Details of Oklahoma Sooners and the Ticket Luck value

Oklahoma Sooners
The University of Oklahoma features 17 varsity sports teams. Both men's and women's teams are called the Sooners, a nickname given to individuals who participated in the land rushes which initially opened the Oklahoma Indian Territory to non-native settlement by entering early and hiding out until the legal time of entry in order to lay quick claim to some of the most choice homesteads. They participate in the NCAA's Division I-A, in the South Division of the Big 12 Conference. The University's current athletic director is Joe Castiglione.

The University of Oklahoma was a charter member of the Southwest Athletic Conference (SWC) during its formation in 1914. Five years later, in 1919, OU left the SWC and joined the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association. In 1928, this conference split, and OU remained aligned with the teams that formed the Big Six Conference. Over the next 30 years, more schools were added and the conference underwent several name changes, incrementing the number each time up to the Big Eight Conference where it remained until 1996. Four more universities were added then and the name was changed one more time to its current form: the Big 12 Conference.

The Sooners have been a dominant force, when it comes to the college football scene, since the 1920's. Calling Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium at Owen Field its home, the team has won numerous bowl games, 40 conference championships (including every Big Seven championship awarded), and seven Associated Press National Championships, making the Sooners the most decorated program in the Big 12. Oklahoma has scored the 2nd most points in Division I-A football history despite the fact they have played over 60 games fewer than the highest scoring school on that list. OU also has the highest winning percentage of any team since the start of the AP poll in 1936.

The Sooners possess seven national championships in football, with the 1950, 1955, 1956, 1974, 1975, 1985, and 2000 seasons featuring the top team in the Associated Press final poll, and the 2000 Bowl Championship Series National Championship as well. This tie Alabama for the most national titles of any Division I college football team after the end of World War II. The men's basketball team is highly successful and rose to national prominence since the early 80's with head coach Billy Tubbs and three times All-American power forward Wayman Tisdale. It currently plays in the Lloyd Noble Center, which came to be known as the house Alvan Adams built and Tisdale filled. While the team has never won a national championship, it ranks second in most tournament wins without a championship behind Illinois.

The men's gymnastics program at OU has been a dominant force in collegiate gymnastics this decade. The program, headed by coach Mark Williams, has won four of the last five NCAA Men's Gymnastics championships, winning the title in 2002, 2003, 2005 and 2006. They won the 2006 title with very little experience on the team as 50% of the members were freshmen and just 21% were upperclassmen (seven freshmen, four sophomores, one junior, and two seniors). The good performance of the men's gymnastics team is not new; teams from OU also won national championships in 1977, 1978, and 1991.

The Oklahoma Baseball tradition is long, proud and storied, with two National Championships in 1951 and 1994, along with numerous All-Americans. Their home field is L. Dale Mitchell Baseball Park, named after famed player Dale Mitchell. The current coach is Sunny Golloway. The baseball program was a source of recent controversy when the head coach, Larry Cochell, resigned after making racially insensitive remarks about one of the players on the team. In 2002, Oklahoma was ranked as the 3rd best college sports program in America by Sports Illustrated.

During the 2005-2006 season, the Sooners were given a home regional at L. Dale Mitchell Park and were named the #1 seed. They beat the University of Houston, Texas Christian University, and Wichita State University to win the regional and advanced to a Super Regional where they were defeated by Rice University in a best-of-three series. Oregon State University went on to win the College World Series that year.

On May 10, 2007 the University announced the addition of women's rowing to the intercollegiate athletics program. A rowing facility will be built on the Oklahoma River near downtown Oklahoma City and is expected to be completed in 2009. A coach and staff will be hired during the 2007/08 academic year with recruitment beginning after that.
