as in this game will be over sooner rather than later.
2 :
You're an Oklahoma fan.
3 :
sooner not later!
4 :
A sooner is someone who jumped the land rush in oklahoma.
5 :
WVU is going to kill them like I said before. 35-17
6 :
The US government would grant land ownership to those who would get to a claim first and settle it. This was part of the Homestead act and encourage people to move west. They would literally line people up on horses, fire a weapon into the air and begin a race. If you got to a claim first, it was yours. If you started early, you could be shot. If you went to "soon" you were a "sooner". So it pretty much is someone going before the official start of the race. So cheater is synonymous.
7 :
The sooners were the people who jumped the gun on land runs (like the one in the movie Far and Away with Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman). That's where the college team gets its name.
8 :
The name 'Sooner' came from when the US Gov't. allowed people to homestead land in Oklahoma during the Cherokee Strip Land Rush. A 'Sooner' was someone who had jumped the gun before the government said 'go'.
9 :
Sooner is retarded. I dont know what the mascot looks like or what it "is"...but I do know that they are going to lose sooner than they wanted to.
10 :
well, historically...... a Sooner is a cheater..... isn't it ironic how true that it is still today?
