6 SEASON OUTLOOK MEDIA INFORMATION PREVIEW Although Sunny Golloway enters his fi rst full year as head coach of the Oklahoma baseball team, he is no stranger to the program with six years of prior experience on the Sooners coaching staff. Joining the coach in 2006 are 19 letterwinners, including 12 seniors, that fi nished the 2005 regular season with a 10-2 record under Golloway, then an interim head coach. That team closed out the regular season as one of the hottest teams in the Big 12 Conference and made the program s second consecutive NCAA Regional appearance, a fi rst since Among the fresh faces this season are 11 newcomers and hitting coach/recruiting coordinator Tim Tadlock. The former head coach at Grayson County College led the program to two national titles and fi ve conference championships. Probably the most exciting aspect about this year s team is that we return so much experience, said Golloway. I can not ever remember having this many veterans returning for a season. We have eight position starters coming back, three hurlers who made regular weekend starts a season ago, our closer and a deep bench. I think history shows that teams that performed well in the power conferences, not only had talent, but a tremendous amount of experience. It might be hard for Golloway to remember a team with so many letterwinners because in the past 30 years, only four other OU teams (1998, 1990, 1989 and 1980) have returned that much experience. If those teams success is any indication of how the 2006 season will play out, Golloway and company could be in for a solid season. Those squads combined for a mark (.628) and two of those teams enjoyed the NCAA postseason (1998 and 1989). Mississippi team. With a good majority of that team returning in 2006, we have a tremendous opportunity to feed off that late-season success and make this a special year. SCHEDULE Never a stranger to a challenging non-conference schedule, the 2006 season will once again test Oklahoma early and often at L. Dale Mitchell Park and on the road. The Sooners will play 23 games against NCAA Tournament participants from a year ago, including 12 against College World Series teams. In addition, the Sooners will host 26 games at L. Dale Mitchell Park and take part in tournaments hosted by Texas Pan American, Rice and Memphis. The Sooners will face a total of six non-conference teams that advanced to the NCAA Tournament in 2005 including Rice, Long Beach State, Texas Christian, Wichita State, Notre Dame and Arizona State. OU opens the 2006 season in Edinburg, Texas, at the UTPA Classic on Feb. 3, 4 and 5. The Sooners will square off against the host Broncs, in addition to Texas State and Lamar. After the UTPA Tournament, the Sooners will play their home opener against Western Illinois in a three-game series that begins on Friday, Feb. 10 and ends on Sunday, Feb. 12. We have once again put together a tough non-conference schedule in order to prepare our team for a very competitive Big 12 season, said Golloway. As a team, our goal is to contend for a Big 12 championship and get this program back to Omaha. We feel that this schedule will help us achieve those goals. Among some of the key players returning this season are two 2005 MLB draft choices in Daniel McCutchen (12th round) and Ryan Rohlinger (21st round) and a freshman All-American (Baseball America) in Kody Kaiser. This team has a lot of potential stars returning, added Golloway. What really bodes well for our program is the experience they gained from playing in big games last year, whether it was in front of 10,000 fans at Bedlam, in the Big 12 Tournament, or at the NCAA Regional. These guys also have the experience of playing in 14 games against four different teams (Arizona State, Baylor, Nebraska and Texas) that made the trip to Omaha in 2005, including the national champs. Any time your season ends with the other team dog piling after the game, you know you are close. The biggest key is not only do they have the experience of playing in big games, but they have success in doing so. The 2005 team showed a lot of character by winning on the road at Kansas State in comeback fashion, winning the Bedlam Series and sweeping Texas Tech at home to close out the regular season. This team also has the experience of playing in the postseason in a hostile environment. The players on last year s team made it all the way to the regional fi nals and ended up losing two games to a solid The 27-game Big 12 schedule will feature home games against Baylor, Missouri, Kansas State and the defending national champions, Texas (March 31-April 2). OU will hit the road in conference play against Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Kansas, Nebraska and play the annual Bedlam Series at Drillers Stadium in Tulsa on Friday, May 12, and the remaining two games at the Bricktown Ballpark in Oklahoma City on May 13 and 14. For the second consecutive year, the 2006 Phillips 66 Big 12 Tournament will be held in Oklahoma City at the Bricktown Ballpark from Wednesday, May 24, through Sunday, May 28. Overall, it is a very challenging schedule and if we play like we did at the end of the 2005 season, it will set us up to earn a high RPI and take us into the NCAA postseason for the third consecutive season, added Golloway. The Big 12 is always one of the best conferences in the nation and Nebraska, Baylor and Texas showcased that talent last year, as three of the eight teams at the College World Series. 6

7 SEASON OUTLOOK CATCHING Returning: J. Shackelford and J. Williams Newcomers: B. Moss One of several strengths for the Sooners in 2006 because of returning experience is the catching position. Last year, Jackson Williams, then a freshman, started 57 games and is ready to have a breakout season in A highly recruited high school catcher, Williams receives plenty of praise from Coach Golloway. Jackson is truly one of the most talented athletes behind the plate in collegiate baseball, said Golloway. He has amazing pure-arm strength, probably the best that I have ever seen or even heard about. He is also solid offensively. Backing up Williams behind the plate is freshman Brandon Moss and senior Jon Shackelford. Moss is another talented recruit at the catcher position and is probably too talented to redshirt this season, while Shackelford vastly improved his skills behind the plate in the last year. We have two talented guys backing up Jackson, both of which were pleasant surprises offensively in the fall, added Golloway. Brandon and Jon have a chance to help this club offensively and provide great depth to the position. PITCHING Returning: J. Brownell, B. Burns, K. Duke, S. Guerra, D. McCutchen, R. Mottern, W. Savage and P.J. Sandoval, Newcomers: A.T. Cole, N. Conaway, N. Hammons C. Henry, J. Hughes, M. Lovelady and J. Rollins The Sooner pitching staff entered the 2005 season after losing two of its top starters (Mark Roberts and David Purcey) and closer (Jarod McAuliff) to the MLB Draft. That trend does not look to continue this season. Despite losing Garrett Patterson and Tyler Gooch to the draft, the 2006 Sooners pitching staff looks to be solid with 84 percent of the innings pitched returning and fi ve seniors leading the charge. Under fi rst year head coach Fred Corral, the staff posted an overall ERA of 4.77 (the lowest in OU s last fi ve seasons) and did even better in conference play with a 4.04 ERA in The 4.04 marks the second lowest ERA in conference play in the program s last 21 seasons (3.75 in 1984). Leadership will not be a problem as more than half of the staff saw time last season. Seventy-seven percent of the Sooners wins and strikeouts return from a year ago. The leader on the mound will once again be Norman native, senior Daniel McCutchen (4-5, 4.18 ERA). McCutchen struck out 84 batters in 84 innings a year ago and is ready to resume his role as the team s No. 1 starter in Behind him are two other starters with returning weekend experience in senior Steven Guerra (5-6, 5.46 ERA) and sophomore Brad Burns (2-1, 4.50 ERA). The biggest change from last season will be the No. 2 starter in OU s rotation (left vacant by Patterson s departure). P.J. Sandoval (3-3, 8.36 ERA) appears to be ready to take over that role after a successful summer and fall. Two other seniors, John Brownell and Will Savage, will give the Sooners bullpen the most experience from a year ago. Savage (9-4, six saves) will continue his role as the team s closer while Brownell (3-4, 4.57 ERA) will provide solid middle-inning relief and could also see time as a starter. When you look at our pitching staff, the number of veterans really stand out with fi ve seniors, said Golloway. However, the talent doesn t stop there with two solid returning sophomores (Burns and Ryan Mottern) who have the talent to be as good as anyone on the staff. PITCHING STAFF STARTING ROTATION 1. Daniel McCutchen 2. P.J. Sandoval 3. Brad Burns/Steven Guerra BULLPEN John Brownell Ryan Mottern Nich Conaway Matt Lovelady A.T. Cole Chris Henry Joseph Hughes Jimmie Rollins Nate Hammons Kevin Duke We know what the returning guys are capable of, but it will be exciting to see how some of the younger players and juco guys respond once they get the opportunity to learn their roles and show that they are capable of pitching at this level. Coach Corral does an excellent job with our staff. He takes players who throw the ball and teaches them how to pitch. We are very confi dent in our returners but also realize that the newcomers have a chance to contribute immediately. They have a high ceiling and will only get better under Coach Corral. When needed, OU should get plenty of help out of the bullpen this year with a balance of arms throwing from both sides. Coming from the right side are Brownell, A.T. Cole, Nich Conaway, Matt Lovelady, Mottern, and Savage. Kevin Duke, Nate Hammons, Chris Henry, Joseph Hughes and Jimmie Rollins are the Sooners fi ve left-handed arms out of the pen.

8 MEDIA INFORMATION SEASON OUTLOOK INFIELD Returning: 8 J. Freeman, R. Raley, F. Rodriguez, R. Rohlinger, J. Shackelford and K. Smith Newcomers: A. Fowble, J. Pedretti, A. Reza For the second consecutive season, the infi eld looks to be the biggest strength for the OU baseball team. Ryan Rohlinger and Russell Raley, both All-Big 12 selections at one point in their collegiate careers, solidify the defense for the third straight year. Joining Raley up the middle will be last year s starting shortstop, Freddy Rodriguez. And on the opposite corner of the infi eld from Rohlinger is converted third baseman Kevin Smith. That foursome combined to start 219 games last year and accounted for over 40 percent of the 2005 Sooners offensive production. Rohlinger was the Sooners best offensive threat hitting at a.345 clip with 11 home runs and 53 RBI. Meanwhile, Raley, despite missing eight of the season s last nine game, registered a career high with 41 RBI. In their fi rst season as Sooners, Smith and Rodriguez also showed some pop at the plate with 42 and 30 RBI, respectively. Heading into this 2006, this group of infi elders reminds me of the 1994 College World Series team, commented Golloway. I don t want to put any extra pressure on them but the similarities are there on both offense and defense. These guys have had success as starters in the past and really make us a stronger team on offense and defense. Ryan has the potential offensively to have another great year. In addition to the returning starters from a season ago, OU will get depth from its newcomers. Sophomores Aaron Reza and Joel Pedretti and freshman Arin Fowble all fi gure to see playing time in In addition, sophomore Jarod Freeman, who primarily was used as a pitcher last year, will fi gure into the lineup at fi rst base and provide another left-handed bat. With the guys we have coming off the bench, the infi elders will make our defense the strength of this team, added Golloway. Aaron (Reza) is a special player and we consider him another starter because he can play at third, second or short. We can place him in at any of those three positions and not miss a beat. OUTFIELD Returning: C. Caufi eld, J. Dunigan, A. Ivey, K. Kaiser, R. Mottern, S. Rooker, C. Williamson Newcomers: N. Conaway, J. Hughes While OU s outfi eld will see a lot of familiar faces this season, there are still some changes that were made in the offseason. Senior Chuckie Caufi eld (.315, 19 RBI, 9 SB) and sophomore Kody Kaiser (.305, 34 RBI, 13 SB) return as starters but will swap positions this year. With Caufi eld in right and Kaiser in centerfi eld, Joe Dunigan looks to get the starting nod in left fi eld. Caufi eld and Kaiser both provide the OU coaching staff with options in the batting lineup. Either one of the Sooners have shown they can be successful at the top of the lineup or provide some power in the middle. The tandem combined to represent 34 percent of the Sooners stolen bases total from last season. That will leave Dunigan, another versatile athlete, batting in the middle and providing some power from the left side. The switches made over the fall have made us a stronger defensive team in the outfi eld, said Golloway. Chuckie has a great arm but we wanted to shorten the distance from his defensive position and home plate. He is a better left-to-right type of fi elder, where Kody is more successful roaming the outfi eld. And Dunigan s potential is no secret. The key to our defense in the outfi eld will be communication and that is something we worked hard on over the fall. Once again, the theme of depth holds true again in the outfi eld. Scott Rooker, Cory Williamson, Aaron Ivey and Ryan Mottern all provide returning experience and will see time as starters, while newcomers Nich Conaway and Joseph Hughes provide extra help off the bench. Going into last season we had a lot depth on the bench but injuries hindered us early on, said Golloway. We once again have a tremendous amount of options this season in the outfi eld. When you get past the Kaisers, Caufi elds and Dunigans, there are four other guys with DI experience (Scott Rooker, Aaron Ivey, Cory Williamson and Ryan Mottern) who can all start for this team. And we also have two talented newcomers with Nich (Conaway) and Joseph (Hughes) who can also fi gure into the lineup. THE LINEUP The Sooners batting lineup should provide the team with depth and options to face any situation. The 2006 squad returns most of the offense from last year s team and below is a breakdown of those numbers Total % Lost % Returning 632 Hits Runs RBI HR SB This team has the talent on offense that allows the coaching staff to adjust the lineup in a number of different ways, said Golloway. We can arrange it in order to have speed early, power in the middle and a mix toward the end. That is what you look for in a lineup and we are fortunate enough to have those options. The Sooners have plenty of hitters who can fi ll the designated hitter slot. Just like in the bullpen, OU has options from both sides of the plate. Hitting from the left side are Freeman, Williamson, Fowble, Dunigan and Rooker. And swinging from the right side as the potential designated hitter, are Mottern, Moss and Ivey. Jon Shackelford joins Kaiser as the only other switch hitter on the team. The DH is probably the deepest offensive position on our team because it gives the coaching staff all kinds of different possibilities, said Golloway. We can use this spot in the lineup for power in the fi ve hole or we can switch things up and use it in the nine hole for speed. Listed to the right is a look at the projected batting lineup for the 2006 season.

9 2006 PHILLIPS 66 BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP SETTING ATTENDANCE MARKS Phillips 66 Big 12 baseball tournaments have set almost annual attendance records while playing at three sites to date: All-Sports Stadium (capacity: 12,000, 1997) in Oklahoma City, SBC Bricktown Ballpark (13,066, , 2003, ) in Oklahoma City, and Ameriquest Field in Arlington (49,115, 2002, 2004). The Oklahoma City All Sports Association has provided tremendous leadership and hospitality for 26 consecutive Big Eight and later Phillips 66 Big 12 tournaments from , 2003, All postseason tourneys are slated for SBC Bricktown Ballpark, and the city has hosted 28 of the fi rst 30 Phillips 66 Big 12 or Big Eight tournaments. The tournament returns to Oklahoma City for a record eighth time from May 24-28, In 2006 the Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship will surpass the one million mark in attendance. The fi rst nine Championships have combined to attract 967,601 fans. The nine-year total tickets sold count for 118 tournament games is 967,601-a national high for any conference from and NCAA-best tourney average of over 107,000 per year. At some point during the 2006 meet, the one millionth ticket will be purchased in the 10 years of this event. NEW TOURNAMENT FORMAT The Big 12 announced the implementation of a two-division, pool play format for the tournament in Previously, the Championship was conducted as a double-elimination tournament. Under the new format, as approved by the conference s head coaches, each of the eight teams competing is guaranteed a minimum of three games. Results from the league s 27-game round-robin conference schedule will determine the eight seeds for the Championship. Seeds 2, 3, 6 and 7 will compete in pool play on one side of the bracket, while seeds 1, 4, 5 and 8 play in the other. The two teams with the best record within their bracket will advance to the Championship game, with the winner earning the Big 12 s automatic berth into the NCAA Championship. Head-to-head competition will break ties within each bracket. In the event of more than two teams being tied for the top spot within a bracket, the highest seeded team will advance to Sunday s winner-take-all Championship game. The change in format allows our teams to better prepare themselves for the NCAA post-season, said associate commissioner Dru Hancock. It gives coaches greater fl exibility in managing their pitching staffs and rewards the teams that have been most successful during the regular season. The new format assures us of quality night games when fans, Big 12 students and children in school have their best opportunity of attending the tournament, said Oklahoma All Sports Association Executive Director Tim Brassfi eld. It is a very fair means of competition, and the teams and student-athletes will be able to experience both the ambience of the Oklahoma City area and additional games than in past Phillips 66 Big 12 championships. BIG 12 CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY In 2002 it moved to the largest postseason venue besides football and outdoor track and fi eld in Big 12 history as Ameriquest Field in Arlington, home of the American League Texas Rangers, set another national record with 150,196 tickets sold for 14 games. In the two years at Ameriquest Field, the tournament had 275,824 tickets sold for 27 games-an average of 10,000-plus. The Phillips 66 Big 12 Tournament became a trend-setting event as the conference s agreement with Arlington and the Texas Rangers for 2002 and 04 was the fi rst-ever venture between a conference baseball tournament and Major League Baseball facility on an advance contract basis. The 1999 Phillips 66 Big 12 added another star to the record fan support with a then-conference-tourney-most 129,334 attendance (tickets sold) for 13 games. In 99 fans also had the opportunity to watch an expanded, eight-team (from the previous six-team jousts in 1997 and 98) at Oklahoma City. One year after that record turnout, the 2000 Phillips 66 meet had the third-largest turnout in Division I baseball history with 126,482 tickets sold for 14 games. These followed a previous all-time NCAA mark of 113,108 ticket purchasers at the OKC facility for the 11-game tournament in 98. The stateof-the-art facility also is the home for the Class AAA Oklahoma Redhawks, NCAA Regional tournaments and numerous NAIA and Oklahoma area amateur tournaments. The fi rst contests at the diamond occurred in April 1998, and the Big 12 postseason meet was the fi rst nationally recognized college event in the stadium. In 1997 the initial six-team Big 12 tourney drew a nation s best total estimated attendance of 56,742 (49,684 paid). The tourney fi eld was expanded to from six to eight teams in 1999 to refl ect the addition of 16 schools nationally to the 64-squad (from 48-team) NCAA bracket. FSN and many FSN regional affi liates have carried all Phillips 66 Big 12 tournament title games as well as 10th if necessary contests in the 1997 and 98 classics at OKC. With semifi nal encounters added by the network in 2003, the telecasts number has advanced to 17 from ADDITIONAL INFORMAITON For ticket information, contact The Oklahoma All Sports Association at (405) For a complete tournament schedule including dates and times, please see page 64 in the opponent s section.

14 COACHING STAFF Sunny Golloway was named the new head baseball coach at the University of Oklahoma on July 15, After successful stints on the Sooner staff as an assistant and interim head coach, and a strong eight-year run as the head coach at Oral Roberts, Golloway s appointment was announced by OU Athletics Director Joe Castiglione. Sunny proved himself as a head coach at Oral Roberts and on an interim basis here at Oklahoma, Castiglione said. I am confi dent that he will do so again now that he has this position on a full-time basis. Based on his sparkling record and his experience with our national championship in 1994, this program can look to his leadership and aspire for the absolute pinnacle of college baseball. His passion for this program is obvious and his enthusiasm never falters. I know that we have a coach who is devoted to the University of Oklahoma and one that is completely committed to the long-term success of the program. Sunny has the full support of our university administration. We are dedicated to working with him and his staff in providing the resources they need to compete at the highest level. Golloway characterized his new position as exciting and humbling. My family and I are extremely excited about this opportunity to coach at the University of Oklahoma, he said. I am humbled to be included among the outstanding fraternity of coaches at OU. It is the very best group in the country. We look forward to directing this program toward championships year in and year out, and that will be the primary focus. I think about that a lot. But honestly, the fi rst thing that came to mind when this job was offered to me was how excited I was to be able to coach these young men again at OU. I feel very close to them. We look forward to continuing in 2006 the late-season run we put together in Last season, Golloway was elevated from associate head coach to interim head coach on May 1, when Larry Cochell resigned. Golloway rallied the program to a 12-6 mark down the stretch and led the Sooners to a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Including eight seasons ( ) as the head coach at Oral Roberts and the record as OU s interim coach, Golloway is (.681). That percentage ranks No. 11 nationally among active head coaches with a minimum of fi ve years of experience. GOLLOWAY AT OU Assistant Coach Assistant Coach Associate Head Coach Interim Head Coach TOTAL (.646) 1 National Championship ( 94) 3 College World Series ( 92, 94, 95) 5 NCAA Regionals ( 92, 94, 95, 04, 05) OU Head Coach Sunny Golloway When Golloway took over the Sooners in 2005, the team was with a seventh-place Big 12 mark of The team won its last three Big 12 series to move its overall record to and its Big 12 mark to 14-13, good for a fi fth-place fi nish. Sunny not only kept the team together through a trying time, he led it to a strong run down the stretch, Castiglione said. There are not a lot of coaches who could have done what he did in that situation and it is an understatement to say that he deserves a lot of credit for that accomplishment. Golloway, an assistant coach at OU from , returned to OU from Oral Roberts prior to the 2004 season. In his fi rst season back, he helped direct a win in the prestigious Kia Klassic as the Sooners became a fi xture in the nation s top 25 rankings again, recorded the program s highest fi nish (second place) in Big 12 Conference history and made a return to the NCAA Tournament, hosting of a regional tourney. As an assistant on the accomplished OU coaching staffs of the early 1990s, Golloway made three trips to the College World Series, including the 1994 National Championship run. Golloway s impact has been felt in other areas of the program as well. Two of OU s past three recruiting classes since his arrival have ranked in the top 10 in Collegiate Baseball s national rankings and it appears that his most recent effort for the 2007 class is headed in the same direction. In the past two years in Norman, Golloway has worked with 16 Big 12 honorees, the 2004 Big 12 Newcomer of the Year, four NCAA Regional All-Tournament team members and one Freshman All-American. 14

15 At ORU, Golloway posted a mark of record (.682). He coached 16 All-Americans, three Freshman All-Americans and 26 of his ORU players were either drafted or signed professional contracts. He was honored four times as Mid-Continent Conference Coach of the Year by his peers (1998, 1999, 2000, 2002). Golloway also twice garnered Coach of the Year acclaim from the Oklahoma Baseball Coaches Association in 1998 and 2001 and was nominated again in 2003 for the fourth time in his career. His passion for this program is obvious and his enthusiasm never falters. I know that we have a coach who is devoted to the University of Oklahoma and one that is completely committed to the long-term success of the program. - Athletics Director Joe Casitglione Among his many other laurels as the ORU head coach, Golloway shaped the successful careers of 34 all-conference selections, four conference Players of the Year and Pitchers of the Year and one conference Newcomer of the Year. In his fi nal six seasons at Oral Roberts, Golloway was responsible for turning the Golden Eagles into one of the nation s winningest programs. The program fl ourished under Golloway s guidance and tallied 277 wins in that time, an average of more than 46 victories per season, and a.731 winning percentage. Golloway and the Golden Eagles dominated the Mid-Continent Conference after joining the league in 1998, winning six consecutive regular season and tournament titles, and advancing to six consecutive NCAA Regionals. ORU was an amazing 85-5 in conference play over his last four seasons. Golloway s strongest postseason run with Oral Roberts came at the end of the 2002 season. The Golden Eagles, fresh from winning their fi fth consecutive Mid-Continent Conference Tournament title, stunned 14th-ranked and home-standing Wichita State in the opening round of NCAA Regional play. ORU then knocked off the Shockers again the next night, before falling to Arkansas in the Regional fi nal. The national media and baseball coaching community took notice as the Golden Eagles ended the season ranked No. 21 by Collegiate Baseball and 20th by the NCBWA. Golloway is a former Team USA assistant and head skipper of several collegiate summer teams. In the summer of 2002, he was selected to serve as pitching coach for USA Baseball s National Team. Under his direction, the team recorded the lowest ERA in its history. Golloway also helped lead Team USA to a silver medal at the fi rst-ever FISU World Championships in Messina, Italy. The National Team also won the championship at Haarlem Baseball Week in The Netherlands During his fi rst stint in Norman, Golloway helped guide the Kenai Peninsula Oilers of the Alaska Baseball League to consecutive National Baseball Congress World Series championships in 1993 and As a result of his successes in those back-to-back years, he was named the NBC Coach of the Year in 1993 and Counting the Sooners national championship in 94, Golloway won an amazing three national championships in one calendar year. Coaching for several successful teams has given Golloway the opportunity to help mold many outstanding players. Among those who have come under Golloway s tutelage are current Major Leaguers Mickey Callaway, Ryan Christenson, J.D. Drew, Braden Looper, Greg Norton, Russ Ortiz, Doug Mientkiewicz and Mark Redman. Although born in Springfi eld, Mo., Golloway grew up in Stillwater, Okla., and graduated from Stillwater High School in He attended Northeastern Oklahoma A&M Junior College in Miami, Okla., for one year before transferring to Oklahoma Christian College where he received his bachelor s degree in We look forward to directing this program toward championships year in and year out, and that will be the primary focus. - Coach Golloway He has done graduate work at the University of Central Oklahoma and the University of Oklahoma. Golloway and his wife, Charlotte, live in Norman. The couple has three children: Sunni Kate, 19, Taylor, 15, and Callen, 5.

17 Q&A WITH COACH GOLLOWAY How did the fall season play out for you and the coaching staff? Did the team meet your expectations? We were very pleased with the leadership and the discipline that came out of the fall season. Our practices and intrasquads were highly competitive and the players played with a lot of intensity. The team defi nitely met my expectations and having the experience returning from last year s team really helped me out as a fi rst-year head coach. What traits does Coach Tadlock possess that you feel make him a good fit for this program? Coach Tadlock owns outstanding communication skills. Even if a player is set in his ways, Tim can always make them open to change and that makes him a very valuable asset as a hitting coach and recruiting coordinator. He has also enjoyed a lot of national success in the junior college level, so he knows what it takes to succeed. COACHING STAFF Individually, who stood out the most in the fall? On the mound, I would have to say P.J. Sandoval really excelled. P.J. is one of those players who made tremendous strides from one year to the next and it is hard to say how he did it. All we know is that he came back this fall and really improved his velocity and the bite on his breaking ball. Offensively, Chuckie Caufi eld did exactly what I thought he would do as a senior captain with his bat. Chuckie s power surge from last year s NCAA Regional has carried over into the fall and he has proven that he can do anything at the plate. Another slugger, Joe Dunigan, also hit the ball well in the fall. Joe is more consistent at the plate this year and is poised to contribute this season in a great way. Finally, on defense, Aaron Reza showed that he can play anywhere in the infi eld. Any time a player is fundamentally sound like Aaron and possesses gifted hands, it makes for a special player who will make amazing plays on the fi eld. How did the annual Red-White Series go? Who would you say were your pitching and offensive Most Valuable Players? The Red-White Series was successful. One of our goals of the fall was to make sure all the newcomers would mesh well with the returning players and I think the series showed that we accomplished that goal. As far as MVP honors go, I would have to say P.J. and Daniel (McCutchen) were solid on the mound. P.J. continues to show drastic improvements and Daniel shook off a tough fall and showed us again what we knew he was capable of. He put together an impressive outing in six innings pitched and allowed zero earned runs on three hits, while striking out seven. The offensive MVP was Chuckie because he did everything at the plate (hit for power, bunt, hit and run, sacrifi ces). Can you already tell the character of the team from what you saw this fall and if so, what is it? Yes. This is a very determined and focused team. I have always been a strong believer that through experiences, individuals are products of the environment that surrounds them. With that said, I think based on last year and the success this team achieved despite all the odds, it makes them a special bunch. They have high expectations for themselves and so do I. With such a successful run at the end of the season last year, what can the team do to continue that success and improve its status this season? That is simple--continue to work hard and maintain the let it fl y attitude that made us such a strong team last year. That attitude allowed our players to go out and try hard without fear of failure. In order to be successful, I think you have to realize what is at stake. And this year s team understands that its goals and dreams of winning championships is on the line and that it is all within reach. How does taking over the OU baseball program differ from when you did the same at Oral Roberts? For me, nothing is different. I approached the job of taking over the Oklahoma baseball program in the same way that I did at Oral Roberts. The one major difference is that I am in a bigger spotlight as the head coach of a program with such a rich tradition of success. And I obviously understand that I am coaching in one of, if not, the toughest conferences in the nation. It does not matter if I am coaching in the high school ranks, junior college, division I or even at the professional level, I will always sweat the details and try to get the most out of an athlete in order to help him achieve on and off the fi eld. You return a bulk of the players from last year s team. How excited about the team s experience are you and how do the newcomers figure into this season s scheme? The coaching staff is very excited to have the amount of leadership and experience returning on this team with 22 letterwinners, including 12 seniors. The goal this season will be to get the newcomers experience for the future. We expect a lot of our new guys to contribute immediately and provide our team with depth at every position. With this as your first full season as head coach at OU, what are the goals of this team and what do you think it can achieve? My goals in 2006 will be same as if I was coaching at OU in 10 years. We are here to win championships and that starts with a Big 12 title and builds up to going to Omaha to win another College World Series championship. I believe that anything else would be cheating myself, the athletes and this program. 17

Additionally, four of his drafted talents Matt Riley, Adam Bernero, Mike Neu and Joe Horgan made their Major League debuts in the last fi ve years. Most recently, Sean Smith, a draft and follow prospect, signed a $1.2 million contract with the Cleveland Indians after being selected in the 16th round in the 2001 draft. A return to his alma mater started his collegiate coaching career in Corral spent two seasons as the pitching coach at San Joaquin Delta Junior College in Stockton, Calif., from , before being hired to direct the pitchers at Sacramento City College. While at those two stops, he developed 25 hurlers who were drafted. Every pitcher he coached at SCC was either drafted or transferred to a fouryear institution. His coaching career also included stints with several professional organizations as well as with summer collegiate teams. Corral acquired coaching experience at the professional level while working with minor league teams in the Montreal Expos and Los Angeles Dodgers systems. His initial experience at the professional level occurred in 1999 when he was an instructor at spring and extended spring training for the Expos Gulf Coast League team. In 2000, he served as the pitching coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers Class A short season team in Yakima, Wash., which captured the Northwest League title that season.

He posted a fl awless 10-0 record with fi ve saves and a 3.75 ERA in his fi rst season (1987) en route to all-conference honors. He became the school s eighth 10-game winner while setting a school record for single-season win-loss percentage. The lefthander fi nished his career with a 13-5 mark, 4.50 ERA and six saves.

He brings a wealth of knowledge to the areas of recruiting and hitting. Our players will benefi t from his great experience, as will our program. He is a proven winner and his success speaks for itself, but what is even more impressive about coach Tadlock is how his players speak so highly of him. With his recruiting expertise, we will continue to recruit strongly in the state of Oklahoma, but we will also recruit nationally and with a stronger presence in Texas. Under his tutelage, numerous players have been drafted and excelled in Major League Baseball and its minor league affi liates.

My goal as an assistant coach, with my knowledge of coaching and recruiting, will be to help this program perform at a high level and get back to Omaha.

66 HIGHLIGHTS/HONORS 2005 SEASON REVIEW 2005 SUMMARY During an up and down year, the University of Oklahoma baseball team put together a successful run at the end of the season and was rewarded with its second consecutive NCAA regional appearance, a fi rst since the seasons. OU fi nished the season with a overall record and a mark in conference play. OU began the 2005 season after being picked to fi nish seventh in the Big 12 by the league s coaches. The Sooners started off the year with back-to-back losses to Gonzaga and Arizona State but rebounded by rattling off eight consecutive victories, a season high. By the time Big 12 play opened at the end of March, OU was 13-8 in non-conference play. Texas A&M was the fi rst league opponent for the Sooners and OU made quick work of the then-no. 14 Aggies, winning the fi nal two games of the series after dropping a disappointing series opener, 7-5, in 10 innings. But the team would struggle after the Big 12 opener, going 5-10 over the next 15 conference games. OU won a series at home against Kansas but suffered defeats to Baylor (1-2), Texas (0-3), Missouri (1-2) and Nebraska (1-2). After the Nebraska series concluded on April 30, OU found itself without longtime coach Larry Cochell, who stepped down with 12 games remaining in the regular 2005 RECORD BREAKDOWN Total: Conference: Non-Conference: Home: Away: Neutral: Day: Night: vs. Lefties: vs. Righties: Run Games: Run Games: Run Games: Extra Innings: Shutouts: Scores First: Opp. scores fi rst season and associate head coach Sunny Golloway was named the interim head coach. And just when everyone thought the season was over, the team rallied to fi nish the regular season strong, winning 10 games in that span. The turning point of the season may have come in Manhattan, Kan., where OU came from behind in the fi nal two games of the series to win in extra innings. OU fi nished the regular season on its second longest winning streak of the year at seven games, including fi ve consecutive conference victories. The stellar run was good enough to qualify OU for the 2005 Phillips 66 Big 12 Tournament as the No. 5 seed. The team entered the Big 12 tourney as the hottest team in the conference but went two and out for the fi rst time in its history of play in the Big 12 postseason. Despite the struggle in the conference tournament, OU made its second consecutive appearance in the NCAA Tournament with a berth in the Oxford Regional. After a respectable showing, which included wins over Southern Miss and Maine, the postseason run ended with a 20-5 loss to No. 9 Mississippi in an elimination game of the 2005 Oxford Regional Championships. OU landed three members on the All-Regional Team, Chuckie Caufi eld, Ryan Rohlinger and Kody Kaiser, who combined to hit six of the team s eight home runs (a regional best among the four participating schools). It marked the most any Sooner team had placed on an all-regional squad since the 1995 team, which had fi ve members MLB DRAFT Four Sooners from the 2005 team and four 2006 signees were drafted in the 2005 MLB Amateur Draft held on June 7 and 8. During day one, Garrett Patterson was picked in the seventh round, at No. 229, to join the New York Yankees organization. Junior Daniel McCutchen followed in the 12th round, 380th overall, after being picked up by the St. Louis Cardinals. On day two, McCutchen was joined by teammate Ryan Rohlinger, who was drafted by the St. Louis Cardinals. The Sooners third baseman was selected 650th overall by the Cardinals in the 21st round. Junior right-handed pitched Tyler Gooch was also selected on the fi nal day, at No (50th round) by the Philadelphia Phillies. In addition, four signees, who are part of the Sooners 2006 class which was ranked in the nation s top 10 by Baseball America, were also drafted. Louis Ott (13th round by Detroit), Sean Shofi tt (15th round by Toronto) and David Hernandez (16th round by Baltimore) were taken on day one while Omar Aguilar (30th round by Milwaukee) was drafted on the second day. KAISER TABBED FRESHMAN ALL-AMERICAN Freshman Kody Kaiser earned OU s fi rst All-America award since 2002, after being named a second team Freshman All-American by Baseball America, a wellknown publication dedicated to the sport. In 2005, Kaiser (.305, 10 HR, 34 RBI) was one of the Sooners most consistent hitters and the only member of the team to start all 61 games. The Edmond, Okla., product failed to collect a hit in just 15 of those games and was the team s leader in total bases (133) and stolen bases (13). The right fi elder fi nished second on the team in home runs (10), doubles (15) and hits (78). The last time a Sooner was named a freshman All-American was in That year, Matt Bose and David Purcey both collected Freshman All-America honors (First Team - Collegiate Baseball). Kaiser is just the fi fth Sooner to be named a Freshman All-American at OU. 66

Among the honorees, sophomore Aaron Ivey (Oklahoma City), junior Scott Rooker (Dallas, Texas) and junior Ryan Rohilnger (West Bend, Wisc.), made the Academic All-Big 12 fi rst team while senior Matt Bose (Midland, Texas) was named to the second team.

The Sooners hit a round tripper in all but four of those contests and Ryan Rohlinger knocked out seven in that span. Rohlinger fi nished the year with 11 dingers and joined Kody Kaiser as the fi rst pair of Sooners to hit 10 or more homers in a season since 2002 (Jason Franz-15, Charlie Frasier-12). Nine of the 27 homers came in the series at Kansas State, a three-game series season high. The threegame total marked the most an OU team had hit, in a Big 12 series since the 2000 season (13 vs. Iowa State). Additionally, OU stole 26 bases over the fi nal 18 games, good for an average of 1.44 swipes a game. Kaiser was responsible for eight of those stolen bases while Aaron Ivey contributed fi ve.

SOONERS TOP VOLS FOR PROGRAM S FIRST TITLE Charley Pugsley delivers game-winning single in the eighth inning For Immediate Release: June, 17, 1951 OMAHA, Neb. -- They weren t supposed to be there. They weren t even supposed to be that good, but the 1951 Oklahoma baseball team proved in the end that it could play with the best teams in the nation by sweeping through an impressive tournament fi eld en route to its fi rst baseball national title. Oklahoma came from behind to defeat the University of Tennessee, 3-2, in the championship game to become the fi rst team in College World Series history to claim the title after winning the double-elimination tournament in straight games without defeat. The title also gave the University of Oklahoma the distinction of becoming the fi rst school to win three national titles in one school year after the football and wrestling teams both captured national championships. As OU Head Coach Jack Baer recalled years later, the title was a credit to the team s dedication and competitiveness. We just weren t a great team, but everybody worked hard, said Baer. We had a couple of good hitters and two good pitchers, three really. It was a fi ne pitching performance by one of those good pitchers that lifted the Sooners to victory in the championship game. Oklahoma starting pitcher Jack Shirley held the Volunteers to only two runs on three hits while facing only fi ve batters over the minimum and putting the side down in order in seven of the nine innings. After surrendering a single and a double in the fi rst inning, the righthander from Altus, Okla., quieted the Tennessee bats until the fi fth inning when he gave up a RBI-single that drove in the Volunteers second run of the inning. The win was Shirley s second of the tournament after leading the Sooners to victory in their fi rst game against Ohio State, and his eighth in nine starts that year. Shirley s game-ending numbers included four walks and six strikeouts while stranding three Volunteer baserunners. Offensively, Oklahoma pounded out 11 hits off of two Tennessee pitchers. Most of the Sooners offensive production came from three players: catcher John Reddell, leftfi elder Phil McKee and fi rst baseman Gene Sheets. Reddell led all hitters with a 3-for-5 performance, while McKee and Sheets both turned in two-hit efforts. However, it was centerfi elder Charley Pugsley who delivered the key hit for the Sooners that day. With the game tied at two and two outs in the top of the eighth inning, Pugsley hammered his only hit of the evening into centerfi eld to score third baseman Ray Morgosh with the winning run. OU scored its fi rst run of the game in the sixth inning when UT s starting pitcher walked in Reddell with the bases loaded. Reddell fi gured into the Sooners next scoring play when he singled home McKee from third to tie the game at two in the top of the seventh inning. The Sooners struggled in their fi rst game of the College World Series before routing its next two opponents to make it to the championship game. It took Oklahoma extra frames to defeat Big Ten Champ Ohio State, 9-8, in 10 innings after OU committed six errors and left 16 men stranded on the base paths. Despite walking 15 batters, Oklahoma pitcher Jim Waldrip hurled a two-hit ballgame against Springfi eld (Mass.) College in the second game of the tournament as the Sooners emerged 7-1 victors. Then, OU took its spot in the national championship game by defeating Southern California, 4-1. Another pitching star for Oklahoma, Floyd Murphy, led the Sooners to victory over the Trojans as Murphy scattered eight hits, while the Sooner defense aided the effort by turning four double plays in the game. After beginning the season with six straight losses, OU fi nished the regular season 12-9 and captured the Big Seven Conference crown after compiling a 10-1 mark in league play. The Sooners shaky start melted away into a hot streak which saw OU win its last 13 games en route to the title. The 13-game streak currently stands in a tie for third all-time as the longest win streak to end a season by a College World Series champion. Winner - Shirley. Loser - Hatfi eld.

The 1994 Oklahoma baseball team s season-long motto that inspired them to a regular-season record continued to spark OU during postseason play where the Sooners produced thier second baseball national title in school history with a 13-5 rout of Georgia Tech. The national title capped off an incredible NCAA Tournament run by the Sooners who went undefeated in both the regional tournament in Austin, Texas, and the eight-team double elimination World Series. At the time, OU became only the fi fth team since the College World Series moved to Omaha in 1950 to accomplish such a feat. To further demonstrate the Sooners dominance during the postseason, Oklahoma trailed in just one of the 72 innings in the NCAA Tournament. OU fi nished the series as the top hitting (.327) and pitching (2.37 ERA) team, while ranking second in defense (committing only fi ve errors). We got hot at the right time, said Oklahoma Head Coach Larry Cochell following the championship game. The momentum that we got in Austin carried over, and the two one-run victories here (against Auburn and Arizona State) gave us the confi dence to keep it going. Leading the way for the Sooners was senior centerfi elder Chip Glass, who was named the Most Outstanding Player of the series. Glass, who hit only three home runs during the regular season, nailed three round-trippers during the series, including one in the championship game. Over the four-game tournament, the Ukiah, Calif., native batted.389 with four RBI and three stolen bases. With the game tied at two after three innings, Oklahoma jumped ahead and claimed a commanding lead that it would not relinquish. Aided by four hits and three Yellow Jacket errors, the Sooners scored fi ve runs in the fourth inning to break open a 7-2 lead. Two frames later, a two-run double by Tech s designated hitter Michael Sorrow (in the top of the sixth) brought the Jackets back to within three runs before a three-run homer by sophomore designated hitter Damon Minor capped off a four-run bottom of the sixth to put the game away for good. Junior leftfi elder Aric Thomas and senior rightfi elder Darvin Traylor led all Oklahoma hitters with three hits and runs apiece, while both drove in one run each. Junior righthander Tim Walton, who pitched fi ve scoreless innings in relief a week before against Arizona State in the Sooners second game of the series, picked up the win for OU after throwing 2.1 strong innings in relief of senior starting pitcher Kevin Lovingier. Oklahoma s ace closer, junior righthander Bucky Buckles, came on for the fi nal 3.2 innings of work to close out the game and record his school and Big Eight record 14th save of the season. Buckles performance earned him a spot on the all-tournament team along with fi ve other Sooners: Glass, senior second baseman Rick Gutierrez, sophomore fi rst baseman Ryan Minor, Traylor and junior pitcher Mark Redman. As a team, Oklahoma set a championship game record with its 13 runs and tied the record with 16 hits. We didn t have any superstars, commented Glass. This was a team in the truest sense of the word. We all pulled together and did what it took to win. OKLAHOMA HISTORY E - Hensley 2 (16), Saier (5), Varitek (9). DP - Georgia Tech 3, Oklahoma 1.

Psychological Counseling & Sport Psychology The Prentice Gautt Academic Center is staffed with a licensed counseling psychologist to provide a wide array of counseling and performance enhancing services. Student-athletes may visit the staff psychologist to confi dentially discuss anything impacting their academic, athletic or personal lives. Assessment The academic assessment process begins with an entry-level assessment of all incoming student-athletes. This assessment is designed to help studentathletes know their strengths and weaknesses in content areas such as reading, writing, and mathematics. With this information, we can determine if student-athletes have the skills necessary to succeed in standard entry-level courses. Some results from this initial assessment may require additional testing, enrollment in developmental courses and academic services, or programs recommended based on individual needs. The ultimate purpose of our assessment is to ensure that student-athletes have the appropriate academic support services to achieve academic success. Supervised Study Supervised study is a monitored study program designed to provide student-athletes with organized study and tutoring time in a fl exible environment conducive to successful learning. Supervised study is required for all fi rst-semester freshmen, transfer student-athletes, student-athletes with a cumulative GPA below 2.50 and any student-athlete who the coaching staff and the Student Life academic staff believe would benefi t from the experience. Supervised study is fl exible for all student-athletes. Supervised study hours are 8 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. from Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays. All freshman and transfer student-athletes are required to put in 10 hours a week in their fi rst semester at the University. Any study area or learning center is available for use during these times. The Prentice Gautt Academic Mentoring Program Mentors are assigned by academic counselors to designated student-athletes to assist them with study skills, problem solving techniques, and time management. The primary goal of the mentoring program is to create an environment conducive to student-athlete success in the university academic setting. Athletic Student Life promotes this environment of academic success through several methods. Arriving at a new college campus can be very intimidating for both freshmen and transfer students. Our program provides a mentor to help familiarize the student-athlete with the academic and social culture at OU, thus helping to ease the transition to the University setting.

124 A STORIED AND ACTIVE TRADITION OF ATHLETICS EXCELLENCE The University of Oklahoma athletics program boasts a tradition that few schools can rival. Over the years, Sooner squads have combined for 24 team national championships including seven in football, seven in wrestling, six in men s gymnastics, two in baseball, one in men s golf and one in softball. The Sooner tradition isn t something buried in the past. It inspires OU s student-athletes to greater heights every season. Last season, the Sooner football team competed in its second national championship game in just four years and the men s gymnastics team won its third NCAA title in four years. In 2003, an OU team earned the title of National Champion for the fourth consecutive year with men s gymnastics. In 2002, the Sooner men s and women s basketball teams carved their spot in history by advancing to the NCAA Final Four -- only the third time in NCAA history a school accomplished the feat with both teams in the same year. Even more remarkable, during the season, the OU football and men s and women s basketball teams combined for 74 wins -- the most ever for those three sports by a Division I school in a single season. Oklahoma went 11-2 in football, 31-5 in men s basketball and 32-4 in women s basketball. The University of Oklahoma now stands alone in college sports club, created exclusively by OU. Oklahoma s student-athletes continue to lead in the classroom and their actions in the community are exemplary. With the Great Expectations project, Oklahoma is aggressively building the fi nest facilites in the nation. Each day, it becomes more evident that the University of Oklahoma has become one of the fi nest comprehensive athletics program in the country. When OU student-athletes raise the trophy of another championship, the hands responsible for hoisting that trophy symbolize thousands of Sooners around the globe. The following represents a closer look at the tradition powering the Oklahoma Sooners: :: Oklahoma was playing football before it was a state. It s only one of two Division I football programs to win seven or more national championships. And OU is the only Division I football program ever to record 47 straight victories. :: Oklahoma gymnastics great Bart Conner won two NCAA all-around crowns and led the Sooners THE SOONER TRADITION to two NCAA titles in 1977 and A threetime Olympian (1976, 80, 84), Connor won two gold medals in He was instrumental in the foundation of the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame in Oklahoma City. :: Oklahoma defeated UCLA in the 2000 Women s College World Series to capture the school s fi rst softball national championship.

The Sooners became just the second non-west Coast team in NCAA history to win a softball national championship. :: The OU men s basketball team has competed in 25 straight postseason tournaments, the nation s longest current streak. Last season, OU produced its 29th winning season in the last 30 years.

126 SOME OF THE MOST RECOGNIZED TRADITION IN COLLEGE ATHLETICS The University of Oklahoma has a long and storied history. The rich tradition has given birth to some of the most recognized pageantry in all of college athletics. Here is a look at the origin of some of the elements that create the wonderful atmosphere so unique to OU: Sooners College sports fans are hard pressed to fi nd a nickname that is as unique and as tied-in to a state s history as a Sooner. The University of Oklahoma is the only school known as Sooners and those who claim that they are Sooners say it with pride. The Oklahoma Territory opened with the Land Run of Settlers from across the globe, seeking free land, made their way to the prairies of the plains to stake their claim. One of the few rules to claiming a lot of land was that all participants were to start at the same time, on the boom of a cannon. All settlers who started then were labeled as Boomers and those who went too soon were called Sooners. OU athletic teams were called either Rough Riders or Boomers for 10 years before the current Sooner nickname emerged in The university actually derived its name from a pep club called The Sooner Rooters. The success of University of Oklahoma athletics teams over the years has made the nickname synonymous with winning. OU Chant The OU Chant is a loyalty song that is sung before every home football game, before and after every men s and women s basketball games and at the end of many athletic and university functions. Every fan who wears the offi cial colors, each current student and student-athlete and all OU alumni are encouraged to stand and raise one fi nger in the air during the playing of the Chant -- a symbolic gesture that shows those who do not know what it means to be a Sooner, the greatness of the university and the unity between all Sooners. The Chant was written in 1936 by Jessie Lone Clarkson Gilkey, who directed the OU girl s glee club from 1936 to 1938 and was voted Outstanding Faculty Woman in O-K-L-A-H-O-M-A Our chant rolls on and on! Thousands strong Join heart and song In alma mater s praise Of campus beautiful by day and night Of colors proudly gleaming Red and White Neath a western sky OU s chant will never die. Live on University! Boomer Sooner One of the most recognizable college fi ght songs in the country, Boomer Sooner immediately evokes enthusiasm from OU fans and sends chills down the spines of those who dare to oppose them. In 1905, Arthur M. Alden, a student in history and physiology whose father was a Norman jeweler, wrote the lyrics to the fi ght song, borrowing the tune from Yale University s Boola Boola but improvising the words. A year later, an addition was made to it from North Carolina s I m a Tarheel Born and the two combined to form the university s fi ght song today. Though the tune was fi rst made known by Yale, the everlasting success of Sooner squads has taken the melody of Boomer Sooner to national popularity. Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner Boomer Sooner, Boomer Sooner Boomer Sooner, OK U! Oklahoma, Oklahoma Oklahoma, Oklahoma Oklahoma, Oklahoma Oklahoma, OK U! I m a Sooner born and Sooner bred and when I die, I ll be Sooner dead Rah Oklahoma, Rah Oklahoma Rah Oklahoma, OK U! SOONER SPIRIT 126

127 Mascots The Sooner Schooner is a Conestoga, or covered wagon, reminiscent of the mode of travel used by pioneers who settled Oklahoma. The Schooner is powered by matching white ponies named Boomer and Sooner, and it ventures onto Owen Field in a triumphant victory ride after OU scores. Although the Schooner was introduced in 1964, it did not become the offi cial mascot until The Schooner is well-recognized by college athletics fans across the country and makes regular appearances at university functions. During OU football and baseball games from , Mex the Dog wore a red sweater with a letter O on the side. Mex died of old age on April 30, 1928, and he was so popular among students and faculty that the university closed for his funeral and procession on May 2, In the fall of 2005, the OU Athletics Deparment introduced costumed mascots. The new characters will act as an extension of the Sooner Schooner and its horses to be enjoyed by fans -- especially children -- at all OU athletics contests. The costumes will feature traditional collegiate gear as part of their regular uniform, but will don team uniforms for football and men s and women s basketball. Crimson and Cream In the fall of 1895, Miss Mary J. Overstreet, the fi rst female faculty member, and Dr. James Buchanan served on a committee that selected crimson and corn as the offi cial OU colors, but local merchants had diffi culty determining the color of corn for merchandise. Very quickly the colors evolved to offi cially be crimson and cream and later began to include red and white as well. That same year, OU Oratorical Society students proudly displayed the colors for the fi rst time and chanted the new university yell, Hi Rickety! Whoop-te-do, at a contest in Guthrie, then the state capitol. The student body approved with great enthusiasm and immediately pennants, banners, badges and decorations of every description appeared on the streets, in the windows, at chapel, in classrooms, and all public places; however, local merchants could not supply the demand. Even though the school colors have evolved to red and white over the years, you can ask any self-respecting Sooner what the colors are and they will proudly announce Crimson and Cream. On gamedays, a sea of crimson rolls through OU s home arenas and all Sooners are urged to wear the offi cial colors to show the rest of the country what school spirit and Sooner Pride is all about. Pride of Oklahoma The Pride of Oklahoma Marching Band has been supporting Sooner Spirit for nearly a century. Unlike many other college bands, which began as military drill units, the Pride of Oklahoma had its beginnings as a pep band. In the early years of the 1900s, both townspeople of Norman and students of OU participated in a band that played for football games. Professor John Merrill started the fi rst band in 1901, which was composed mostly of townspeople and disbanded after each football season. Lloyd Curtis, a cornetist, founded the fi rst continuous student band in Today, the 300-member Pride of Oklahoma has members representing virtually every college and major on campus. The Pride of Oklahoma stands for excellence in musicianship, academics, school spirit, and commitment to our role in the surrounding community. Boomer Sooner rings out at the end of each rehearsal, and that song is the defi ning element of the University of Oklahoma. Maybe that is why Sooner fans love the band so much. Not much can compare to the fi rst go-go at a football game when the Pride of Oklahoma marches the interlocking OU down the fi eld playing Boomer Sooner. THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA SOONERS 127

128 SUPPORTING THE COMMUNITY THAT SUPPORTS THE SOONERS OU lives by a clear and strong motto in dealing with its student-athletes... Inspiring Champions for Today, Preparing Leaders for Tomorrow. To fulfi ll that promise, the athletics department and student- athletes take an active role in a number of community service projects. Sooner student-athletes are exposed to life outside of sports and school work with opportunities to serve and help others. The Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a committee made up of two to three student-athletes from all 20 intercollegiate athletic teams at the University of Oklahoma. The committee coordinates community service programs for the Sooners each month. Giving back is something that benefi ts us as much as those we re helping, says OU head softball coach Patty Gasso. It brings us back to reality and makes us realize that there is more to life than collegiate softball. I feel it s our duty to help out because of the role we re in as a Division I softball program. The University of Oklahoma men s golf program holds an annual Clubs for Kids event in early May at the Lakeview Golf Course in Ardmore, Okla. Providing clubs and instruction, the event allows more than 1,000 southeastern Oklahoma youth an opportunity to interact with the OU golf team and coaches. Oklahoma women s basketball teams have been extremely active in the community since head coach Sherri Coale s arrival in In addition to projects with the United Way, Coaches vs. Cancer, Central Oklahoma Habitat for Humanity and the Children s Miracle Network, Coale implemented the Sooner Big Sis Program which places women s basketball players at elementary schools in Norman to serve as mentors and teachers aides. I want our student-athletes to learn through their experience here, says Coale, how important it is to volunteer to be a part of whatever community they decide to reside in when their playing days are over. Oklahoma head men s basketball coach Kelvin Sampson and his team participate in the Sooner Reading Program. The program takes players and coaches to area elementary schools to promote the importance of reading. Instituted by Sampson, who is the father of two children, the program has been extremely successful in raising the interest in books among kids. When we go out to schools, says Sampson, we re promoting something tangible. We stress to children the importance of reading, and the fact that it s coming from us, people that the kids really look up to, makes our statement all the more dynamic. Oklahoma basketball is really big here and we like to spread our players and coaches around as much as we can. I d like to read to every kid in the community. That s our goal. Oklahoma s student-athletes recognize that wearing the Crimson and Cream means representing a popular sports program and themselves as individuals. They are encouraged to respond to a public that adores them, while learning important lessons about making a positive impact in the lives of others and in the community in which they live. Community service events for OU student-athletes from the past year included: Women s basketball players and coaches visited the Children s Hospital in Oklahoma City and participated in the Sooner Big Sis Program, an event in which each student-athlete selects a Norman elementary school class and visits the class weekly for an hour. COMMUNITY SERVICE GIVING BACK OU baseball players and coaches helped clean up at the Willow Springs Boys Ranch in Chandler, Okla. They were also able to interact with some of the residents during their visit on Oct. 3,

129 The athletic department hosted a campus-wide blood drive in conjunction with the American Red Cross to help save the lives of over 1,000 people with over 180 donors. The Oklahoma baseball team performed a reading program with various elementary schools in the Norman area. The team also visited the Willow Springs Boys Ranch in Chandler, Okla. on Oct. 3. During the visit, the players and coaches helped clean up around the facility by mowing, weed eating and trimming trees. In addition the team interacted with some of the residents and participated in team-building exercises. The OU men s gymnastics team coordinated with Children s World with a tour of the gymnastics facility and a presentation to the children. In addition, the squad participated in various reading programs and volunteered at various elementary schools in the Norman area. The OU Athletics Department participated in Think if You Drink, a community campaign to help promote safe and responsible drinking among studentathletes and students on campus. The OU football program, Norman Public Schools, Feed the Children and the Fellowship of Christian Athletes joined efforts to sponsor the Sooner Football/FCA Holiday Food Drive. OU student-athletes, coaches and SAAC members made contact with more than 1,000 Norman Public Schools students in 20 schools as visiting readers, tutors, mentors and other special events including speaking engagements. Oklahoma men s basketball has been involved with community organizations including the American Cancer Society, the American Lung Association, Boys and Girls Clubs, Boy Scouts of America, Citizens Caring for Children, Children s Miracle Network, Food and Shelter for Friends, Sooner Reading Program, the Oklahoma Blood Institute, the Oklahoma Committee to Prevent Child Abuse and Special Olympics, among others. Bridge Builders, the African American Student-Athlete Network, organized student outreach programs at Marcus Garvey Leadership Charter School and Moon Middle School helping to impart ideas and strategies to young people that will help them be successful in sports, as well as life. Oklahoma women s basketball players supported the Special Olympics in Norman and Noble. The players were honorary hug givers and cheerleaders, encouraging Oklahoma s special stars. The Sooners also assisted the United Way in its Meals on Wheels program. OU delivered, sacked and decorated bags that contained food items for emergency use during the winter months. Sooner football players spent more than 300 hours involved in various community projects during the course of the year including the Clinic for Kids, visiting elementary schools and conducting the annual food drive. OU student-athletes and SAAC hosted Safe Trick-or-Treat and provided candy, games and safe entertainment for hundreds of local children and their families at the Lloyd Noble Center. The OU men s basketball and football teams participated in Sooner Make- A-Wish in which a terminally ill patient was able to spend the day meeting the athletes, eating lunch and participating in different activities.

130 SHOWCASING THE SOONERS TO A NATIONAL AUDIENCE Oklahoma Athletics is a household name due to the overwhelming media attention that hovers around the Sooners. Writers and broadcasters representing the nation s most recognized media outlets regularly interact with Sooner players and coaches and routinely spend time in Norman. And when they can t come to campus, those same observers keep tabs on OU thanks to extensive television coverage. The Sooners are at the very center of the college athletics and everybody is watching. In 2004, all 13 Oklahoma football games appeared on live television, including seven that were carried nationally or regionally on ABC. In 2005, the trend should continue. Thanks to the introduction of ESPNU, a cable-television network devoted solely to collegiate athletics, the OU baseball team received television coverage for an unprecedented 11 regular-season baseball games, including two on ESPN s national coverage. The Women s College World Series is hosted in Oklahoma City each year, with its semifi nal and fi nal round games shown live across the nation. The men s golf team s home tournament, The Maxwell Invitational in Ardmore, Okla., is televised live by the local ABC affi liate. For the season, the men s basketball team has already been promised live television coverage of 18 regular-season games, including two each on ABC and CBS. Both the men s and women s gymnastics teams had regular television coverage thanks to the hosting duties of their respective conference championships. The nation will focus its eyes on Norman again in 2006 when the Sooners host the NCAA Men s Gymnastics National Championships at Lloyd Noble Center. The popularity of the Sooners is evident in the immense amount of products and apparel purchased by fans. OU ranks fi fth in the nation in sales of licensed merchandise. Since 2000, Oklahoma student-athletes have appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated eight times. Sooner football is one of the most popular subjects for SI with 29 cover appearances. Over the past fi ve years, ESPN s popular College Football Gameday production has broadcast on site from 15 of Oklahoma s games. That s an average of three per season. 35 million people logged on to SoonerSports.com last year, making the offi - cial Web site of the Oklahoma Athletics Department one of the top fi ve college sites in the nation. Many former Sooners have gone on to successful careers as talent for the nation s top media outlets including ESPN s Stacy Dales-Schuman and CBS Spencer Tillman. Former OU athletes are often called on to provide color commentary during regional broadcasts due to their championship experience and athletics expertise. IN THE MEDIA SPOTLIGHT NCAAS Head coach Sunny Golloway addresses the media following the Sooners opening-round win over Southern Mississippi in the 2005 NCAA Oxford Regional. 130

132 ROBIN SIEGFRIED & FAMILY STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING COMPLEX Oklahoma s weight training program is a pioneer in the development of strength and conditioning, and is a vital part of the Sooners tradition of success. OU strength and conditioning coaches utilize their expertise along with a wide array of equipment and tests to produce national championship caliber athletes. Evaluation, goal-oriented programs, supervision and state-of-the-art facilities help Oklahoma athletes become bigger, faster, stronger and more fl exible. The Robin Siegfried & Family Strength and Conditioning Complex, located in the Barry Switzer Center, has 13,000 square feet to facilitate the intensive training of OU athletes. An additional facility, the Roy Williams Strength Training Facility, is available for workouts inside the Everest Training Center. The former Sooner football All-American and current Dallas Cowboy made the center possible through a gift to the University. Jerry Schmidt, director of sports enhancement, says the complex is a state-of-the-art facility where athletes work closely with fi ve full-time staff members. Oklahoma recognizes the importance of conditioning, says Schmidt. This facility is refl ective of that commitment. The objective of the strength and conditioning program is to ensure each student-athlete in every sport is provided with a sound in-season and offseason program. This program of activity includes strength, conditioning, fl exibility and nutrition. A strength and conditioning coordinator for each sport is provided to assist athletes in reaching the highest possible training levels. The OU strength and conditioning staff takes great pride in providing a very intensive program that helps maintain greater overall body strength and conditioning levels during the season. By maintaining strength in the muscles and connective tissues throughout the season, the potential for injuries decreases. The off-season program is also extremely intensive. Speed, strength, power, agility, fundamentals and nutrition are addressed. The OU staff is committed to full compliance with NCAA rules concerning time allocation for student-athletes and voluntary workouts during off-season periods. The staff s interaction with the nutritional consultants on campus is essential. The staff maintains an open channel of communication with the dining staff at the Wagner Dining Center. This interaction enables the strength and conditioning staff to ensure that OU athletes receive a winning edge with a sound nutrition program. Our goal is to get the student-athletes in their best condition, says Schmidt. That condition will give Oklahoma an edge at the end of a game. Top of the line conditioning is what it takes to be a Sooner athlete. Running, lifting and good nutrition must be kept in a balance. All these components must be in place for an athlete to compete at the highest level. Located at the south end of the Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, the Barry Switzer Center houses administrative offi ces, the football locker room, the equipment room, the 8,000- square-foot Henry Freede Sports Medicine Facility and the 7,000-square-foot Touchdown Club Legends Lobby in addition to the Siegfried Strength and Conditioning Complex. STRENGTH AND MEDICAL TRAINING 132

133 HENRY J. FREEDE, M.D., SPORTS MEDICINE FACILITY The Oklahoma Athletics Department feels a strong responsibility to help its athletes reach and maintain their optimum health and achieve conditioning goals. For this reason, OU has developed excellent training and conditioning programs to lessen the possibility of injuries. However, should injuries occur, the department is committed to a comprehensive rehabilitation program. Complete athletically-related medical services are provided to Oklahoma student athletes by team physicians and OU s certifi ed athletic trainers. The University of Oklahoma obtains the services of the best medical consultants available. The base of operation for the Sooners medical care is the state-of-the-art Henry J. Freede, M.D. Sports Medicine Center in the Barry Switzer Center. Head athletic trainer Scott Anderson says the addition to the Barry Switzer Center has allowed the university to upgrade to a new edition of rehabilitation equipment that can best benefi t the student-athletes. From simple therobands to taping tables, the facility offers everything a school can have or hope to have. The Sooner training room is equipped to perform isokinetic joint evaluation for preventive medicine and for post-injury rehabilitation. The therapy room is supplied with the latest modalities on the market. The addition of space is the greatest benefi t, says Anderson. This space allows for dedicated rehabilitation and consultation to the athletes. An option with the facility is the water rehabilitation area. The athlete stands in a pool of water that is adjusted to his or her own physical needs. Cameras are then placed where physicians can monitor the progress made by the athlete on his or her road to recovery. A total team effort is the key to OU s effi ciency in preventing, treating and rehabilitating injuries sustained by student-athletes. These measures keep Sooner athletes at their highest level of performance as they compete for championships. Sports medicine is a team effort, says Anderson. The stated goal of athletic training at Oklahoma is, fi rst of all, care for the student-athletes, thereby granting our sports a competitive advantage and ultimately greater esteem for the entire program. To that end we are blessed with a full complement of self-sacrifi cing medical professionals working on a regular basis with our athletic training staff. THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA SOONERS 133

134 GREAT EXPECTATIONS AND BEYOND With one of the greatest winning traditions in intercollegiate athletics, the University of Oklahoma, its players, coaches and fans understand the meaning of Great Expectations. OU hopes for and expects great things from its athletic teams -- and the athletes and coaches expect the same from themselves. Time and time again, the Sooners have delivered on this expectation: 23 national championships, 205 conference titles and more than 700 All-Americans. The University of Oklahoma s goal is to provide fi rst-class facilities and resources for all the programs and endeavors sponsored by the institution. OU Athletics captures so much attention and interest that it requires the help and support of all Sooners to continue the tradition that all have enjoyed. With that in mind, OU launched Great Expectations...The Campaign for Sooner Sports. Great Expectations...The Campaign for Sooner Sports, a recently completed fund-raising effort, was about the continuation of a proud championship tradition. It was a fi ve-year campaign launched with an eventual goal of $100 million, making possible an extraordinary era in new athletics facilities that has led to unprecedented athletic and academic success for OU studentathletes. Among the accomplishments made possible by Great Expectations donors: an expanded, renovated and more beautiful stadium; two completely new facilities for men s and women s basketball at Lloyd Noble Center; new or renovated facilities for wrestling, softball, tennis, soccer and track and fi eld; new strength and conditioning sports medicine centers and an indoor training center. Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium Expansion Project The $75 million expansion and renovation of OU s football stadium, completed in 2004, transformed a towering concrete structure into a beautiful facility featuring the brick and cast stone that characterize OU s historic buildings. The expansion added 8,000 seats, including 56 suites, on the east side. At the same time, the press box was remodeled and outfi tted with several state-of-the-art features. This historical facility is the largest sports arena in the state, and following its recent expansion, now ranks among the 15 largest on-campus facilities in the nation. Everest Training Center Considered one of the premier indoor facilities in the country, the Everest Training Center is a 74,000-square-foot center that includes a full-size playing fi eld, simulated stadium lighting, a complete scoreboard with play clocks, LED 40-yard timing devices and a ceiling that hangs 65 feet above the playing surface to allow for all kicking and throwing drills. McClendon Center for Intercollegiate Athletics While the football gameday facilities in the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium may be more familiar to OU supporters, the north side McClendon Center for Intercollegiate Athletics is one of the most vital areas for OU s entire athletics program as it is the center of student learning and athletics administration activities. Robin Siegfried and Family Strength and Conditioning Complex This 13,000-square-foot facility serves more than 400 athletes in OU s 20 sports. The state-of-theart facility inside the Barry Switzer Center has been central to OU s success in recent years and helped develop OU s reputation as a pioneer in the strength and conditioning fi eld. FAST TRACK The John Jacobs Track was altered and re-surfaced to include European Oval turns for a faster track. Other improvements include spectator seating for 2,000; new rest rooms and concessions; and the installation of championship lighting.

135 Barry Switzer Center A special feature is the Barry Switzer Center on the south side of the Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, where OU s storied football history is displayed, media conferences are held and recruits are entertained. The center experienced a signifi cant upgrade to refl ect this success and to fully realize the original vision as an exhibit area focusing on OU s greatest victories and most successful coaching eras. Henry J. Freede, M.D., Sports Medicine Facility This 8,000-square-foot sports medicine facility within the Barry Switzer Center treats athletes from all 20 sports, ensuring the best possible health for OU student-athletes through preventative medicine and post-injury treatment and rehabilitation. Fred and Mary Eddy Jones Foundation Red Room The Red Room is where OU football players meet as a team or offensive/defensive units to watch motivational videos before each game. OU s offense and defense post their goals for each week, and the Sooner coach holds his post-game press conference. Headington Family Tennis Center The construction of the $1.4 million, 12-court championship facility created for the tennis teams during the athletic campaign was particularly notable because it was donations exclusively from tennis lettermen who made the new courts possible. John Crain Field at the OU Soccer Complex The soccer program boasts a fi rst-class, beautiful regulation fi eld with a modern turf and drainage system. Berms provide a place for children and others to sit or play, enhancing the fi eld s family atmosphere. Softball Complex In 2002, the Robert E. Young and Family Softball Locker Room was added to the Softball Complex, giving the team a spacious and comfortable gathering place for preparation and relaxation. In 2003, the softball fi eld was named in honor of retired softball coach and women s administrator Marita Hynes. Baseball Expansion L. Dale Mitchell Park was completed when the press box underwent state-of-the-art improvements including four suites and a press area, the Mike Treps Media Room. John Jacobs Track and Field Complex The project, which was completed in spring 2004, includes a 25,000-square-foot building connecting the Mosier Indoor Practice Facility with the Everest Training Center. This new building includes track and fi eld locker rooms, a sports medicine room and a video teaching room. The John Jacobs Track was altered and re-surfaced to include European Oval turns for a faster track and nine 48-inch wide lanes. Other improvements include upgrades of fi eld event areas, placing them directionally north/south and east/west to take advantage of wind conditions; spectator seating for 2,000; new rest rooms and concessions; and the installation of championship lighting. Howard McCasland Field House Located in the heart of campus just north of Gaylord Family - Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, the Field House provides a fi rst-class training and competition venue for the OU volleyball and wrestling teams. The $6 million facelift, which was completed in September 2005, included a full interior renovation. The historic fl oor was resanded and repainted. The HVAC system, sound system and scoreboards were all upgraded. New lighting and chair-back seating were installed and the entire facility was repainted. THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA SOONERS ON DECK Scheduled to begin in November of 2005, the John Crain Field and Headington Family Tennis Centers will be adjoined by a multi-purpose complex that will include locker rooms, meeting and video rooms, a press box and coaches offi ces.

136 THE HOME OF OKLAHOMA BASEBALL L. Dale Mitchell Park Information Year Opened: 1982 Seating Capacity: 2,700 Dimensions: LF - 335; CF - 411; RF First Game: Feb. 27, 1982 (Oklahoma 15, Cameron University 4) Largest Crowd: 4,544, vs. Texas (May 4, 1995) Overall Record: (.796) Named for the mid-1940s Sooner letterman who still holds OU s career and single-season batting records, L. Dale Mitchell Park was dedicated prior to the 1982 season. Originally constructed at a cost of $1.27 million, the facilities second phase was recently completed that both increased seating capacity and provides state-of-the art team and crowd facilities. With a $1.3 million price tag, the fi rst phase of the renovation was completed during the 1998 season and includes an upper concourse, additional rest rooms and additional concession stands. Phase two of the plan has provided for new locker rooms, training room facility and equipment room for the Sooners. Prior to the 2002 season, OU completed one of the fi nal stages of the project as the press box facility underwent state-of-the-art improvements. The press box and radio broadcast booths were signifi cantly expanded as well as VIP suites and a handicap-accessible elevator were also added. Plans are also in the works to add a National Championship team meeting room and indoor batting/pitching facilities contained within an addition behind the third base dugout. Once this project is completed, L. Dale Mitchell Park will provide Sooner players and fans alike with one of the most exciting atmospheres for collegiate baseball in the Big 12 Conference and the nation. An L. Dale Mitchell Park-record 4,544 fans jammed the stadium on May 4, 1995, to witness the Sooners record a 3-2 win over rival Texas en route to OU s second consecutive NCAA College World Series appearance Beam Clay Field of the Year The University of Oklahoma baseball program was awarded the top honor in the collegiate division of the Beam Clay Baseball Diamond of the Year Award in The award, sponsored by Beam Clay and Baseball America, recognizes the best playing surfaces in three levels of baseball: professional, college and schools, municipalities and parks. The honor marked the second year in a row that OU s L. Dale Mitchell Park was placed as one of the best college baseball fi elds in the nation after fi nishing second in the competition in The award is a great honor for the grounds crew and for the team to play on such a quality fi eld, expressed OU s Athletic Turf Manager Kenny Gajewski, who oversees the maintenance of all Sooner athletic fi elds. Gajewski is assisted at L. Dale Mitchell Park by one full-time assistant and three part-time students. There is a lot of hard work and pride that goes into maintaining this fi eld. The grounds crew is usually the fi rst to arrive at the fi eld in the mornings to work the dirt and make sure the grass surface plays well while battling the wind and heat of Oklahoma, said Gajewski. Oklahoma took fi rst place honors in the competition in 1994, the last time OU was able to enter the contest prior to last season. Programs can enter the competition only once every fi ve years after taking fi rst place honors. Four major league head groundskeepers served as the judges in the competition. L. DALE MITCHELL PARK FAN SUPPORT More than 2,400 fans were on hand for the Sooners April 30 game against Nebraska at L. Dale Mitchell Park last season. The game was one of the baseball team s 11 games televised by the ESPN family last season. Overall, 13 Sooner baseball games were televised in

142 A UNIVERSITY TOWN WITH A CHAMPIONSHIP SPIRIT Norman is an ever-changing city of nearly 100,000 residents. Located in the heart of the state, it has grown to become the third largest city in Oklahoma. Despite its continuous growth, it has maintained the spirit and serenity of a small close-knit community. Since the Oklahoma landrush of 1889, Norman has grown into a popular and smart city. The spirit of Norman and its citizens is unwavering and uncompromising. While other towns were clamoring to become the state capital, Norman residents desired to have the fi rst state university. When the fi rst OU president got off the train and saw a prairie, he saw opportunity. As home to the state s premier educational institution, Norman boasts an excellent quality of life and is a city that thrives on and celebrates the diversity of its community. Legendary University of Oklahoma football coach Barry Switzer called Norman a university town with a championship spirit. Norman continually exhibits its love for sports by hosting numerous local and national athletic events. In the last fi ve years alone, Norman has served as host of the NCAA Men s Gymnastics Championship, an NCAA men s golf regional, NCAA softball regionals, NCAA men s and women s gymnastics regionals, NCAA women s tennis regionals, NCAA track and fi eld regional and the NCAA women s basketball regionals. In addition, the Big 12 Conference Men s and Women s Tennis, Track and Field, Wrestling, Women s Golf, and Women s Gymnastics Championships were held in Norman. Cultural activities are unlimited in Norman, making it the ideal backdrop for the University of Oklahoma. As home to people of all ethnic and educational backgrounds, the city has something to offer everyone. Norman is home to a variety of enriching events and attractions, including the Sooner Theater, which hosts a series of entertaining theatrical performances produced by locally-based talent and touring companies. The city also showcases local and regional artists in its annual May Fair. In addition, through the university s School of Drama, School of Dance and the School of Music, stage productions are offered year round. The Medieval Fair has become a springtime tradition in Norman as people from around the country converge on the city for one weekend each April to partake in a fascinating look back in time. Each year, an area park is transformed into a festival of sights, sounds and tastes straight from the Middle Ages. Knights joust, jesters entertain and story tellers spin tales of a magical time in history. The $44 million Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, a state-of-the-art facility designed to display a collection of historical and natural science items that trace the southwest s development since prehistoric times, opened in May History buffs will also enjoy the Cleveland Country Historical House which holds exhibits relating to the development of this area of the state. For art enthusiasts, the Fred Jones Jr. Memorial Art Center houses permanent collections, nationally and world-renowned traveling exhibits as well as a yearly student art show. The museum has recently added the Weitzenhoffer Collection of French Impressionist paintings -- the single most important gift of art ever given to a U.S. public university.

143 Maintaining a progressive approach to the future while remembering its history, Norman continues to be a well-balanced community, proud to be the home of the University of Oklahoma. OKLAHOMA CITY Oklahoma City, the capital of Oklahoma, is located just 18 miles from the Norman campus. It was the fi rst city settled in the Land Run of 1889 because of its position as the center of the state. It is because of this central location that Oklahoma City has become known as the home of America s western heritage. Whether adventure, history, culture or sports, Oklahoma City offers a variety of attractions and activities different from any other place in the country. Oklahoma City was born on the afternoon of April 22, 1889, when the central portion of what is now Oklahoma was opened to settlement by presidential proclamation. Thousands crossed the borders of unassigned lands at the sound of gunfi re at high noon. Never before or since has such a run occurred anywhere on the earth. By the time the dust had settled on that historic day, many people had staked their claim at Oklahoma Station, an area which was destined to become Oklahoma City, a leading city in America. In 1911, Oklahoma City offi cially became the capital after a statewide election moved the state seal from Guthrie. Oklahoma City has become a haven for exciting sports action. It is home of one professional team, two semi-professional sports teams and the host of the NCAA Women College Softball World Series and Big 12 Softball Championship. The NBA s Hornet relocated to OKC in the September of 2005 and will play the majortiy of their schedule at the Ford Center. The Oklahoma RedHawks, 1996 American Association champions (then named the Oklahoma City 89ers), are the Triple-A baseball affi liate of the Texas Rangers. The team plays in the 13,066-seat Southwestern Bell Bricktown Ballpark, one of the plushest venues in all of minor league sports. The ballpark served host to a 2004 NCAA baseball regional and the 2005 Big 12 Baseball Championship. Hockey mania runs rampant with the recent success of the Central Hockey League s Oklahoma City Blazers. The Blazers won the CHL crown in 1996 and are yearly one of the league s best teams. In addition, the city has hosted numerous PGA and Senior PGA Tour events. TULSA Tulsa, the state s second largest city, is located 100 miles to the northeast of Norman in the heart of Oklahoma s Green Country. Ask people to describe Tulsa, and you ll likely get many different answers. It was a city forever changed by the discovery of oil in It is home to art deco treasures and nationally renowned museums. Its African-American heritage left its mark, in both the business and music worlds. And it s a city of nostalgia and special memories for countless Americans due to its location on historic Route 66. Tulsa is a cosmopolitan town that appeals to both young families and retirees. National touring exhibitions can be seen at the Philbrook Museum of Art, which was recently featured on the television program America s Castles. For great western art, check out the Gilcrease Museum, and music legends are commemorated at Oklahoma s Jazz Hall of Fame. Other unique attractions worth a stop include the Elsing Museum, Ida Dennie Willis Museum of Miniatures, Dolls & Toys, Tulsa Air and Space Center and the Fenster Museum of Jewish Art. THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA SOONERS 18 MILES Located just 18 miles north of Norman, the state s capital, Oklahoma City, offers all the trappings of a large metropolitan area within an easy drive. H-TOWN The New Orleans Hornets of the NBA have relocated to Oklahoma City, where they will play the majority of their home games at the Ford Center. 143

144 UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT DAVID L. BOREN David L. Boren, who has served Oklahoma as governor and U.S. senator, became the 13th president of the University of Oklahoma in November He is the fi rst person in state history to have served in all three positions. Boren is widely respected for his academic credentials, his longtime support of education, and for his distinguished political career as a reformer of the American political system. A graduate of Yale University in 1963, Boren majored in American history, graduated in the top one percent of his class and was elected Phi Beta Kappa. He was selected as a Rhodes Scholar and earned a master s degree in politics, philosophy and economics from Oxford University, England, in In 1968, he received a law degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Law, where he was on the Law Review, elected to the Order of the Coif, and won the Bledsoe Prize as the outstanding graduate by a vote of the faculty. As Oklahoma s governor from 1974 through 1978, Boren promoted key educational initiatives that have had an enduring impact on Oklahoma.

Also, the fi rst state funding for Gifted and Talented classes was provided in 1976 and, from 1976 through 1978, Oklahoma ranked fi rst among all states in the percentage increases of funding for higher education. One of Boren s most far-reaching projects in promoting quality education at all levels is the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence, which he founded in The foundation recognizes outstanding public school students and teachers and helps establish private local foundations to help give academic endowment grants to local public schools. As a senator, he was the author of the National Security Education Act in 1992, which provides scholarships for study abroad and for learning additional languages, as well as legislation to restore the tax deductibility of gifts of appreciated property to universities in Boren, also a former state legislator, spent nearly three decades in elective politics before becoming the president of the University of Oklahoma. Boren was the youngest governor in the nation when he served from 1974 to Known as a reformer, Boren campaigned with a broom as his symbol. During his term, he instituted many progressive programs, including confl ict-of-interest rules, campaign-fi nancing disclosure, stronger open meeting laws for public bodies, and more competitive bidding on state government contracts.

For more than 10 years, he led the fi ght for congressional campaign fi nance reform and for legislation discouraging administration and congressional staff from cashing in on government experience and contacts by becoming lobbyists. In addition, he introduced legislation seeking to limit gifts and travel subsidies that government workers, including members of Congress, can receive from lobbyists. Boren also chaired the special Joint Committee on the Organization of Congress, which produced proposals to make Congress more effi cient and responsive by streamlining congressional bureaucracy, reducing staff sizes and reforming procedures to end legislative gridlock. Boren left the U.S. Senate in 1994 with an approval rating of 9l percent after being re-elected with 83 percent of the vote in 1990, the highest percentage in the nation in a U.S. Senate contest in that election year. Boren served from on the Yale University Board of Trustees. His university experience also includes four years on the faculty of Oklahoma Baptist University, where he was chairman of the Department of Political Science and of the Division of Social Sciences. In 1993, the American Association of University Professors presented Boren with the Henry Yost Award as Education Advocate of the Year. In April 2004, Boren received the Mory s Cup from the Mory s Association from Yale University. In making the presentation to Boren, it was noted that he was the fi rst Yale graduate in the university s history extending over three centuries to have served as a Governor, U.S. Senator and President of a major university. Under Boren s leadership, the University of Oklahoma has developed and emerged as a pacesetter university in American public higher education, with 20 major new programs initiated since his inauguration. They include establishment of the an Honors College, the Charles M. Russell Center for the Study of Art of the American West, the Artist-in-Residence Program, the International Programs Center, and the Faculty-in-Residence Program putting faculty family apartments in student residence halls. The Retired Professors Program has been started, bringing 50 retired full professors back to the University to teach freshmen. Boren is married to Molly Shi Boren, a former judge and English teacher. Molly Boren has two degrees from the University of Oklahoma, a master s degree in English and a Juris Doctor degree from the OU College of Law. A native of Seminole, Boren has two children, Carrie Christine Boren, a graduate student at Oxford University and David Daniel Boren, a member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Devoting much of his life to public service, Boren drew from the example of his father, the late Congressman Lyle H. Boren. DAVID L. BOREN 144

145 DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS JOE CASTIGLIONE In seven years, Joe Castiglione has established a pattern of excellence that few in his profession could match. While Castiglione would quickly point out that the credit belongs to the student-athletes and coaches, the staff and the university administration, the donors and the fans, someone had to make the fi rst step to take the lead.
