Sooner Fan Primer
Few football programs can set out each fall with the pursuit of the national crown realistically listed among its season goals. Oklahoma, riding a history that makes such a pursuit more than talk and more than dreams, is one of those programs. When it comes to national championships, the Sooners have "been there, done that" ... seven times.
