The Kansas Jayhawks have upset the formerly undefeated Oklahoma Sooners.
It looked as if the Sooners were well on their way to another win, as they led the Jayhawks 21-17 going into halftime. A Jalil Farooq fumble late in the third quarter, however, gave Kansas good field position, and the Jayhawks immediately capitalized with a 38-yard touchdown run by Jason Bean. The two teams traded scores until Devin Neal's rush late in the fourth quarter put Kansas up 38-33. Oklahoma drove into Kansas territory in response, but two incompletions put an end to the Sooners' comeback attempt.
It's the first time Kansas has beaten Oklahoma in football since Oct. 4, 1997. Here's a quick sense of how different the world was back then.
Familiar faces
Tom Brady was backing up Brian Griese for the Michigan Wolverines, who would later go on to win a national title. LeBron James was just 12 years old and had spent the summer dominating Akron's youth basketball scene. Paul Pierce, a junior for the Jayhawks' basketball team, had won Big 12 tournament MVP earlier in the year. He'd go on to win another one in March 1998.
The month in pop culture
Boyz II Men's hit "4 Seasons of Loneliness" enjoyed an extremely brief reign at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 the week of Oct. 4. One week later, it'd be knocked off by Elton John's "Candle in the Wind 1997" -- a tribute to Princess Diana, who died in August 1997 -- which would keep its position until January 1998.
At the movies, psychological detective thriller "Kiss the Girls," starring Morgan Freeman, Ashley Judd and Cary Elwes, was the top-grossing film of October. It was based on James Patterson's 1995 novel of the same name.
A huge heist
The same evening of Kansas' last win, a group of criminals stole $17.3 million in cash from a Loomis, Fargo & Co. office in Charlotte, North Carolina, the second-largest cash robbery in America at the time. Authorities would later convict 24 people and recover most of the money.
In living color
The New York Times was still 12 days from publishing its first front-page color photo when Kansas had its last victory over Oklahoma. The subject? Cleveland infielder Tony Fernandez sending his team to the World Series with a walk-off home run against the Baltimore Orioles.
