OU football: Meet the family that always comes in first at fan day

NORMAN — Jared Cunningham sat against the concrete wall beneath a closed concession stand. It was the finish line, and he had won yet again.

For the past 16 years, Cunningham and his sons have been first in line at the quarterbacks table on the annual Meet the Sooners Day. Beating him next year won’t be easy. Cunningham parked his lawn chair outside the Gaylord Family — Oklahoma Memorial Stadium gates at 3 a.m. Friday. It was there the lawyer from Enid sat as the dead of night turned to dawn.

Cunningham’s wife, April, and two of their three sons arrived 15 minutes before the gates opened at noon.
