Not sooners enough.

Why are they called the Sooners?

[whiteballz]

All of that was meaningless.

What the hell?

[cmcpokey]

this thread = pointless

[f6fhellcat13]

Because the covered wagons used to cross the plains were called "prarie sooners" because of their white canvas tops.
A sooner is a type of sailboat

Couldn't care less. Sorry Pat.

It means that Oklahoma plays Missouri (Who lost to Oklahoma State) for the Big 12 championship. If they win they play the winner of the Alabama/Florida game for the national title. Yesterday Oklahoma was tied for first place with Texas and Texas Tech. Since Oklahoma crushed Texas Tech who beat Texas, who earlier beat the Sooners, and last nights epic win against Oklahoma State, the BCS rankings swinged in their favor. It's your textbook epic win.

I thought the boat was a schooner?

It could be a bastardization of that, or I could be talking out of my ass.
I'll check.

That's a scooner.

I was talking out of my ass.

The term Sooners was used to describe settlers who entered the Unassigned Lands, located in the current state of Oklahoma, before President Grover Cleveland officially proclaimed them open to settlement with the Indian Appropriations Act of 1889 on March 2, 1889. The name derived from the "sooner clause" of the Indian Appropriation Act, which stated that no one should be allowed to enter and occupy the land prior to the opening time and that such people would be denied rights to illegally claimed land.[1]

I was at Arrowhead Stadium (where the Big 12 Championship is played) the last time the Sooners were in it. They played my team, K-State, and we did work on them... All that aside, I did watch the OU/OSU game and it was pretty much one of the best football games I've ever seen. Even if you don't like either team, such as myself, you have to admin it was pretty epic.
