How #oklahoma chose its mascot ☝🏼😂 #BoomerSooner

@HonorableSport @espn @CollegeGameDay @OU_Football What about the fact that they call themselves OU, but are the University of Oklahoma, not Oklahoma University? English is tough for them

@HonorableSport @espn @CollegeGameDay @OU_Football The dude had a point. But wait a min! 🤣

@jacobson425 @HonorableSport @espn @CollegeGameDay @OU_Football

@HonorableSport @espn @CollegeGameDay @OU_Football To be fair we used to have an Indian mascot.

@HonorableSport @espn @CollegeGameDay @OU_Football Well let me know if there is an another University that has a more state centric name based upon state history. Unique because there isn’t any other team with this name. I mean how many freaking tigers 🐅 are there. Soooooo original

@HonorableSport @espn @CollegeGameDay @OU_Football This made me laugh. Well done.

@HonorableSport @espn @CollegeGameDay @OU_Football fyi Cowboys wasn't already taken.. OSU didnt become the Cowboys until 1957

@HonorableSport @espn @CollegeGameDay @OU_Football During the Oklahoma land rush a shotgun signaled the start for people to rush into the new territory and claim land. Those people were nicknamed Boomers due to the shotgun boom. Some people cheated and left the night before or sooner than they were supposed to, Sooners = Cheaters

@HonorableSport @espn @CollegeGameDay @OU_Football OUTSTANDING!
