
The Sooners announced a new spring football tradition on Monday, replacing the spring game with a “fan-centric” event on April 12 at 1 p.m. called the “Crimson Combine.”
The event will include players and coaches partaking in combine-like drills, skill challenges, autograph and photo opportunities and more. New Oklahoma general manager Jim Nagy and offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle will also speak to fans at the event.
“This is a brand-new spring football tradition for our fans,” OU athletic director Joe Castiglione said in a statement. “Crimson Combine will spotlight our players while also giving our fans the ability to get closer to the action and have the chance to engage directly with our team and coaching staff.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. (WOWT) – Nebraska men’s basketball has finally broken through in March.
The 4‑seed Huskers dominated 13‑seed Troy, 76–47, at Paycom Center on Thursday, securing the first NCAA Tournament win in program history and advancing to the Round of 32.
Nebraska blew the game open in the first half and never let Troy back in. The Huskers led 41–25 at halftime and stretched the margin throughout the second half, turning what many expected to be a tricky 4‑13 matchup into a statement win.
Pryce Sandfort powered Nebraska’s offense, pouring in 23 points, including 7 three‑pointers, as the Huskers consistently found clean looks and pushed the pace. Nebraska’s defense was just as sharp, bottling up Troy’s shooters and controlling the glass to deny the Trojans second‑chance opportunities.
Troy, the back‑to‑back Sun Belt champion, came in with five straight 20‑win seasons and a reputation for balance and toughness. But Nebraska’s size, depth and shooting wore the Trojans down as the game went on. Earlier in the day, Husker fans packed the Skirvin Hotel for a send‑off and then turned Paycom Center into a home‑away‑from‑home, roaring as Nebraska closed in on history.
Nebraska now awaits its Round of 32 opponent as the South Region bracket continues to unfold.
HALF – Nebraska 41, Troy 25
