Tom Brokaw Received Boos at University of Oklahoma/Nebraska Game
Eyewitness | Nov 13, 2004 | PhiKapMom

It was announced during the second half that Tom Brokaw was in attendance at the University of Oklahoma/Nebraska game at Owen Field in Norman. The minute he was announced, you could hear loud boos from around the stadium.

Have no idea how he had the nerve to return to OU after his debacle of a speech for graduation last May. I think he received louder boos then when Nebraska came out, and even more than the penalty we got for fans throwing oranges onto the field near the end of the game.

Chalk this one up to flyover country that detests the mainstream news media. You probably will never hear this from the media except our local radio but it was hilarious. Everyone around where we sit are Bush fans and after they stopped booing, they started laughing at the reaction of everyone. Then they launched into a discussion about how biased the so-called mainstream media was in the election and how people like Brokaw should stay out of the red states. It made me really proud of the Sooner fans -- this truly is Bush Country.

His whole speech was about how the WWII was the greatest generation and there never will be another one, how Bush won the Florida election through the Supreme Court and was selected, that today's students will not go near as far as the greatest generation, war in Iraq was wrong and those are the just the highlights or lowlights that I prefer to call them. I was really disgusted during the speech after he finished trashing the President. That doesn't even include the fact that the speech didn't flow at all -- never did figure out a theme except this class shouldn't reach for greatness but just give up (my son's words).

They usually make a video of the whole game and my son is going to see if we can get a copy with the boo's -- it was priceless.

We knew we were going to get our ass kicked before this game started, we actually thought the score would be more like 62 - 10. Next year will be better, we have some very good recruits coming.

I think that he left the much-vaunted "West-Coast" offense on the West Coast!

Believe Rather or Jennings would be afraid to even come into this part of the Country -- cannot feature them at a football game. Am sure that Brokaw was shocked. Everyone around us was complaining about Brokaw's performance on election night.

wow, i can't imagine if it had been peter jennings or dan rather - brokaw seems to me to be by far the best of the 3

I feel the same, too. Browkaw seems to be the "fairest" of the big three. Perhaps that's not saying much amongst such dastardly company, but still. And even more to that point, it I'm not mistaken W has only given interviews to Brokaw among the big three, as far as I know he's not given the time of day to Rather (of course) and Jennings.

Why would this even be news to the crowd?  Who cares?  What did they expect?  No one else in the crowd was important?  Yet another facet of media gives itself a black eye.

I actually bought his book. That was before he showed his true colors over the last year or so. Maybe I should mail it back to him.

Maybe this has something to do with why he was booed back to the blue states?
