There are lines near then end of “Boomer Sooner” — the University of Oklahoma’s iconic fight song:
I’m a Sooner born and a Sooner bred
and when I die, I’ll be Sooner dead
Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma
Rah Oklahoma, OK U!
Like all true Okies, I was raised to love this team until I die.
Well, Rich, turns out it killed me.
Will things get better? Yes. Indubitably.
Oklahoma invented championships. Oklahoma invented winning. We’ll be back. We’ll set things right. And when we do, we’ll bury Texas. As per tradition.
