Bradford to Attend OU-Texas Men's Basketball Game

Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback will be recognized during Feb. 9 'Cheer Like a Champion Night.'

The University of Oklahoma announced today it will welcome home and celebrate Sooner Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford during "Cheer Like a Champion Night" on Wednesday, Feb. 9, when the OU men's basketball team hosts Big 12 rival Texas at 8 p.m. at Lloyd Noble Center.

All fans will receive a free "Cheer Like a Champion" T-shirt to wear to "white out" Lloyd Noble Center for the ESPN2 national TV audience. Also, one lucky fan will have the chance to win $10,000 by hitting a halftime half-court shot.

The first 5,000 fans through the doors will also receive a commemorative Sam Bradford poster. Throughout the game, randomly selected fans will win autographed Bradford merchandise and posters. Bradford will be recognized at center court during halftime for a look back at his playing days while at OU.

Fans are encouraged to arrive early as doors will open at 6:30 p.m. Seats can be purchased for this exciting night by clicking here or by calling 800-456-4668.

Note: Due to the inability to handle large demand, an autograph session will not be included as part of Bradford's appearance.

bump.

[yermom]

what are the odds on this one making?

[OUmillenium]

60-50

[bri]

I'd say pretty good. There's way more moving parts for this game than the Baylor one; it'd be harder to postpone.

[BusterRhymes86]

There will be a lot of unused white tshirts then

[Eielson]

Texas better hope it gets cancelled!

Wow, that was fun to say.

[yankee]

Bri, do you think I'm going to be able to walk up and buy a student ticket on game day?

[bri]

Yep, you should be able to. Might want to swing by the ticket office today or tomorrow just in case, tho.

[StoopTroup]

It's to bad Suh didn't come with him. We could have given him an award for playing in the Big XII.

[Soonerite]

So...if we win we're rushing the court right?

[Boomer.....]

You're damn right we are!

[badger]

We totally are winning this one. Screw the odds, screw the whorns.

[Soonerite]

We totally are winning this one. Screw the odds, screw the whorns.

Hell yeah we are!! Prepare to get maced in the face when we rush the court!

If they cancel school, they're probably going to move/postpone this game. The Pokes already announced they're staying home from school tomorrow. OU probably will be soon after.

[bri]

School's canceled; the game is on. Talked to Mike Houck this evening and we are go for hoop, y'all.

Plus, you know, this "killer storm" is a dud.

[Bourbon St Sooner]

I saw a report from OKC on the local news this morning. They were really trying to play up those 6 inch snow drifts. Didn't look bad to me. Let's hoop and kick some whorn ***!
