NORMAN — Bob Stoops and Patty Gasso’s careers were linked.
Both won their first national championships at Oklahoma in 2000.
In June 2017, when Gasso won her fourth championship with the Sooners, Stoops retired a day later.
Then Monday night, both were inducted into the Oklahoma Sports Hall of Fame at the Riverwind Showplace Theater.
“He always reminded me of John Wayne, his style and the way he talks,” Gasso said of Stoops. “I just liked his style because it was very real. He’s just a real guy. I’m honored to be able to be in the same class with him.
