Sooners, for those who don't know, were people who cheated by getting a head start in the great land rush of 1889

Hmm. Never thought of them as cheaters, just thought they were being advantageous by getting there early or sooner. I guess your right though

The army put out a great poster in the days leading up to the land rush, with a huge warning at the top: "Don't be a SOONER!!!"

But I couldn't find a pic of it online.

Still like the nickname though

Dirt bags


Yeah, but their real name is the 49ers

If you include dirtbags, then I'm saying Chinese Bandits.
