Premature hubris?

Still have my “SC Repeat” t-shirts(two for five bucks) bought after the "06 Rose Bowl. Classic.

I have 3 of those shirts as well, absolut. I gave some away as Christmas gag gifts too. I’ve waited for years for someone to correct me on the shirt when I wear it, but it has never happened.

I actually saw a commercial today pitching a commemorative football that celebrated “your national champion Oklahoma Sooners,” all for the low, low cost of $129. Seriously.

At least the little Haitian kids will be well-dressed in Sooner gear this year.

Well, you DO know what a Sooner is, right?

“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."

Thief, brigand, criminal – they all fit.
