College GameDay (Oklahoma Edition)

[OU_Sooners75]

I've never heard that. I stand corrected.

It steams from the Homestead Act of 1862 (I believe that was the year).

Look it up on soonersports.com. It mentions it.

 

[ShamrockOnHelmet]

Well, those of us from Indiana are 'Hoosiers', which is just as odd. And worse yet, we don't REALLY even know WTF it means!

 

[RallySonsOfND]

To put it shortly, Sooner=Cheater.

 

[GBdomer]

There candy caning out the stadium. Pretty cute, I wish I was going game day in Norman would be gaga

 

[OUMallen]

People are pretty fired up.

 

[buckeyesooner]

O'Connell's Irish Pub & Grille on Campus Corner will, I am sure, be a watering hole for the many Irish fans we expect to make the trip..If you can find me you can buy me a beer and vice versa...

 

[Mississippi Sooner]

It's been a while since we've had a non-conference game that lived up to the hype.

Miami game a few years ago = dud.
Florida State a couple of years ago = dud.

This one might actually live up to the billing.

Mississippi you a Sooner fan? If so welcome brother. I am a huge fan of Kenny Stills.

Stills scares the **** out of me. He is a stud

 

[Mississippi Sooner]

Yep, definitely a Sooners fan. Funny thing is, I live in Illinois now.

I know, it confuses me, too.

Use to live there myself. What part?

 

[Mississippi Sooner]

I'm in Staunton now. About 40 miles northeast of St Louis.

 

[GBdomer]

Nice man, well welcome.

Here's a decent representation of the Land Run of '89.

land run - oklahoma - tom - YouTube

For perspective, Oklahoma didn't become a state until 1907. OU's football team played its first game in 1895. An OU president, George Lynn Cross, was once quoted as saying to the OK state legislature when asking for more money: "I would like to build a University of which the football team could be proud."

This stuff is in our blood. College football is a part of our cultural lifeblood and our history, our story. The history of the State of Oklahoma entwines with Oklahoma football. OU football is as Okie as red dirt and chicken fry. We love this stuff, fellas.

That scene always made me sad as a kid because I felt bad for the Indians just watching it happen. Weird thing to get to me.

THE homoerotic scene of the last century.

Yeah, pretty much devastated a population and set them back 100 years in relation to the new white people that moved in...Christopher Columbus style, with only a small portion of the genocide.

Around these parts, plenty of the people you meet are one or more tribes. My mother is 3/8 Cheyenne.

I love hearing about Western history (being a history grad myself), but come on now. That's just a plain boldfaced ignorant lie.

Ever heard of the Trail of Tears? ^^^
Nothing like forcing an entire civilization to move everything they own in the dead of winter. Oh, and the government's soldiers didn't give the Native Americans blankets with small pox. Wait, yeah, they did...only killed 4K people. That's the definition of genocide...

In case you didn't read my post, I was referring to the fact that he labeled it a small portion of the genocide. By that I mean it's completely ridiculous to suggest that the genocide committed against the Native Americans was anything even resembling "small."

But ok.

 

[BobD]

So........do we have anyone going to the game?
