    Must be a coin collector on that sideline. Pretty neat! That would pretty much qualify as an inside joke to those who are "in the know".

    Does anyone know what the sign is supposed to mean?

    The man holding it looks like a team official or coach.

    The guy with the headset (gray shirt with crimson stripe) is one of the Defensive co-ordinators. The signs are used to call out plays, because the crowds get really rowdy when the opposing offense is on the field and the defense cannot hear the play called from the sideline. I saw three of these cards, which are double sided which contain numerals and images of different sorts. The Tulsa Golden Hurricane (in the white uniforms opposite sideline) have famous people for their call images, which I did not bother to image.

    Now, the question is, is it an image of Dan Carr's coin or could it be an authentic image?? The truth is out there.....image Cheers, RickO

    ricko, (shoulder shrug) I was only in row seven...I did not get that close of a look...nor was the reverse on one of the play boards.

    Someone could sent OU Football a bill for a nice licensing fee.

    The Oklahoma image appears to be taken from this Wikipedia page:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_dollar

    It is near the bottom of the page and the image is labeled:
    An unofficially produced 1964-D Peace dollar, struck over a genuine silver dollar by a private mint

    The size and style of the "64" is an exact match to mine.

    Maybe they flash that sign when the coach wants to run a "fake" field goal or something image
