What is a LandThief?
Sooners were people that left early in the Oklahoma Land Run of 1889. Boomers were a group of citizens that had illegally entered Indian Territory earlier in the 80s in an effort to open it up for white settlement. (A special shout out to Rob M for the correction.) For some reason, my blessed alma mater chose the nickname Sooners for the name of the athletic teams. Some of our foes refer to us as LandThieves, since a Sooner is someone who cheated and got to the land before they were supposed to. For some reason, the tagline, "Sooners, cheating since 1889" has never caught on. At least we're not the Oklahoma Thunder or Wind.

TCU made the Dallas Morning News today. The headline read the DeMarcus Granger would not be ready to play against TCU.
I look forward to your breakdown of the mascots. The Sooner vs a lizard that must be extinct because I haven't seen one in 30 years.
Ironic, isn't red dawg? I too have not seen one of those since my youth.
The last time I saw one I was a mere 10 years old, and I decided it would be interesting to pull its legs off.
It would be the last time I went to that aunt's house. What with the lizard torture, and the pulling all the plums off her tree and throwing them against the garage, I was no longer welcome.
I am happy to report that I no longer torture animals.
However, TCU is actually involved in a project with the Texas Parks & Wildlife Dept raising little horny toads.
