Schooner sculpture sales support scholarships
First introduced as part of regular University of Oklahoma functions in 1964, the Sooner Schooner became an official OU mascot in 1980. Since then, the unique covered wagon mascot has become synonymous with the excitement of OU football games. OU fans stand and give thunderous applause as the Schooner’s team of matching ponies, Boomer and Sooner, power it on Owen Field in a victory ride after OU scores.
