April 2016 Newsletter

Extended Sooner Seasons
It is a superb year to be a Sooner! Buddy and the Men’s BBall squad in the Final Four with a legitimate shot at OU’s first basketball national championship. The Sooner Women’s BBall squad making the Big Dance for the 17th straight year. Ladies Softball poised to make another run for all the marbles. Gymnastics on the verge of history with both teams ready to bring home a national championship. Oh and there was that little ol’ college football playoff thing.

For the Final Four, we will be at the award winning Stoney’s Bar and Grill (voted best place to watch sports in Denver). Tip is at 4:09pm MST, so make sure you get there early for the best seats. We will have our game day menu and drink specials. There might even be some t-shirts for sale to celebrate this little bit of Sooner history. Since we will not be playing our fellow Big XII foe, we will have the ENTIRE bar to ourselves. Let’s beat last week’s basketball watch party record of 200 by packing the house Saturday.

Check the local listings (or our social media) for updates and game times!

Nuggets/Thunder Game Night with the OU Club of Colorado
There are still a few seats left for the annual Night Out with the Nuggets (Thunder). The Nuggets organization has offered our club a fantastic deal for lower level seats. Our friends from Oklahoma State and Tulsa have been invited as we share one love for either team. I mean I guess you can have two loves for two teams or no love for any team…. Well, come on out Tuesday, April 5 at 7pm MST to share a fun night out with friends.

Yell Fore, Shoot Six, Write Down Five
The inaugural Crimson & Cream Classic is really taking shape. I am excited to share that the event site will be live soon. Sooners that are fans of the links will have their chance to showcase their skills at Applewood Golf Course in Golden. We will have the registration page up soon and will make sure you get the link, but mark your calendar now for Friday June 17th! The great thing about this event is you do not have to be a golfer to get in on the fun. We will have a party right after the tournament and of course all profits for this event will go to scholarships for Colorado high school students looking to go to the best university EVER!

I will leave you with this quote from Phyllis Diller….

The reason the pro tells you to keep your head down is so you can’t see him laughing.
