I'd rather he sticks a fork in that guy's throat.
December 13th, 2008 at 9:04 PM ^
Tebow looked like he was going to cry.
December 13th, 2008 at 9:13 PM ^
I didnt get it at all. What the hell was "boomer" supposed to mean and who the hell was shouting it?
December 13th, 2008 at 9:16 PM ^
What did he say?
December 13th, 2008 at 9:18 PM ^
It's a chant that Sooner fans do, it may have been Billy Sims up there on the stage.
December 13th, 2008 at 9:20 PM ^
I thought Chris Berman made a surprise entrance or something...
Boomer Sooners.
December 14th, 2008 at 1:02 AM ^
It was Billy Sims.. he did it the last time an Oklahoma QB won. Billy Sims is crazy
December 14th, 2008 at 9:04 AM ^
Didn't Billy Sims sell his Heisman for crack money several years ago? Guess he hasn't kicked that habit yet.
December 14th, 2008 at 11:45 AM ^
Uhhh, no.
December 14th, 2008 at 1:44 PM ^
Oh sorry. He pawned it to pay child support. My bad, I was waaaaay off
December 14th, 2008 at 1:53 PM ^
Actually he kept it. Why are you so hell bent on insulting Billy Sims? By all accounts he went through an insane stupid stretch and got his life back on track... good for him.
December 14th, 2008 at 2:00 PM ^
Because I feel (like a lot of other people) that he acted like a jerk-off last night, and tried to steal the thunder of an 18 year old kid. He acted like an idiot. That's getting your life back on track?
December 14th, 2008 at 2:09 PM ^
Yes, he acted classless last night. Is that any reason to bring up decade old personal problems that he admirably has been able to get past? As mentioned in another thread, Rick Leach had a drug problem during his baseball career... if someone tried to use that to discredit him, wouldn't we rightfully think they were being an idiot?
December 14th, 2008 at 2:15 PM ^
You start a post saying Bradford should sue the guy who yelled Boomer and now you're offended someone agreed that the guy who yelled it was out of line and has exhibited a history of doing stupid things? WTF man?
December 14th, 2008 at 2:30 PM ^
Because you took it beyond yelling "Boomer" and brought up totally unrelated problems.
December 14th, 2008 at 5:48 PM ^
Those problems are far more related to Billy than your original post is to Michigan Football.
December 13th, 2008 at 9:25 PM ^
yelling Boomer...he was trying to get Sam to yell Sooner. He sounded dumb though.
December 13th, 2008 at 9:26 PM ^
On a related note, "Boomer Sooner" is THE standard-bearer when it comes to incredibly obnoxious, repetitive fight songs that are massively overused by the marching band. USC's and OSU's are not even in the same ballpark.
December 13th, 2008 at 10:25 PM ^
so, kinda like "Rocky Top"?
December 13th, 2008 at 10:28 PM ^
Worse. "Rocky Top" is at least a fairly complex, varied piece of music. "Boomer Sooner" is just the same two lines over and over.
December 13th, 2008 at 10:43 PM ^
shit, dude...
December 13th, 2008 at 11:05 PM ^
We need to co-opt "Rocky Top"... "Ann Arbor, you'll always beeee home sweet home to meeeee"
December 14th, 2008 at 2:00 PM ^
Not to mention that the OU band plays it after like every third play.
December 13th, 2008 at 11:50 PM ^
perdue's BOILER UP!!
December 14th, 2008 at 12:35 AM ^
WAH WAH boiler up
December 13th, 2008 at 9:52 PM ^
That was ridiculous. What an embarrasment for Sam and Billy. Sam was walking up there, humble and all while some guy was just shouting at him (I was like "shut up!!!!"). Billy was embarrased because Sam wouldn't yell Sooner until the very last second, just to get him to shut up.

Yeah Sims did that a few years ago as well when Jason White won. Oklahoma then preceded to lose the MNC game by about 200 points. And Ashlee Simpson got booed off the stage at halftime by grouchy Sooner fans. Will we get a repeat this year?
December 14th, 2008 at 12:16 AM ^
no, this is far worse. Here's the write-up and lyrics from the Oklahoma website. Pretty "inventive" stuff:
In 1905, Arthur M. Alden, a student in history and physiology whose father was a Norman jeweler, wrote the lyrics to the fight song, borrowing the tune from Yale University's 'Boola Boola' but improvising the words. A year later, an addition was made to it from North Carolina's 'I'm a Tarheel Born' and the two combined to form the university's fight song today. One of the most recognizable college fight songs in the country, 'Boomer Sooner' immediately evokes enthusiasm from OU fans and sends chills down the spines of those who dare to oppose them.
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner
Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner
Boomer Sooner, OK U!
Oklahoma, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, Oklahoma
Oklahoma, OK U!
I'm a Sooner born and Sooner bred
and when I die, I'll be Sooner dead
Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma
Rah Oklahoma, OK U!

that guy yelling boomer kind of ruined the mood of the ceremony. he did it close to 10 times
December 14th, 2008 at 12:57 AM ^
That was the best part of the whole thing!
I loved that he did it that many times, I thought it was some dumb fan that got in, but it made it awesome that it was from on stage. I was laughing my ass off. And what was with the intros? All of the older guys from like the 70s had like hand guestures
