Norman Cashes In On Saturday's Game

O-U and the city of Norman take the national spotlight Saturday as the Sooners take on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. The game will be on ESPN.


"We are expecting to see crimson and creme, gold and navy blue and a lot of green," said Steohen Koranda with the Norman Conventions And Visitors Center.


Koranda expects to see anywhere from $6-8 million dollars brought into Norman in just that one weekend.


"Every hotel is booked. We are having to refer people to Moore and Oklahoma City," said Koranda.


More than the economic impact, Norman is getting national exposure.


"You just can't put a pricetag on that."

Trial of Okla. fire chief's goes over to defense
May 19, 2013 19:42 GMT

EL RENO, Okla. (AP) -- A woman accused in the fatal shooting of her husband in their Mustang home is trying to show she's a caring person who wouldn't take a life.

Nichols Hills Fire Chief Keith Bryan was slain in 2011 and prosecutors say Rebecca Bryan used a pistol that was found hidden in the home.

Prosecutors finished their portion of the case on Friday, and Bryan's lawyers began her defense by calling members of her family and friends to testify.

The Oklahoman reports (http://is.gd/b5ottV ) that defense witnesses described Rebecca Bryan as someone quick to help a person in need.

But prosecutors spent devoted their case to portraying her as a killer who is trying to pin the slaying on a fictional intruder.

Trial is to resume Monday in El Reno.
