Daily Campus article

There's a really nice Daily Campus article linked up on the home page about bidding farewell to senior athletes.
One reference in the story went way over my head:
"Johnny Freeman amazing crowds whenever he sat down at the piano. Freeman, a wide receiver, can find the chords and melody of any contemporary song. I'm still waiting on his version of "In Da Club." In a male pageant, Freeman was asked what was the best thing a black woman could be or do for a black man. His answer? "Meals, thighs . . . and love." Freeman tried to clarify, but his words will live in Crimson and Cream history."
Crimson and Cream history? Did we all become Oklahoma Sooners when I wasn't looking?
Can someone explain the reference to me?
