Yes, they can play the Bowling Green fight song

ESPN goes behind the scenes with the OU Football program all season, and the first installment discusses the weekly game ops meeting.

BTW, the pregame and halftime scripts are not as complicated as they make them sound, and they regularly run off by a minute or so. It's a well-formed plan and agenda, not a precision military operation where split-second timing makes all the difference.

Nonetheless, on those occasions when there are military fly-overs during the National Anthem or something, they happen pretty close to exactly the right spot. These guys are pros.

OU vs. Bowling Green, 11AM CT, ABC Sports (most of the US except the northeast, industrial midwest, FL, CA, AK, and HI)
