	Sooners - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the Oklahoma Historical Society (OHS), the term Sooners came into use in 1889, after the Unassigned Lands were settled in what was the first of the land runs.
		In 1908, the University of Oklahoma adopted 'Sooners' as the nickname of their football team (after having first tried 'Rough Riders' and 'Boomers').
		Oklahoma native and Sooners fan, Jim Ross (Good Ol' J.R.) of World Wrestling Entertainment, uses Boomer Sooner as his entrance music when he appears infront of the crowd.

	SOONERS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		"SOONER." Sooner is the name first applied about six months after the Land Run of 1889 to people who entered the Oklahoma District (Unassigned Lands) before the designated time.
		Illegal claimants were initially called "moonshiners," because they entered the area "by the light of the moon." Sooners or moonshiners hid out in brush or ravines, then suddenly appeared to stake a claim after the run started, giving them clear advantage over law-abiding settlers who made the run from the borders.
		As might be expected, the clamor against sooners resulted in numerous contests and appeals to the General Land Office and in unclear title to some claims for many years.
