Everyone who follows Oklahoma football, and even fans nationally, are familiar with the iconic Sooner Schooner.
It’s a one of a kind, as far as official mascots go, and is easily identifiable with Oklahoma football. But what is the Sooner Schooner story and what is its origin?
The conestoga wagon powered by two white ponies was introduced during the 1964 football season and since then has made thousands of trips across Owen Field in celebration of Oklahoma scoring drives. The iconic mascot is designed as a scaled-down replica of the Studebaker Conestoga wagon used by settlers of the Oklahoma territory during the time of the Oklahoma Land Run in the late 1800s.
