Boomer and Sooner

Mick Cottom, a freshman Ruf/Nek member from Liberty Mounds, Oklahoma, has the distinction of being the first person to pilot the Schooner across Owen Field in 1964.

Darby Dean became the first woman to drive the Sooner Schooner during the Bedlam football game on November 21, 2020.

Non-animal mascots were needed to represent the University of Oklahoma at certain athletic contests, charity events and children's hospitals.

They represent the two crème white ponies that pull the Sooner Schooner,[4] a Conestoga wagon across Owen Field in a victory ride after every OU score.

Boomer has competed in Universal Cheer Association National Competition for 4 years, placing 2nd in 2012.
