    What's your connection to The University of Oklahoma?

    What is everyone's connection to OU? Did you go to school at OU? Just like football? Live in Norman?

    Just curious to how everyone wound up connected to OU.

    I've been going to football and basketball games for most of my life, decided to go to school here and graduated last May.

    Attended back in 1994-1996. Due to a general lack of direction, I went off to pee on as many different parts of the country as possible. Landed back here to raise a family.

    I don’t know if the block on that last one was due to low trajectory or if the guys up front didn’t hold their ground well enough. I’m not convinced it matters. We have every reason to believe the ball could have gone through the uprights and the refs would have signaled first down Oregon. - D.E.

    Graduated in '09 after 6 years of undergrad. Now in grad school.

    FYI: Pick a good major early. Don't change to something completely different halfway through.

    Oh, and lifelong fan.

    Looks like other factors may have been involved.

    Born into a family of rabid Sooner fans in Oklahoma, alumna, married to a fellow alum. I haven't lived in OK in a long time, but watching my beloved Sooners always makes me feel close to home.
