A blog dedicated to having some fun following Oklahoma Sooner sports.

No1 Hook Em, Barry Switzer
For you youngsters out there, Mack was an offensive coordinator for Oklahoma in 1984. Coached some kid named Aikman for a year. Right before this picture, Brown says, "If you don't flash the Horns, I'm putting that picture I have of you and Marcus Dupree on facebook."
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.
