Nah, that's just a rumor. The original reason given was the new style of jerseys the Sooners wore last year were cut differently and didn't allow room on the back for a nameplate. Once everyone called BS on that, Coach Stoops came clean and said he did it because he wanted the team to know the name on the front of the jersey meant a lot more than the name on the back of the jersey. In any event, looks like the names are back and the team will be wearing different jerseys this year (thank goodness, last year's were hideous).
