🐾Mascot: "Schooners"

Meet the Sooner Schooner, one of the most unique and iconic mascots in college sports, representing the University of Oklahoma. This isn't your average mascot – it's a scaled-down replica of a Conestoga wagon, the kind pioneers used to settle Oklahoma Territory. Introduced in 1964, the Sooner Schooner became the official mascot in 1980 and has been a staple at OU football games ever since. Here's the cool part: every time the Oklahoma Sooners score at a home game, the Schooner rolls out onto the field, driven by the RUF/NEKS and RUF/NEK Lil' Sis spirit squads 🚀. It's a tradition that's been going strong for over 58 seasons, and Oklahoma fans absolutely love it. So, if you ever find yourself at an OU game, keep an eye out for this historic and fun wagon making its way across the field 🏆
