OU football: Meet the Alabama fan who drove 24 hours round trip for Jalen Hurts' OU debut

NORMAN — Toni House has been an Alabama fan all her life.

Born in Mobile, raised in Decatur, she had to pick between Alabama and Auburn. Everyone in the state does; it might as well be law. She went with the Crimson Tide and has been all “Roll Tide!” ever since.

Until this season.

House is now an Oklahoma fan, too. The 58-year-old spent her Labor Day weekend making the 12-hour drive — by herself — from Decatur to Norman to watch the Sooners’ season opener.

“I was not gonna miss this game,” House said.
