Boomer Sooner!

At the Autism Center of Tulsas Smarts and Arts trivia game fundraiser last Friday a University of Oklahoma football helmet signed by head coach Bob Stoops was one of the top items in the Silent Auction.

Fellow blogger and chair of the event, Jonni, demonstrates how the helmet is used. As you can tell from her shirt Jonni is a Sooner. Don’t feel sorry for though as she has mostly overcome that.

    Difficult to make a pithy comment as I didn’t understand half this post! Apologies, it’s because I’m English.
    What’s a “Sooner” and “silent auction”?
    What I did understand was it was a money-raiser – I hope the people present were very generous for a worthy cause.

    @Leedslass – Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sooners for explanation of what Sooners and Boomers are. Items from Oklahoma history.
    A silent auction is like a regular auction except the bids are submitted in writing. So many different items can be auctioned simultaneously.
    And yes, thank you, the fund raiser did really well. Jonni, the young lady in the photo, was the chairperson for the event.

    Even though I’m an OU alumni, I’ve never had a desire to collect football memorabilia. Don’t know why, just never have.
    Still, the Sooner helmet is a perfect Ruby Tuesday object.

    May I remind your readers that Oklahoma State is currently ranked number 2 the University of Oklahoma is ranked number 6. I just had to throw that in. (Chuckle, chuckle)

    You’re being mischievious Bill, throwing the cat amongst the pigeons like that. I love your sense of humour though:-)

    Thanks for the guidance on Sooners and Boomers Alan.
