The Oklahoma Sooners are a perennial powerhouse college football team. Sooner Football in Oklahoma is considered by many to be THE football team for the state of Oklahoma, though some in Stillwater might disagree. In Oklahoma, OU Football is like a religion, and chants like “BOOMER SOONER” are the hymns and scripture to Sooner fans. In autumn, Saturday afternoons in Norman can be enjoyed on the campus covered in a sea of crimson and cream. Tailgaters line the streets around Gaylord Memorial, and the camaraderie among fans creates an atmosphere unlike any other. From the first blast of a ruffnek shotgun, to the last trip of the Sooner Schooner, the tradition of Oklahoma Sooner football is unrivaled. The Oklahoma Sooners are one of the most competitive football teams in the NCAA year in and year out. The Sooners have won 7 National championships, and 5 Heisman Trophy winners are Sooners. Since the induction of the B.C.S. in 1998, the Sooners have made an appearance in 7 B.C.S. bowl games, which is currently tied with USC and Ohio State for most appearances since the founding of the B.C.S. Two of the BCS appearances were in the National Championship game. In total, the Sooners are 24-17-1 in Bowl appearances. They are among the winningest college football programs in the country with a winning percentage of .698 over a total of 1140 games in Sooner football history.
