The Sooners in the 80s used to choose to defend a particular goal all the time. The other team would then choose to receive. If the Sooners had elected simply to kick, the opponent would have gotten to select which direction the kick came from.

Choosing a side is NOT the same as choosing to kick. In the above scenario, the opponent COULD have opted to kick instead of receive, and might have had they been faced with a coaching team with similar thoughts as Oklahoma.
