I asked her what for, and she tried to explain that sometimes a person just needs to get away from a mean roommate or a negative atmosphere in the dorm. I told her that in my day the safe space was known as a library.

I thought it was loosely translated as ‘home of the red man’.

Do away with “sooner” and there go half the words from their fight song lyrics.

Fight songs need to be eliminated as they glorify violence.

The definition I used came from Wikipedia but I heard other variations involving red with soil and/or land.

Sooner is wascit?

Well, I’m Irish and maybe someone would want to stick up for me but, I don’t feel that way.

A long time ago I was looking at some census records on microfilm (before Al Gore invented the internet) and ran across an American Indian whose first name was “Oklahoma.” Probably the 1880 census somewhere in Kansas (maybe Cowley Co. or Sedgwick Co. or nearby).

That’s good because I would never dream of calling that bunch of trigglypuff snowflake pussies ‘Sooners’.

That was the story I heard in American History about 60 years ago.

Probably some of the same snot nosed, pimple faced cup cakes that have been calling on behalf of Oklahoma Stewardship lobbying against the Right to Farm Bill.

I hope I scared at least one of them.

I always thought Sooner an appropriate moniker for people from OU. It fits well in many cases.
