17 years agoLevel 10If you have something to say about college football, general smack talk about it, or a good video clip please post it here.
BTW, since a few of late have been living in their teams past, I was going to paste the run of all runs by Johnny Rodgers back in 1972, however; I'll just post the one below.
Can you say the best college football team ever? : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_oP7vTSrOk

17 years agoLevel 10What is a Sooner?
College sports fans are hard-pressed to find a nickname that is as unique and as linked to a state's history as a Sooner. The University of Oklahoma is the only school known as Sooners.
The Oklahoma Territory opened with the Land Run of 1889. Settlers from across the globe, seeking free land, made their way to the prairies of the plains to stake their claim to a new life. One of the few rules to claiming a lot of land was that all participants were to start at the same time. Those who went too soon were called "Sooners."
As time went on, "Sooner" came to be a synonym of Progressivism. The Sooner was an "energetic individual who travels ahead of the human procession." He was prosperous, ambitious, competent, a "can-do" individual. And Oklahoma was the Sooner State, the land of opportunity, enterprise and economic expansion, very much in the Progressive spirit that engulfed the old South in the 1920's.
OU athletic teams were called either Rough Riders or Boomers for 10 years before the current Sooner nickname emerged in 1908. The university actually derived their name from a pep club called 'The Sooner Rooters.'
The success of University of Oklahoma athletic teams over the years has made the nickname synonymous with winning.

17 years agoLevel 10LOL BYU..... Actually, there were some nice hits on that reel. I like the kick off return that the Boise State player gets uprooted and knocked down in T minus .002 seconds.
