Boomer Sooner - Outstanding History
Great candid account of the first 25 years of Oklahoma University football. Mr. Keith interviewed many of the original players and coaches to get first hand accounts of the beginnings of a great tradition. I was astonded and amused, over and over again, at the stories regarding the first games, the rules, the plays (anyone remember the "flying wedge"?, the fan involvement, and the antics of the original Sooner squad. This book covers not just O.U.'s beginnings on the gridiron, but also football's beginnings as this new game caught fire in the Indian Territory.
