Costumed Mascots
Prior to the 2005 football season two new mascots, based on the ponies who pull the Schooner, were created. These new mascots are named, appropriately, Boomer and Sooner and are dressed in costumes of two identical crème white ponies (except for eye color). Fans reaction to the new Boomer and Sooner mascots have been mixed. Some Oklahoma fans say that the mascots look more like pigs than the horses they are to resemble. Another reason for negative fan reaction is that Boomer and Sooner replaced the much beloved Top Daug at Oklahoma basketball games. Boomer has competed in Universal Cheer Association National Competition for 4 years, placing 2nd in 2012.
