Oklahoma’s star quarterback, Baker wasn’t there for a Bedlam match. He added an hour onto his trip back to Norman from Austin, as he prepared to start the new semester at OU. His purpose for the extra travel: to surprise Baillie Burmaster.
Baillie, a senior at Oklahoma State, and Baker form the unlikeliest of couples. Conditioned to love OSU and loathe all things Sooner, Baillie, a former OSU soccer player, has deviated from the path of her upbringing. Although still a diehard OSU fan, she does love one thing about OU: Baker. She and Mayfield have been dating since January.
