LOCATION: Owen Field at Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium
The Sooners have just put the finishing touches on a 49-17 shellacking of Oklahoma State, a win that clinched the Big XII South Championship. The scene is one of great celebration. Sooner players perform choreographed handshakes and scream "Boomer" with their forefinger raised high. Former players, like Jason White, Jamelle Hollieway, and Brian Bosworth congratulate the triumphant team. Meanwhile the coaches huddle to discuss the game, loudly saying things like, "They were better when this was their bowl game", or "Miles was a jerk, but at least they came to play back then" followed by derisive laughter.
