Heard the Sooner Legends Inn and Suites commercial today...thought it was going to be the Superman one about TRRW but it wasn't. It was about Cecil.
Cecil Samara, OU's#1 Fan. Man I miss that guy and that bullhorn. Every game we would walk to the stadium from our house near the Mont and I would always have my Dad lead us down Brooks to where the red Model T was parked, right in front of the Stadium and Field House, blaring Boomer Sooner over and over and over and over...then during the game, I always made sure I listened for Cecil's bullhorn coming from about the 15 yard line, just below the students on the northeast side. His gravel voice scared the hell out of me but I still wanted to hear it. I remember hearing him in the background on the radio while Mike Treps called away games on the Sooner Network. Made me smile knowing Cecil was there.
I gotta think 'ole Cecil would be darn pleased with Joe C, Bob and the program right now.
How cool would it have been to hear Cecil on the Jtron, cracklin on his bullhorn, "There's only ONE Oklahoma!"
Cecil, R.I.P.
