iheartneopets@lemm.ee 1 week agoThat’s just what I was thinking. Two OU fans can meet each other anywhere in the world and one can say “Texas,” and the other will say “Sucks,” without missing a single beat. The whole thing is a call and response between each half of the stadium: A- “Boomer” B- “Sooner” A- “Texas” B- “Sucks”
Pretty coordinated for a bunch of blind-drunk undergrads. That’s just the first thing that came to mind, I’m sure many other teams have more elaborate chants

“Boomer” “Sooner” is an acceptable form of greeting in many parts of the state.
Now, the best tradition is the flag run. I got to be on the side that ran at OU Texas one year. Imagine - 80 thousand people watching while you have a big blue Oklahoma flag draped around you like a cape - knowing that in just a second you are going to haul ass like a madman, have to quickly turn around, pivot and then make her wave.
I hate both Oklahoma and football, but that was fun.

Haha, I agree with you on the last point, but their passion for their teams (let’s not forget OSU, though many OU fans wish we could) is something else. My SO is a huge OU fan, and though I don’t quite ‘get’ the love for football, it’s cool to learn about all their traditions. The Sooner Schooner being my favorite
