You're so wrong.

You're going to hell.

I keep telling myself I'm moving on
Believing my heart was strong
But every step I take that leads me away
Just circles back to your door

Wishing I didn't love you
What I'd give if I could touch you

Wishing I didn't love you anymore

I don't get either cheer which is kind of why I made the poll.

While were at it could fans of the respective teams post the origins of these proud school traditions.

OH IO. That cheer kicks butt. It is pretty much the only thing that connects Ohioans with each other.

i haven't even heard the Boomer Soooner one but then again i rarely watch Sooner football. Why are there only 2 choices? That annoying gator chomp thing deserves to be up there, that is way worse than OH-IO imo.

The Song

The Chant

The history (from SoonerSports.com):

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.

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. Though the tune was first made known by Yale, the everlasting success of Sooner squads has taken the melody of 'Boomer Sooner' to national popularity.

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!


And if you are an OU fan and don't know what a Boomer or a Sooner are, then you better have these or it's gonna be a long life:


I keep telling myself I'm moving on
Believing my heart was strong
But every step I take that leads me away
Just circles back to your door

Wishing I didn't love you
What I'd give if I could touch you

Wishing I didn't love you anymore

Just because they are both "OSU", and I find their chants equally bad. The gator chomp at least makes since, because you know cause the mascot is an alligator.

I'm still waiting to hear the origins of "OH - IO".

Renae is doing a better job of being a knowledgeable fan than the people who put up 10 pages in the OSU thread. Come on guys, step it up.

OHHHHHH NO THEY'RE NOT. Seriously Bob/God is gonna send you straight to hell.



OU is different from OSU which is better than the buckin' fuckeyes.

And the OU chant makes sense because the team is the Sooners, duh.

Those are schooners.

I realize you're probably behind on the rich white guy hobbies, you know being black and all, but you should look it up sometime. tongue.gif





Sooners was a derogatory (at first) term for those who illegally staked a claim in the land rush of the Oklahoma Territory before the official opening.

Boomers are people who migrate to a town or area that is growing from a sudden increase in prosperity (ie, a boom) like the land rush or the oil boom of Oklahoma.

You went and ruined a potential joke by getting all literal tongue.gif

You do win for knowing more than Ohio State fans about your schools history and tradition. That and you posted girls with nice boobs.

I believe that's the state that the University of Ohio State is located in, though I have nothing to back that up on.


Also, Boomer Sooner is way worse. Probably because most tards who like Oklahoma and their cocksucker of a coach(who should've been Iowa's coach instead of Ferentz) think that Boomer and Sooner actually rhyme.
I'm also fed up with the common cold but I just hate to say goodbye.
