Good advice from OU President Boren

University of Oklahoma President David Boren is urging OU football supporters to show Notre Dame fans the same kindness that Sooner fans bestow on other visitors to Norman. It’s a good move by Boren.

Notre Dame hasn’t played a game in Norman in 46 years, but the Fighting Irish did snap OU’s record 47-game win streak back in 1957. Some Sooner fans are still sore over that. Others just don’t like the Irish program, for whatever reason, as has been clear on radio talk shows and was reflected in an Oklahoman story Monday that gave OU fans a chance to vent.

There’s no accounting for knuckleheads, but our guess is Oklahoma fans will heed Boren’s advice and do as they always do, which is to root for the Sooners and treat the visitors in a way that leaves them impressed with the hospitality and glad they came — even if the game doesn’t go their way.
