NORMAN | Sooner fans got an early gift on Tuesday, courtesy of the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. The bowl committee placed six billboards in the Oklahoma City metro area to welcome OU to the bowl game on New Year's Day.

The signs display a Tostitos Fiesta Bowl logo and an action shot of running back Adrian Peterson in addition to the welcome message:
 
"Congratulations, Oklahoma - Big 12 Conference Champions. See you in Glendale on Jan. 1."
 
No. 7 Oklahoma (11-2) departs on Christmas Day for Arizona. The game is slated for New Year's Day at 7:30 p.m. (CT) and will be televised nationally by FOX.
 
SoonerSports.com will provide daily bowl coverage throughout the week leading up to the game.
