They literally walk around and play it over and over. Are the lyrics really just “Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner”? Wtf?

Only Oklahoma could come up with a fight song with two words

I’m planning on keeping a count of how many times I hear it, that is, if I can keep up. Last time I did that was when I heard Rocky Top played 18 times in 2017.

Damn them for using a 150 year old expression from the founding of their state.

It’s the world’s most annoying fight song. It’s the only song they know.

quote:

The phrase "Boomer Sooner" refers to the Land Run of 1889, in which the land around the modern university was settled.[5] Boomers were people who campaigned for the lands to be opened (or tried to enter the lands) before passage of the Indian Appropriations Act of 1889. Sooners were land thieves who settled before the lands were officially opened, giving them an unfair advantage on finding, fencing, and claiming farm land. If the charge of early entry was proven, they would lose their claimed land.


The "Sooners" were illegal squatters.

It seems like they do it more than that in each half. It is ridiculous how much they play that annoying shite.

Texans won their land through conquest. Oklahoman's by theft. Big difference.
