# Lord Howe pigeon

The **Lord Howe pigeon** (sometimes **white-throated pigeon**), *Columba vitiensis godmanae*, was a subspecies of the metallic pigeon which existed on Lord Howe Island. It became extinct in the 1850s.

## Description

The Lord Howe pigeon was mostly brown, with a purple head and breast, and a white patch on its throat.

## Ecology

The bird was found in an arboreal habitat, particularly closed forests. Spread throughout the lowlands of Lord Howe Island, it is likely the species fed upon fruits and seeds.

## Records

Lord Howe Island was discovered in 1788. A written report was made Arthur Bowes, who landed on the island when the *Lady Penrhyn* stopped there in 1788. Parties from his ship collected many birds from the island, including many Lord Howe pigeons, which they subsequently ate. The tameness of the birds made hunting particularly easy. *Lady Penrhyn* had been travelling with the *Charlotte*, and her Captain, Thomas Gilbert, wrote that he captured five or six dozen of the birds, almost all that he found. By breaking the legs of the birds and leaving them to cry, others were drawn to investigate, allowing his near complete capture.

In 1790, midshipman George Raper of HMS *Sirius* produced a painting of the bird. Raper had never personally travelled to Lord Howe Island, but may have seen specimens of the pigeon caught there and taken about the *Sirius* or another ship. Few reports of the bird's existence were made before its extinction. As no skins or specimens of the bird were ever obtained, Raper's painting, and a second painting, provide the only concrete evidence of the bird's existence.

Dr Foulis, who was a resident of the island from 1844 until 1847, recorded the bird as being the only bird of value on the island. At this time the island's population was only 16 humans, but the Lord Howe pigeon was soon extinct.

The species was driven to extinction in the mid-19th century. Hunting by humans is believed to be the likely cause of extinction. The last recorded sighting of the bird took place in 1853. No specimens were collected before extinction. The species was described by Gregory Mathews in 1915, using Raper's painting as a guide. At the time, he named it *Raperia godmanae* for Alice Mary Godman. It was eventually reclassified as a subspecies of *Columba vitiensis*.

# Lost in Hong Kong

***Lost in Hong Kong*** is a 2015 Chinese comedy film directed, co-written and co-produced by Xu Zheng, starring himself along with Zhao Wei, Bao Bei'er, and Du Juan. This is Xu's second directorial feature, after the huge domestic hit *Lost in Thailand* (2012) which grossed over US$208 million. A third film in the "Lost in" series, *Lost in Russia* was released in 2020, although all three films' plot and characters are unrelated.

It was released in China on September 25, 2015, and broke several national box office records. It was released in Hong Kong and Macau on November 19.

## Plot

In the mid-1990s, university art majors Xu Lai (Xu Zheng) and Yang Yi (Du Juan) fell in love, but then Yang was transferred to the Chinese University of Hong Kong and Xu has never seen her since. Almost twenty years later, the already bald Xu has long forgotten his dreams of becoming an artist, but he can never forget Yang even though he enjoys a comfortable life with his loving wife Cai Bo (Zhao Wei), the only major problem between them being the repeated failure conceiving a child. During a vacation in Hong Kong with Cai's overbearing family, Xu plans to secretly visit Yang, but Cai Bo's goofy young brother Cai Lala (Bao Bei'er) — always carrying a video camera in hand for his documentary project — tags along like his unwelcome shadow to spoil the rendezvous. Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, Wong Jing is filming another riotous gangster movie, while 2 police officers (Sam Lee and Eric Kot) investigate a murder. One of them attempts to topple the case and threatens Xu Lai's near and dear.

## Hong Kong films referenced

The film makes explicit or implicit references to well-known Hong Kong films such as:

Moreover, most insert songs also reference Hong Kong films and TV series popular in mainland China (see below).

## Soundtrack

* The end theme song in Mandarin is "Qing Feng Xu Lai" (清风徐来, The Breeze Cand Slowly), written by Zhao Yingjun, sung by China's pop diva Faye Wong who had a remarkable career in Hong Kong. This is Wong's only recording in 2015. The song title, taken from Su Shi's 1082 masterpiece *Qian Chibi Fu* (前赤壁賦; *Former Ode on the Red Cliffs*), can be translated as "the breeze blows gently". In this case, the title can also be interpreted as "Xu Lai the Breeze", a reference of the protagonist's name.
* The film also features a number of Cantopop hits from 1980s and 1990s Hong Kong, summarised below:

## Reception

### Box office

Buoyed by growing anticipation from fans, minor competition and the ever-growing expansion of the Chinese movie industry, *Lost in Hong Kong* is projected to be a box office success. It made more than half of what its immediate predecessor earned in its entire lifetime in just three days. Critics noted that the film will no doubt surpass its predecessor's US$208 million gross. It had a worldwide opening of US$106.8 million, which is the second biggest of all time for a comedy film behind *The Hangover Part II* (US$177.8 million) in 2011, and the biggest for a non-English language film. Its worldwide opening was also the biggest of its release weekend (ahead of *Hotel Transylvania 2*). Although the film didn't face any serious competition with its fellow new releases during its opening weekend, it started facing competition from new releases—*Saving Mr. Wu*, *Goodbye Mr. Loser*, and *Chronicles of the Ghostly Tribe*—on September 30, 2015, albeit none of them were able to outgross the former.

In China, it made $1.8 million from midnight screenings and $32 million on its opening day on Friday, September 25, 2015, which is the biggest debut ever for a Chinese film and the third biggest debut overall in China behind *Furious 7* and *Avengers: Age of Ultron*. It debuted with an unprecedented 100,000+ first-day screenings on nearly 20,000 screens—and surpassed all newcomers by occupying 87% share of the day's box office receipts. It earned US$70.6 million in two days. During its opening weekend it grossed an estimated US$106.8 million from a massive 284,000 screenings in three days becoming the second Chinese film after *Monster Hunt* to open with more than US$100 million. Its 3-day haul of US$106 million is also the second biggest 3-day gross of any film in China irrespective of any day. Only *Furious 7*, which debuted to US$121 million in its Sunday-Tuesday opening in April, has ever notched a bigger 3-day opening in China. It topped the Chinese box office for the second weekend earning US$41 million. It was then the second highest-grossing Chinese film of all time behind *Monster Hunt* and the third highest-grossing film in China in 2015 behind *Monster Hunt* and *Furious 7*.

In the United States and Canada, it opened to a limited release on the same day as its Chinese opening and made $559,000 from 27 theaters—at an average of $20,700 per theater—capturing the weekend's best opening per-theater-average. Well Go USA Entertainment, the distributor of the film in the US said it was "thrilled" with the early results.

### Critical response

The film received a 60% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.

Despite setting many records, the film has also attracted many negative reviews from Chinese critics and a more mixed reaction than its predecessor *Lost in Thailand*.

Martin Tsai of the *Los Angeles Times* called the film a "rollicking crowd-pleaser" that "might just be smart and substantive enough to be one of the year's best." On the other hand, Helen T. Verongos of *The New York Times* was not impressed, labeling it "a very, very, very, long-feeling movie" that "tries too hard to be too many things".

*Variety'*s Maggie Lee considered the film "tamer but still agreeable" compared to *Lost in Thailand*, noting the comedy's references are particularly tailored to the mainland China market, "which even Hong Kong viewers will miss." She also predicted that "mainlanders in their 40s" will embrace it much more readily compared to "millennials".

# Lou Henry Hoover House

The **Hoover House**, formally known as the **Lou Henry Hoover House** or the **Lou Henry and Herbert Hoover House**, is a historic house located on the campus of Stanford University in Stanford, California, United States. Completed in 1920, it is the former house of Herbert Hoover, 31st president of the United States, and his wife Lou Henry Hoover, who designed it. It is now the official home of the president of Stanford. In addition to its importance as a residence of the Hoovers, the house is a significant early example of the International Style of architecture. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985.

## History

Prior to the end of World War I, the Hoovers had commissioned architect Louis Christian Mullgardt to design their Stanford home; however, Mullgardt publicized his appointment prior to the end of the war, angering the Hoovers, who felt that it was an inopportune time in the waning months of a terrible conflict to announce the construction of a large home. Mullgardt was summarily dismissed.

After several consultations the Hoovers convinced Arthur Bridgman Clark, a Stanford art professor who practiced freelance architecture during the summer, to be their architect. Clark agreed on the condition that Mrs. Hoover design the house and that Clark, aided by architectural draftsman Charles Davus and Clark's architect son, Birge, would serve in an advisory capacity. Mrs. Hoover sketched ideas, watching construction, but when anyone told her that any of her architectural ideas weren't done, she responded, "Well, it's time someone did."

The exterior of the house appears much smaller than would be suggested by its interior. This is achieved thanks to the hillside site with the house disappearing into the slope of San Juan Hill. The irregularly shaped house was built on a reinforced concrete slab foundation and rises two stories in the front and three stories in the rear. Resembling early International style homes, it was the opinion of some architects that Mrs. Hoover's designs were modeled after North African Algerian homes she had seen. Elements of Mission Revival Style architecture can also be found in its design and others have seen Pueblo influence.

Herbert Hoover's contribution was to order that the home be fireproof, and the walls were constructed of hollow tiles. Built from 1919 to 1920, the house was the couple's first and only permanent residence. The Hoovers lived there only a short time before Herbert was appointed Secretary of Commerce by President Warren G. Harding in 1921, a role he continued under President Calvin Coolidge. It was here that Hoover awaited the presidential election returns in 1928, when he won against Alfred E. Smith, and 1932, when he lost the election to Franklin D. Roosevelt. During Hoover's presidency (1929–33), the Hoover family only made brief visits to their Stanford home. They returned to this house after 1932, while maintaining a New York apartment as a second residence.

After Lou's death in 1944, her husband deeded the house to Stanford University to serve as a home for university professors. It now serves as the official residence of the university president and is not open to the public.

In 2008 it was fitted with solar panels.

She appeared at the Bayreuth Festival as one of the Flower Girls in *Parsifal*. In 1965, she appeared as Blonde at the Edinburgh Festival.

Schädle was one of the favourites of the audience in Munich, alongside Erika Köth, Sári Barabás, Hertha Töpper and Rosl Schwaiger. In 1980, she retired from the opera stage at the State Opera in Handel's *Judas Maccabaeus*.

The soprano, who also enjoyed singing operetta roles such as Saffi in *The Gypsy Baron* by Johann Strauss, made guest appearances at major stages such as Vienna, Salzburg, Berlin and Zurich. In concert, she was highly esteemed for singing Bach's works. Concert tours took her to Austria, Italy, Switzerland and major German cities. She was honoured by the title Kammersängerin.

The Yuba–Bear project was incepted in 1962 when NID voters approved a bond issue to construct the system. Construction began in 1963 and was completed in 1966, at a cost of $65 million ($466 million in 2023 dollars). The Rollins Dam and Bowman power plants were added in the 1980s. The Yuba–Bear Project introduced additional canals, reservoirs, ability to generate power, and 145,000 acre-feet of water storage to be utilized by residents of the district.

## Geomorphology of the region

### Geology and soils

The Yuba–Bear Hydroelectric Project is located within the Sierra Nevada mountain range, which experienced uplift beginning 3 to 5 million years ago, and contains faults resultant of tectonic collision during the late Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.

This uplift and tilting of the Sierra Nevada created drainage patterns and channel incisions that shaped the landscape, including the Yuba and Bear rivers. Incision of the modern Yuba River began 5 million years ago, compounded by glacier erosion in the Quaternary period. The bedrock underneath the Yuba–Bear has a strong effect on the soils in this region. The soils include Mollisols, Inceptisols, Entisols, Alfisols, Andisols, and Ultisols.

### Yuba River watershed

The Yuba River creates an incision through metamorphic bedrocks, including Mesozoic igneous rocks (granodiorite), Paleozoic phyllite, and slate from the Shoo Fly and Calaveras Formations. Over time, these channels were filled with Tertiary deposits of gravel, large boulders, and sands that were rich in gold.

The Yuba River has been heavily influenced by gold mining activity, with lingering effects such as abandoned mines, residual mercury sequestered in sediment, erosion, and alteration of sediment transport through the river system, with resulting consequences to channel structure. In addition to gold, major minerals of the area include copper, chromium, tungsten, and manganese. In 1994, mining of gravel and sand surpassed gold, with the Feather, Yuba, American, and Bear rivers providing a large amount of alluvial deposits for aggregate mining. The Yuba River has a high level of sediment supply, with a bed-load composed primarily of mining gravel as a result of intense levels of hydraulic mining that occurred in the area.

### Bear River watershed

The Bear River displays characteristics of an "underfit" stream, indicating that it was formed by a larger river that had higher flows. The Bear River is located in a deep V-shaped canyon that suggests not only the work of a larger river, but also glacial advances that carved the topography and created this watershed. The Bear River has been severely impacted by hydraulic mining, and struggles with mercury contaminationleft over from the gold rush. The Bear River originates in the Tahoe National Forest, twenty miles west of the Sierra Nevada crest, and comprises three distinct sections termed the Upper, Middle, and Lower Bear River. The largest water body in the Bear River watershed is Camp Far West Reservoir, which Bear River feeds into before joining with the Feather River south of Yuba City. The Bear River supports popular brown and rainbow trout fisheries, and is popular among fly fishing clubs.

## Project features

The main water sources for the project are the Middle Yuba River, and Canyon Creek (a tributary of the South Yuba River). Jackson Meadows Dam stores water from the Middle Yuba, which is diverted southward through the Milton-Bowman Diversion Conduit into Bowman Lake, an impoundment of Canyon Creek. In addition to Jackson Meadows and Bowman reservoirs, the Yuba–Bear project derives water from fourteen smaller high elevation Sierra lakes, which have been dammed to increase their size.

After passing through Bowman Powerhouse, the water continues south via the Bowman–Spaulding Conduit to Lake Spaulding, which is part of the heavily interconnected Drum-Spaulding Hydroelectric Project owned by PG&E. Lake Spaulding is an impoundment of the South Yuba River, and is an important hub of the system as nearly all the water used by both projects passes through it.

Below Lake Spaulding water passes through Drum-Spaulding Project canals through Emigrant Gap into the upper Bear River, where it powers six hydroelectric plants on its long descent to Rollins Reservoir, the lowermost major reservoir of the Yuba–Bear project. The Yuba–Bear project operates two of these plants (Dutch Flat No. 2 and Chicago Park), in addition to a smaller powerhouse below Rollins Dam.

Together with the Drum-Spaulding Project, the Yuba–Bear project is considered by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to be "the most physically and operationally complex hydroelectric project in the United States".

### Yuba–Bear Hydroelectric Project

NID was granted the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) license for the Yuba–Bear project in June, 1963. That license was set to expire and be up for renewal as of April, 2013. The four developments discussed in detail below compose the Yuba–Bear Project, with a total of 13 mains dams and 207,865 acre-feet of gross combined storage capacity. Accompanying this are 4 powerhouses, 4 water conduits, a 9-mile-long transmission line, appurtenant and recreational facilities.

#### Bowman development

The first installment of the Yuba–Bear project is the Bowman development. It begins with the Jackson Meadows Dam, which is located 45.6 miles up on the Middle Yuba River from where it joins with the North Yuba River. This includes the Jackson Meadows Dam Spillway and Reservoir. The Jackson Meadows Reservoir is man-made, with a surface area of 1,054 acres, and storage capacity of 69,205 ac-ft. Jackson Meadows Reservoir Recreation Area offers a combined 282 camping sites spread out over eight different campgrounds. Downstream of Jackson Meadows, located 42.2 miles upstream of where the Middle Yuba meets the North Yuba, is the Milton Main Diversion Dam, Milton South Diversion Dam, the Milton Diversion Dam Spillway, and the Milton Diversion Impoundment. The Milton Reservoir has a surface area of 103 acres, and 295 ac-ft of storage capacity. Not to be confused with Jackson Meadows, is Jackson Dam. This is located on Jackson Creek, 2.9 miles upstream from Bowman Lake. Jackson Dam is an earth-filled dam accompanied by the Jackson Dam Spillway and Jackson Dam Lake, which has 58 acres of surface area and 1,330 ac-ft of storage capacity. Jackson Creek Campground has 13 available camping sites.

The remaining impoundments contributing to the Bowman Development are on Canyon Creek. The first of these is French Dam, a rockfill dam, followed by French Dam Spillway and French Lake. French Lake has 356 acres of surface area and 13,940 ac-ft storage capacity. Next is Faucherie Dam, Spillway, and Lake, with 143 acres surface area and 3,980 ac-ft storage. Faucherie Lake Recreation Area contains 25 campsites and a day-use area. Sawmill Dam is another rockfill dam, and the last impoundment of Canyon Creek before reaching Bowman Lake. Sawmill Dam Spillway and Lake allow for 3,030 ac-ft storage capacity, and create 79.4 acres of surface area.

Bowman Lake is formed on Canyon Creek by Bowman North Dam, and Bowman South Dam and Spillway. Bowman Lake has a surface area of 820 acres, and 68,510 ac-ft of storage capacity. The Bowman Penstock, Powerhouse, Switchyard, and Transmission Line originate here, with the Transmission Line connecting the Bowman Development to the Drum-Spaulding Project run by PG&E. Bowman Campground has 10 camping sites.

#### Dutch Flat No. 2 development

Water reaches the Dutch Flat Development by way of the Bowman-Spaulding Conduit. This diverts flow from Canyon Creek below Bowman Lake through 40,501 feet of flumes and canals, and through 16,192 feet of tunnels. Texas Creek Diversion Dam and Fall Creek Diversion Dam also redirect portions of Canyon Creek flow into the Bowman-Spaulding Conduit. The Dutch Flat No. 2 Conduit is a combination of flume, tunnel, siphon, and canal that takes water from PG&E's Drum-Spaulding Project (at Drum Afterbay), and channels it into Dutch Flat No. 2 Forebay. The Dutch Flat Forebay Dam is an off-stream earthfilled embankment dam adjacent to the Bear River. The Dutch Flat Forebay Dam Spillway leads to Dutch Flat Forebay, a reservoir adjacent to the Bear River with a surface area of 8 acres and 185 ac-ft storage capacity. The remaining components of the Dutch Flat Development are Dutch Flat No. 2 Powerhouse Penstock, Dutch Flat No. 2 Powerhouse, and Dutch Flat No. 2 Powerhouse Switchyard.

#### Chicago Park development

Six miles upstream from where the Bear River meets Rollins Reservoir, is the Dutch Flat Afterbay Dam. The Dutch Flat Afterbay Dam Spillway discharges uncontrolled into the Bear River, and contributes to Dutch Flat Afterbay reservoir located on the Bear River. This reservoir has a surface area of 140 acres, and 2,037 ac-ft storage capacity. From here, the Chicago Park Conduit utilizes 21,700 feet of flumes and ditches to transport water to the Chicago Park Forebay Dam, an earthfill dam adjacent to the Bear River. The Chicago Park Forebay Dam Spillway allows water into Chicago Park Forebay, another reservoir adjacent to the Bear River with 7 acres of surface area and 117 ac-ft of storage capacity. The remaining components of this Development are the Chicago Park Powerhouse Penstock, Chicago Park Powerhouse, and the Chicago Park Switchyard.

#### Rollins development

This Development consists of an embankment dam on the Bear River known as Rollins Dam, Rollins Dam Spillway, and Rollins Reservoir, which has a surface area of 825 acres and 65,989 ac-ft of storage capacity. Rollins Reservoir also offers 332 camping site spread over 4 campgrounds. The Rollins Powerhouse Penstock, Rollins Powerhouse, and Rollins Switchyard complete this project.

### Drum–Spaulding Project

The Drum-Spaulding Project is heavily intertwined with the Yuba–Bear project, and is run by PG&E. The Drum-Spaulding Project is composed of the following:

#### Upper Drum–Spaulding

Drum No. 1 and No. 2 Development, with generation of 105.9 MW. Spaulding No. 1 and No. 2 Development, generating 11.4 MW. Spaulding No. 3 Development with 5.8 MW, Dutch Flat No. 1 Development with generation of 22 MW, and Alta No. 1 Development that is proposed to retire.

#### Lower Drum

Halsey Development generating 11 MW, Wise Development with 14 MW and Wise No. 2 Development generating 3.2 MW, and Newcastle Development with 11.5 MW.

#### Deer Creek

Deer Creek development, generating 5.7 MW.

### Yuba River Development Project

The Yuba River Development Project is run by the Yuba County Water Agency, and is connected to the Yuba–Bear Hydroelectric Project. This Development Project includes the New Bullards Bar Reservoiron the North Yuba River, two diversion dams (Our House Diversion Dam on the Middle Yuba, and Log Cabin Diversion on Oregon Creek), three powerhouses (New Colgate, Fish Release, and Narrows No. 2), along with various recreation facilities. The installed capacity of this Project is 361.9 megawatts.

## Uses

At maximum capacity, the project can generate 79.32 megawatts. Power is distributed under contract with Pacific Gas and Electric (PG&E). The project's reservoirs have a gross storage capacity of 203,865 acre-feet (0.251464 km3).

In addition to hydroelectric power, the project significantly increases the water flow in the Bear River, the main source of NID's irrigation water supply.

# You've Got My Number (Why Don't You Use It?)

"**You've Got My Number (Why Don't You Use It?)**" is a 1979 punk rock song originally written and recorded by Northern Irish band the Undertones. Written in the summer of 1979 by the band's main songwriter, John O'Neill, the single was released on 9 October that year and reached number 32 in the UK charts. The song was performed live on *Top of the Pops* on 15 November 1979.

"You've Got My Number (Why Don't You Use It?)" was one of only two singles released by the Undertones not to be included on any of their albums at the time of their original release (the other single being "Beautiful Friend"). However, the song was included as a bonus track on the 1994 CD version of the band's second album, *Hypnotised*, and the 2000 Castle Music re-release of their eponymous debut LP. In addition, the song has been included on several 'Best Of' Undertones compilation albums.

## Background

The song was the fifth single released by the Undertones. According to bassist Michael Bradley, when John O'Neill first demonstrated this song to his bandmates, "our jaws dropped to the ground. It was brilliant". The band first played the song live at Oscar's Disco in Derry in the late summer of 1979, prior to its release as a single.

## Sleeve artwork

The artwork for the single sleeve depicts the record's Sire catalogue number (4024) in sans-serif font upon the front sleeve. The rear of the sleeve is plain white with a die-cut centre displaying the label of the vinyl single. No text is displayed upon the A-side of the label, which instead depicts a combination of an image of the band members taken by photographer Jill Furmanovsky earlier in 1979.

# 1971 Bundesliga scandal

The **Bundesliga scandal** (*der Bundesliga-Skandal*) refers to the malicious, for-profit manipulation of games in the 1970–71 German football championship season.

## History

The manipulation of games was revealed when the president of Kickers Offenbach, Horst-Gregorio Canellas, presented an audio-tape to DFB officials and a few journalists at his 50th birthday garden-party. In that tape, several players, including German internationals Bernd Patzke and Manfred Manglitz, could be heard offering to let themselves be bribed to help Offenbach avoid relegation.

The chief prosecutor of the DFB, Hans Kindermann, found out that, amongst others, the 17 April 1971 game between FC Schalke and Arminia Bielefeld that ended 0–1, had been "sold" (or thrown) by Schalke's players and the board of directors. Afterwards, many of the Schalke players were banned for long periods, while several lifetime bans were imposed.

The players maintained their innocence, and even swore an oath to that, but the oath was eventually proven to be false. Schalke's rivals, especially from the Ruhr, still occasionally refer to Schalke as *FC Meineid* (German for "FC Perjury").

Fifty-two players, two managers and six club functionaries were punished. Also, Bielefeld and Offenbach had their license to participate in the Bundesliga revoked. Offenbach had been relegated due to their sporting performance anyway, despite the manipulated games, but Bielefeld played in the next Bundesliga season. Eventually, Bielefeld finished playing all 34 games of the 1971–72 season, but were punished by automatic relegation after that season, officially receiving zero points for each game independently of their actual record.

## Manipulated games

<sup>*</sup>Strictly speaking, the game was not manipulated, but the Braunschweig players were promised, and given, for winning this game an additional bonus by a third party, which was illegal.

title: 1972 Oklahoma Sooners football team

abstract:
The 1972 Oklahoma Sooners football team represented the University of Oklahoma in the 1972 NCAA University Division football season. Oklahoma was a member of the Big Eight Conference and played its home games in Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, where it has played its home games since 1923. The team posted an 11–1 overall record and were 6–1 in conference, later changed to 8–4 and 3–4. This was Chuck Fairbanks' last season as Sooner head coach; he left for the New England Patriots of the NFL. The Sooners' 1972 record is marred by the use of an ineligible player. In self-reporting the violations to the NCAA, Oklahoma voluntarily forfeited eight games. The NCAA later penalized the program by reducing scholarships, TV appearances and bowl appearances. In 2008 a blogger for Washington, DC TV station WJLA stated, "The NCAA claims that according to a now-retired statistician of the era, and a review of its database that forfeits were NOT [sic] part of the NCAA sanctions levied against the Sooners." A commenter stated, "The 1972 forfeits by Oklahoma were sanctioned by The Big Eight. As such Oklahoma's conference record was adjusted, while their overall record was not. In older Oklahoma media guide... Oklahoma would show their record as 11-1 with a 3-4 conference record Also, if you check the media guides of the teams Oklahoma "forfeited" to, Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma State, you'll not[e] similar adjustments. Each team didn't change their overall record, but changed their conference record." Oklahoma had used players with falsified transcripts and on April 18, 1973, voluntarily forfeited eight games. Eventually, the Big Eight sanctioned the forfeit of three conference victories, but Oklahoma now recognizes these as wins and claims the 1972 conference title. Oklahoma was led by four All-Americans: Rod Shoate, Greg Pruitt, Tom Brahaney and Derland Moore. This was the first season that the Selmon brothers Lucious, Lee Roy and Dewey, all eventual All-Americans, anchored the defensive line. The Sooners played seven ranked opponents, and four of these opponents finished the season ranked. Oklahoma's only loss on the field was in the fifth game against Colorado. The team concluded its season with a 14–0 victory over Penn State in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Eve. Pruitt led the Sooners in rushing with 1024 yards, Dave Robertson led in passing with 1136 yards, and Tinker Owens led in receiving
(for the first of four consecutive seasons) with 430 yards. Pruitt led in scoring with 86 points, Shoate in tackles with 145, and Dan Ruster in interceptions with seven. The 1972 Sooners twice posted 37 first downs, which was a school record that stood for 16 seasons.

The **1972 Oklahoma Sooners football team** represented the University of Oklahoma in the 1972 NCAA University Division football season. Oklahoma was a member of the Big Eight Conference and played its home games in Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, where it has played its home games since 1923. The team posted an 11–1 overall record and were 6–1 in conference, later changed to 8–4 and 3–4. This was Chuck Fairbanks' last season as Sooner head coach; he left for the New England Patriots of the NFL.

The Sooners' 1972 record is marred by the use of an ineligible player. In self-reporting the violations to the NCAA, Oklahoma voluntarily forfeited eight games. The NCAA later penalized the program by reducing scholarships, TV appearances and bowl appearances. In 2008 a blogger for Washington, DC TV station WJLA stated, "The NCAA claims that according to a now-retired statistician of the era, and a review of its database (which the NCAA admits might not be totally complete) that forfeits were NOT  \[*sic*\] part of the NCAA sanctions levied against the Sooners." A commenter stated, "The 1972 forfeits by Oklahoma were sanctioned by The Big Eight. As such Oklahoma's conference record was adjusted, while their overall record was not. In older Oklahoma media guide ... Oklahoma would show their record as 11-1 with a 3-4 conference record (reflecting 3 forfeits, despite the original 7 or 8 forfeited. ...) Also, if you check the media guides of the teams Oklahoma "forfeited" to, Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma State, you'll not\[e\] similar adjustments. Each team didn't change their overall record, but changed their conference record." Oklahoma had used players (including Kerry Jackson, the team's first black quarterback) with falsified transcripts and on April 18, 1973, voluntarily forfeited eight games. Eventually, the Big Eight sanctioned the forfeit of three conference victories (Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma State), but Oklahoma now recognizes these as wins and claims the 1972 conference title.

Oklahoma was led by four All-Americans: Rod Shoate (OU's second three-time All-American), Greg Pruitt, Tom Brahaney and Derland Moore. This was the first season that the Selmon brothers Lucious, Lee Roy and Dewey, all eventual All-Americans, anchored the defensive line. The Sooners played seven ranked opponents (In order, #10 Texas, #9 Colorado, #14 Iowa State, #14 Missouri, #5 Nebraska, #20 Oklahoma State, and #5 Penn State), and four of these opponents finished the season ranked. Oklahoma's only loss on the field was in the fifth game against Colorado. The team concluded its season with a 14–0 victory over Penn State in the Sugar Bowl on New Year's Eve.

Pruitt led the Sooners in rushing with 1024 yards, Dave Robertson led in passing with 1136 yards, and Tinker Owens led in receiving (for the first of four consecutive seasons) with 430 yards. Pruitt led in scoring with 86 points, Shoate in tackles with 145, and Dan Ruster in interceptions with seven.

The 1972 Sooners twice posted 37 first downs, which was a school record that stood for 16 seasons.
