1889 -

50,000 people lined up to claim land in the new Oklahoma territory. Land could not be claimed until after noon of April 22nd. Most folks cheated and went out early. They were called "Sooners." Rather than condemning these dirty cheats, The University of Oklahoma embraced them and made them their mascot

1950s - OU hit by the NCAA for paying tuition to players that had already graduated.

1960s- Slush Fund Scandal. NCAA Sanctions

1970s - Multiple NCAA violations, Bowl Bans, TV Bans, falsfying transcripts to earn eligibility for players

1980s - Barry Switzer goes beast mode. The Boz and Charles Thompson getting paid. Players dealing drugs. Girl gets gang raped in the OU athletic dorm.

OU conducts an "internal investigation" and declares themselves innocent. Ex-players fess up to the NCAA anyway.







1990s - OU stops cheating and is not competitive the entire decade.


2000s - Bob Stoops . . .one title . . .Rhett Bomar gets paid big bucks at Big Red Autos. More NCCA penalties and sanctions.

OU administration responds by "banning players from working at auto dealerships."

2010's -

Joe Mixon shatters a girls face. The Norman police department hides the video. OU President David Boren and Stoops watch the video and then allow Mixon to remain with the team. A lawsuit by local media forces the Norman PD to release the footage.

Bob Stoops does an interview with ESPN declaring that times have changed significantly in the 24 months since the incident happened and Mixon would certainly be kicked off the team in this new era of two years later.

Bob Stoops suddenly gets Urban Meyer heart issues and retires.



2020's - OU joins the SEC!!!


Can't wait to see what the future holds.

So, they'll fit in well in the SEC. As Sir Charles put it: If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.

Great Moments in Aggy Cheating:


They buy Eric Dickerson a Trans AM. He accepts it and goes to Southern Methodist.

Best thing about the Trans-Am was that A&M supposedly helped him acquire it and SMU agreed to absorb the note on the car as part of the winning bid. Talk about organized cheating!

They offered me Livestock!

I'm not in favor of shattering women's faces, but if I put my hands on Mixon like that he would have shattered my face too and no one would have cared because I don't have a vagina. Mixon used too much force when he retaliated, but I don't think he was wrong, in principle, for defending himself. If women want equality, getting your face shattered when you grab an elite athlete's neck comes with the territory.

Everybody is getting paid now. I don’t see many people getting probation any more.
