The Power of ORANGE!!!

[Mr. Orange-Power]

Three months ago, Lyndle Byford (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Lyndle+Byford&CATEGORY=PERSON) wasn't so crazy about sporting Cowgirl colors. He was an all-Big Eight offensive lineman at Oklahoma (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Oklahoma Sooners&CATEGORY=ORGANIZATION) from 1977-1982. He helped lead the crimson and cream to three Orange Bowl victories. His background told him orange and black represents the enemy. Lyndle Byford (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Lyndle+Byford&CATEGORY=PERSON) was trained to tackle anything wearing those colors.
So for as long as possible, he avoided wearing it.

"I always wore black to Megan's games,” he said.

But when OSU (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Oklahoma+State+Cowgirls&CATEGORY=ORGANIZATION) hosted Oklahoma (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Oklahoma Sooners&CATEGORY=ORGANIZATION) in the first round of Bedlam on Jan. 12, Lyndle Byford (http://newsok.com/keysearch/?er=1&CANONICAL=Lyndle+Byford&CATEGORY=PERSON) finally gave in.
"I promised Megan I would wear orange for Bedlam,” Lyndle said. "When your daughter is playing, you'll do anything for her.”

Well, Mr. OP, there's proof that even the most hardened can be rehabilitated.

But what about the federal law that say's sooners can be shot on sight?
