- OU fans are extremely friendly and hospitable. Maybe the friendliest I’ve met. I think some of that had to do with the fact they fully expected to get beat, but still. They were stunned by how many people we brought and cracked jokes about how many orange opponents they have (Texas, Ok St). They hate Texas, but Texas isn’t in their heads to anywhere near the same degree as it is with A&M fans, and they aren’t weird like A&M.
- Auburn is a good comp for Norman as a town. Norman is larger and closer to a major city than Auburn, but walking around the campus, tailgate scene, etc, brings big Auburn vibes.
- I think their fans are more proud of their 7 Heismans than their 7 national titles. The statues of the 7 winners outside the stadium is neat.
- When loud, it’s definitely an upper tier SEC environment. It isn’t as loud as Neyland or Baton Rouge, but it’s loud. I think they’ll be a good fit in the SEC.
