It's been 10 years since De'Mond Parker last set foot on the University of Oklahoma campus. That's way too long for a former Sooner star to be away!
So Sooner Spectator is excited to announce Mr. Parker will our autograph guest next Saturday, Nov. 1, at our tent on historic Campus Corner. He will join us at 3 p.m. and sign (and take pictures) until 5:30 p.m.
You probably recall Parker ran for 291 yards (3 yards short of Greg Pruitt's single-game OU record) against Texas in 1997. He finished fourth on the Sooners' all-time rushing list with 3,403 yards, just over 700 yards shy of Joe Washington's team standard... Parked left for the NFL after the 1998 season, opting to forgo his senior season.
He is excited about his first trip back in a while. And we will be doing a feature story on him in an upcoming issue.
If you can't make it by to see De'Mond Parker at the Sooner Spectator tent before the OU-Nebraska game Saturday, you can still get Mr Parker's autographed poster for $20. We will sell any extras while supplies last. Just contact Kristie at our toll free number (877)
841-8877 and she can get you fixed up!
We also have some back stock of other autographers we've hosted this season, like Thomas Lott, Lydell Carr, Eddie Hinton, J.D. Roberts and D.J. Wolfe. Those are either signed on posters or pictures and they are $20 as well. They make great Christmas gifts, or better yet get your favorite Sooner fan a 1-year subscription to Sooner Spectator ($39.95) and get your choice of autographed item free!
Stay tuned for more info coming this week!
