Most AFLAC trivia questions are lame and/or hoplessly obscure and thus uninteresting. They transcended both categories during today's Oklahoma/Oklahoma State game.
What year and why did this rivalry recieve the nickname Bedlam (and did I even know it was called Bedlam?)? 1904, Guthrie. Someone fumbled the ball out of the endzone. This being the early days, the safety had yet to be invented, so the ball stayed in play. And in the Cold Creek River behind the field. A mad dash ensued, Oklahoma saved the pigskin from the freezing water, and returned it for a touchdown.
Oh, those wacky early years!
