Anyone else see it? We were sitting right in the corner, sec 19 row 4 and it was funny. Some junior Nek was leaning on his gun like a crutch, muzzle on the ground and BOOM!!! Talk about embarassed, the whole corner was laughing and the other Neks were giving him grief for 20 minutes.

I talked to one of the Ruk/Neks about that during the game. They make their own shells. Almost exclusively, they are reloads. Occasionally, they will get a shell where the primer cap won't fire exactly when hit by the firing pin. That was what happened. They'd fired the trigger and the shell didn't ignite for whatever reason. Out of safety, they point the gun at the ground and continue to try to fire it before breaking open the breach of the gun. This makes sense to at least try to fire the shell before opening the breach of the gun with a "hot" shell in it.

At least that is what a guy named "Jim" from the Neks told me.

Interesting story and it does make sense to do that. Sitting 25' away, I'm not sure that is what happened this time. The kid looked surprised as hell that it went off and he was seriously talked to by a few other Neks.

Getting a "talking to" is the last of his concerns. When I fired my first gun, I was told that it was a bad idea to point it "at" anyone with a badge. Useless trivia: A NEK shotgun is on display at the Smithsonian... your quest is to find out "why".

The NCAA took the old shotguns because they were so damn loud. The Ruf/Neks were able to hide one from the NCAA Nazis. I guess the NCAA destroyed the others and the Smithsonian wanted the very last ultra-loud ruf/nek gun.

I piece that together from rumors and a wild *** guess.

They eventually caught him, and put him on trial, but he got off after the glove the killer used didnt fit. Legend has it he still searches to this day, looking for the killer.

After he didn't find said killer, he retired to central Florida. Civil War broke out in the U.S, Russia nuked all the cities and he was forced to fight for survival in the countryside avoiding the U.S. federal gestappo. The one artifact that united the locals to rise up and fight for their freedoms was that Ruf/Nek shotgun. Rumor has it he travels world lines as a time traveler known as Jon Titor (pretty sure not his real name) trying to get back to that fateful day where the gun was stolen hoping to make a better life and future for us all.

or so I'm told.

No, no. That's not what I was told happened. A guy named AP (stands for All Day) got a Boomer Sooner ringtone from a Ruf/Nek shotgun. TRRW took a pole on how to handle it, and S************* got drunk and branded the longhorn mascot with ENA's initials. Right before the yearly ****** game. There was a man there, who was 40, and he dropped a newspaper next to one of the Ruf/neks shotguns, causing the FBI to get mad and confiscate all the shotguns, except one. Nobody knows the whereabouts of that one gun; it's rumored to be in some big building where they keep old stuff.

But that's garbage, and the person that posted it is garbage. Makes me wanna puke.

The FBI's Ebony Ninja Assassin plotted all day long to capture the elusive band of land thieves known as Ruf/Neks. However, Bob Barry called the action and messed up the names, because Ruf/Neks do not have names on the back of their jerseys. Therefore, after the Land Run cannon sounded in 1889, Superman flew over Chris Simms at OU-Texas to rescue the Ruf/Neks, but alas, only one gun was rescued with the Ruf/Neks. Hartley kicked it 70 yards and made it through the uprights, however, during the kickoff, Reggie fumbled, then Iglesias fumbled and thus, Josh Heupel did not win the shotgun that year but was given to a far older, less talented Smithsonian. Torrence Marshall swears that he is going to get his boy's shotgun back.

Truth of the matter is the 1958 Ruf-Nek shotgun is not in the Smithsonian, It's hanging in Vice-President Dick Cheney's office and was a gift to him from Bobby Knight before Dick's infamous hunting trip in Texas. Bobby received the famous Ruf-nek shotgun in the 70s on a recruiting trip to Burundi when he offered King Jaffe Joffer's son Akim a full ride scholarship to play basketball for UI. No one knows how the King came into possession of this famous ceremonial shotgun, but rumor has it that Joe Don Looney lost it to Jaffe when the river came up the king of diamonds in a wild Texas holdem card game in Nairobi. Drawing to a straight but left tapped out, Joe Don told the story of how this magical shotgun had led a famous tribe of which he was a member, to many victories over its enemies in the central regions of America in the 1950s. King Jaffe was so impressed with the magnificent weapon that he gave Joe Don his choice of any elephant from the royal herd which Joe Don subsequently took with him to India. The King then ordained Joe Don as the Bobba Zeba of Burundi which to this day translates to Red Magic and is the original origin of Sooner Magic.

You wanted to know how to get your own OU Ruf/Nek shotgun? Believe it; you can.

The Ruf/Nek's as a means of raising funds for expenses allows the sponsorship of a shotgun. You can (for a fee, of course) sponor a gun for a season. They'll allow you to get whatever you want written on the side (up to like 8 letters, and PC, of course). They'll in turn use the gun for the season, and at the end, you get the shotgun. I sponsored one back in 2003. It's one of my prized OU nick nacks. I'll warn you up front -it's not cheap. But, you'll also have something nearly no one else has.

You'd need to get in touch with the Ruf/Neks, and I'm not sure of that process. One of college buddies was a Ruf/Nek so that's how I got connected up.
