More than a tailgate

The people behind the work.

Oilfield Tailgate has never been only a date on the football schedule. From the early Campus Corner gatherings to the years at Othello's, it is the people who drove to Norman, brought customers and families, introduced friends, tipped the servers, stayed for the band and kept the energy community connected.

These photographs and videos preserve the faces, stories and small moments that can disappear too quickly. The full media stays in Google Photos, Amazon Photos, Dropbox and OneDrive so this website remains fast while the history stays available. Source-file totals remain separate from the curated master until duplicate review is complete.

Where the story started

14 distinct photographs · 34 source files

The first-year OneDrive recovery preserves September 4 and September 11 photographs from the original Campus Corner era before the archive settled into its later home.

New owner sources

Additional Amazon sources are safely logged.

The links remain available while filenames, capture dates, venue clues and duplicates are checked. Amazon Photos may ask visitors to use a supported browser or its app. Each source will move into the correct season only when the evidence supports it.

In the verification queue

Found does not automatically mean counted.

Every candidate stays visible in the working ledger. Exact duplicates are blocked, originals are preserved, and uncertain dates remain unplaced until the evidence agrees.

712013 OU–Tulsa source items

The official Facebook album is logged. Full acquisition, visual review and comparison against the 2013 Google album remain open before any item is counted.

210 / 219exact duplicates caught

A second 2023 photo folder overlaps the 789-file public source. Nine filename-and-size candidates remain for visual and hash review.

17Instagram source images

Four 2021 post groups and one 2022 post group are visually confirmed below; annual-album comparison is still open.

15GoPro + drone originals

18.43 GB of dedicated September 2023 video was located. Content review and duplicate fingerprinting are pending.

2November 2023 originals

8Amazon album leads

Every owner-supplied link is preserved, but none enters a year total until dates and contents can be verified.

How a memory earns its year: album date, camera timestamp, GPS, filename, OU home-game schedule, venue clues and captions are compared together. A source count is never added to the curated total until duplicates and unrelated visits are removed.

Artifacts from the seasons

The sponsor rolls are part of the memory.

Original one-page files recovered from owner storage preserve the companies that helped carry four seasons. These optimized public renditions keep the source PDFs untouched.
