Be Loud, Be Proud, Be Sooner: The Heartbeat of Oklahoma
There’s a sound you can’t describe — only feel. It rolls in with the drumline, thunders through the bleachers, and surges like electricity from the tunnel to the field. It’s the chant. The stomp. The soul of a state.
It’s Sooner Nation. And it’s alive.
Be Loud.
That’s not a suggestion — it’s tradition. Whether it’s 100 degrees in September or freezing in December, the fans show up in crimson and cream with a fire that doesn’t flicker. From the opening kickoff to the final whistle, they’re on their feet, shaking the foundations of Gaylord Family–Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. And it’s not just noise — it’s legacy. This is the roar that once fueled legends like Selmon, Bosworth, and Mayfield. It’s the sound that makes freshmen feel invincible and opponents feel overwhelmed.
In Norman, noise is passion. It’s pride. It’s payback.
Be Proud.
Being a Sooner isn’t about just winning — it’s about how you win. It’s about discipline, toughness, and a relentless refusal to back down. It’s about playing for something bigger — not just for a university, but for a people, a place, and a promise.
Pride pulses through the veins of every fan and player. Whether it’s Patty Gasso’s softball dynasty dominating diamond after diamond, Brent Venables forging a new gridiron era, or the track stars, gymnasts, and golfers breaking records and boundaries, there’s a throughline: excellence earned, never handed.
Walk through campus on game day, and it’s not just a tailgate — it’s a family reunion. Generations of Sooners, from toddlers in jerseys to 80-year-olds who remember Barry Switzer’s first game, wear the same colors, shout the same chants, and share the same unshakable belief: This is where champions are built.
Be Sooner.
To be a Sooner is to carry the weight and glory of a storied legacy. It’s more than football. More than the stadium. More than the wins. It’s a code. A way of life.
It’s the pride of pioneers who chased opportunity before Oklahoma was even a state. It’s the grit of players who weren’t the biggest or fastest, but fought like hell anyway. It’s the unity of a fanbase that doesn’t care where you’re from — only what you stand for.
Being a Sooner means walking with legends, bleeding for your brothers and sisters, and knowing the name on the front of the jersey carries more than history — it carries honor.
So when the sun sets over Owen Field and the lights come on, it’s not just a game — it’s a statement.
To every player who puts on the jersey, every coach who walks the sideline, every fan who never misses a Saturday:
Be Loud. Be Proud. Be Sooner.
Because in Oklahoma, this isn’t just college sports —
It’s who we are.
