I understand where people might think the "Boomer" cheer was disrepectful to Sam in his special time. Other thoughts? I kinda thought it was a hoot but I see where people are coming from.

I heard him yelling Boomer but I didn't think much about it. At least not until the guys on WWLS went on and on and on and on about it Monday morning. I got sick of them talking about it and re-playing it over and over.

Beating a dead horse is what sports talk (and all talk radio in general) is all about.

I think it was okay the first few times... what I thought was funny is that no one (not even Sam) gave him a 'Sooner' back until he had done it at least seven times!

I guess this is another testimony to the fact that persistence pays off... eventually. In the meantime, I'll have to admit that Sims' enthusiasm was just a tad annoying.

Regardless whatever else happened, good for Sam!

Aren't we talking about a room full of jocks??

This isn't some presidential award ceremony or someone receiving the nobel peace prize, I think it is funny how they try and make it all stuffy.

It is a great award though, but lets keep it in perspective. We are talking about a football award ceremony.

Boomer, Sooner!

i think it was pretty embarrassing. he did the same thing when jason white won the award.

Kinda surprised he didn't bust out "It's not BBQ it's Boomer Q!"

Jocks? The only 3 jocks were the nominees who are still in college. The rest are grown men, none who still play professionally, dressed in suits in a historical theater for the most prestigious award in college sports. Nobel prize? Hardly, but it aint the state fair. Show some class and respect. And the, "Sooner or later we'll git ya," comment, thats awful.

Truly classless and showed ignorance and stupidity for Billy and may give outsiders more reason to hate OU and think we fell of the Turnip truck. Geeezzzz..............Go figure?

Now that's funny.
