Oklahoma was still a U.S. territory when the Red River Shootout began...

Yes, and that goes back to when OU decided to pick it's team nickname.

The Oklahoma Territory opened settlements to Pioneers with actual land claims races in the late 1800's. Thousands of these Pioneers made their way to the OK territories to race for their claims. Each race actually began with a pistol shot, and those who jumped the gun were called Sooners.

And for the lot of those Pioneers, well they were all called Boomers.

In 1984, the state of Utah became so irate at comments made by Barry Switzer regarding BYU's National Championship that they actually named a sewage treatment plant after him.

Actually, I have no doubts the OP knew about that but there may be some of you who didn't.

24 teams have won a natty since the last time Michigan won one(even retards know 97 goes to Nebraska), and that's not including the splits(so depending on who you're talking to, you could possibly add Washington and Georgia Tech and remove Colorado)

You are so wrong about this.
Every Michigan fan I've ever asked says that Michigan was the true champ in '97.

I say "see ya in Blacksburg" , every time I flush my sewage.

I've lived in Jacksonville and Tampa and I have two kids who grew up Gator fans and two who are in Tallahassee...Providing many opportunities to drive past Gainesville...

When my kids are in the car, I never miss the opportunity to take a big sniff and say "What's that smell" whenever close to the Gainesville exit...gets a groan every time...Dad jokes never get old.
