The Anne and Henry Zarrow School of Social Work was completed on the Norman campus in 2011 and houses facilities for the training of undergraduate and graduate social workers. The 12 million dollar building is named for the Zarrow family, a philanthropic couple from Tulsa, Oklahoma. The Zarrows donated $5 million as the keystone donors for the new building with the remaining funds coming from a bequest of Ruth I. Knee, a graduate of the program, and a portion of the states federal stimulus funds.

The University of Oklahoma has had a long and bitter rivalry with the [[University of Texas at Austin|University of Texas]] known as the [[Red River Shootout]], Red River Rivalry, or OU–Texas, with Texas having the better overall record at 59–43–5. This rivalry is often thought of as a contest of state pride along with school pride. OU also has a long-standing rivalry with [[Oklahoma State University–Stillwater|Oklahoma State University]]. Known as the [[Bedlam Series]], it encompasses all the athletic contests between the two universities with the winner receiving the Bedlam Bell. Another major historic rival is the [[University of Nebraska–Lincoln|University of Nebraska]], which was part of the [[Big 8 Conference]] with Oklahoma and later joined with Oklahoma and other schools in the formation of the [[Big 12 Conference]]. The Sooners made football history December 6, 2008, when they scored sixty or more points in five consecutive games. This achievement occurred during their victory over the University of Missouri for the Big 12 Championship.
