Boomer and Sooner: More than Just Mascots, They're Family

By admin

The Oklahoma Sooners mascot is an important symbol and representative of the University of Oklahoma's athletic teams. The mascot, known as Boomer and Sooner, is a cherished figure among fans and supporters of the university's sports programs. Boomer and Sooner are two real horses that have been trained to pull the Sooner Schooner, a wagon used during home football games. This tradition dates back to the 1960s and has become an iconic symbol of the university's football program. The horses are a beloved part of the game-day experience and are cheered on by fans as they gallop around the field after each touchdown. The sight of Boomer and Sooner running alongside the Schooner is a thrilling moment for both the fans and the athletes.

      Reviews for "The Oklahoma Sooners Mascot: Bridging the Gap between Students and Athletes"

      1. John - ★☆☆☆☆
      I have to say I was completely disappointed with the Oklahoma Sooners mascot. It was just a big, creepy looking horse with a weird grin. It didn't have any charm or personality. I couldn't help but feel uncomfortable whenever the mascot was around. It definitely didn't inspire any team spirit in me. Overall, I think they could really improve their mascot choice.
      2. Sarah - ★★☆☆☆
      As a fan of the Oklahoma Sooners, I was really hoping for a more exciting and energetic mascot. Unfortunately, the current mascot just falls flat. It lacks creativity and uniqueness. I think it's time for a mascot evolution that reflects the spirit and culture of the Oklahoma Sooners better. We deserve a mascot that can ignite the crowd and motivate the team!
      3. Michael - ★★☆☆☆
      I don't understand why the Oklahoma Sooners couldn't come up with a more iconic and recognizable mascot. The current mascot is forgettable and doesn't really stand out among other college mascots. It feels outdated and doesn't capture the essence of what it means to be a Sooner. I believe the university should consider rebranding their mascot to create a more memorable symbol of pride and passion for fans like myself.
      4. Emily - ★☆☆☆☆
      The Oklahoma Sooners mascot is just plain boring. It lacks originality and fails to bring any excitement to the game or the fans. It's just another generic animal mascot. I expected something more dynamic and inspiring. Come on, Oklahoma Sooners, you can do better than this! Give us a mascot that we can truly rally behind and be proud of.
