Todd just passed along a cool link -- the Sooner Awards. Hats off to whoever created the site -- it looks phenomenal. For examples, check out a couple of the player pages (Quentin Griffin, Teddy Lehman). Definitely one of those "why didn't I think of that" designs!
By the way, ever wonder what in the heck a Sooner is? Check out the "Sooner History and Traditions" page. "The Oklahoma Territory opened with the Land Run of 1889. Settlers from across the country, seeking free land, made their way to the Plains to stake their claim to a new life. One of the few rules to claiming a parcel of land was that all participants were to start at the same time, on the boom of a cannon. All settlers who started then were labeled as Boomers and those who went too soon were called Sooners." Thus the Oklahoma rally cry of Boomer Sooner.  So.....is Todd a "boomer" or a "sooner"??? ;-) ¤ ¤ credit: Tracy | 09.04.02 at 08:59 PM | link- -this ¤ ¤ Definitely a Boomer! ;-p ¤ ¤ credit: robyn | 09.04.02 at 09:09 PM | link--this ¤ ¤No Sooner Spooner award? ¤ ¤ credit: btezra | 09.04.02 at 10:23 PM | link--this ¤ ¤
