Know Your Sooners No. 1

June 27, 2008 | Athletics

NORMAN, Okla. -- SoonerSports.com is proud to introduce Know Your Sooners, a new feature designed to better acquaint you with those who wear the Crimson & Cream.
 
We select a mix of OU student-athletes and staff members to provide insight into their lives away from sports. Some topics might be serious, some might be funny, and some might just be completely random, but that's the point.
