Swope Scope
by Lacey Swope
Above average precipitation and below average temperaturesthis is not what Oklahoma
summers are made of. This year, however, has been anything but normal. Its a nice cycle
we have found ourselves in. The rain and moisture keep on coming, which keeps all the
vegetation nice and green. This also keeps the heat from running away and getting out of
control. Since our summer has been on the mild side, this gets everyone wondering what
this means for winter. Its a perfectly logical question most of us ask. What will all of this
moisture mean for the winter? Is it going to be brutally cold? Does all the rain mean a lot of
snow for snowmen?
Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on how you look at it, our atmosphere is much
more complex than this. A cool summer does not equal a cold winter. Wet summers do
not equal snowy winters. In fact, there is no direct correlation from any season to another
here in Oklahoma. We know this by looking back at other cool wet summers. Those years
were followed by warm dry winters, warm wet winters, cold dry winters and cold wet
winters. Long range forecasting is one of the most complicated and challenging things we
face in this science. We are limited by technology and our own understanding of global
atmospheric interactions.
One thing that can have enormous impacts on Oklahoma winters is El Nino. El Nino is
not a storm. It is a pattern change in air flow and oceanic currents off the coast of South
America. This leads to warmer than average waters and typically steers the jet stream
over the southern plains. This can mean more storms and thus more precipitation in the
winter months, and typically means close to average temperatures. We are expecting a
weak El Nino to take effect into the fall and winter. As more data becomes available I will
give a more updated outlook for the upcoming winter months. For now, lets enjoy what is
left of this amazing summer and cheer on our favorite Oklahoma Sooners!

Tigers Will Use Speed on Offense

by Tyler McComas
A year ago, the Norman

Tigers ended their
season in a hard way.
Dreams of a deep run
in the playoffs were
smashed after the
Tigers suffered a loss
to Lawton in the last
game of the regular
season, which cost them
postseason play.
The thought of that night
is still on the minds of
every player on the
roster. Thats what is
pushing them through
grueling summer
workouts and two-aday practices in the
Oklahoma heat. Thats
what will be on their
minds when they start
their journey through the
2014 season.
Head coach Greg Nation

team has accomplished
this summer a secret.

Kolar to Lead Timberwolves

by Chris Joseph
The last two years have seen some great football by Norman North. After a trip to the
state title game and another playoff appearance last year, the T-Wolves are poised to
make another playoff run. However, it may be a little tougher this year. New districting
has the T-Wolves in a pretty tough group of teams but should make for an exciting
season.
The first seven games for the Timberwolves are no joke. They start with the CrossTown Clash against rival Norman High before taking on tough Yukon and Westmoore
teams the Timberwolves have struggled with in recent years.
Follow that up with games against new district 6A foes, the always powerful Owasso
Rams and the Tulsa Union Redskins.
Up next is Mustang, the team that knocked the Timberwolves out of the playoffs last
year with Chandler Garrett back at the helm. Edmond North will be next and is loaded
as well. Putnam City North and Moore follow after that, before wrapping up the year
with a young, but talented Southmoore squad.
Hoping to continue his good play John Kolar, the Oklahoma State commit, will
lead the Timberwolves as quarterback, with ZQuan Hogan carrying the bulk of the
play making responsibility. A mature offensive line should be a strong point for the
T-Wolves if they can find some skill players for Kolar to target.
6 // BOYD STREET MAGAZINE
The defensive side of the ball was a weakness last year for the Timberwolves and led
to many shoot-outs. This year Mason Volk will lead the way at linebacker and Cory
Tipsword will look to be an anchor for the defensive line.

Visit Norman September

Must-Dos
Now that we are in the heart of Its Football Time in Oklahoma time, how about some other Norman must-dos for
September?
1. Take in the last Summer Breeze concert of the season. Kim Lenz and the Jaguars will play at 7:30 p.m. at Lions
Park, 450 S. Flood. The Los Angeles-based musician Kim Lenz has been cultivating her take on rockabilly since
1998, releasing three albums, including a pair for Hightone Records one of the most influential labels in the genre
and playing hundreds of dates around the world.
2. Stroll through the Cleveland County Free Fair, Sept. 4-7. Chomp on some corn dogs, drink some lemonade
and inhale some cotton candy out at the Cleveland County Fairgrounds, 601 E. Robinson. Come to this traditional
county fair for everything from goat roping to carnival rides. Enjoy a variety of tasty fair food, kick back and listen to
endless live entertainment or browse through livestock displays. The Cleveland County Free Fair will also feature its
Celebrity Cow Milking Contest, 4H, FFA and OHCE exhibits and a carnival midway full of fun games for kids and
adults.
3. Put on your best walking shoes for Second Friday Circuit of Art on Sept. 12. The night before the Sooners play
the Tennessee Volunteers, make plans to visit Downtown Norman for the art walk. The galleries open their doors
along with almost every other Main Street business for Friday night fun. VisitNorman has been coordinating Food
Truck Central so check out VisitNorman.com for more information about where the trucks will be parked.
4. No Sooner September would be complete without cruising by Groovefest at Andrews Park. The music starts at
noon and lasts through 10 p.m. Groovefest was created by the OU artists, musicians, and activists in 1986 to raise
human rights awareness all over the world. Norman Groovefest hopes to highlight the great work of many local
organizations, artists, and businesses that promote human rights. The event will feature live music, art activities, and
inspirational speakers. Admission is free.
5. Beginning Sept. 9, take in a Tuesday noon concert at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art, 500 Elm Avenue. The
Tuesday Noon Concert series is a cooperative effort between the OU School of Music and the FJJMA. Set aside part
of your lunch hour for these 30-minute concerts performed by OU music students and faculty.

Success by 6: The Smart Start for Norman

by Jen Elsner
graduate from high school and lead more successful

lives. Emig says that third grade is so critical
because up until third grade you are learning to read,
but from third grade on, you are reading to learn.

Christy Emig, the Director of the Success By 6/
Smart Start Norman initiative, led me back to her office
at the United Way Plaza for our interview. The first thing
I noticed was the side wall full of plastic bins, neatly
organizing several childrens books. However, many of the
bins were empty or had very few in them. After some brief
introductions, we got our interview under way.

Success By 6/Smart Start Norman is a school
readiness initiative. Mrs. Emig oversees the program for
Cleveland, as well as McClain counties here in Oklahoma.
Success by 6 is a nationwide United Way initiative.
However, the one here in Norman is funded by Smart
Start Oklahoma. The overall mission of Success By 6 /
Smart Start Norman, is to ensure that all children are safe,
healthy, eager to learn and ready to succeed by the time
they enter school.

How does the organization do this? One way is
by going out into the community and performing formal
and informal analyses. These analyses look at what
challenges families might be facing in order to help their
children be prepared for school cognitively, socially and
emotionally. They look at who in the community might be
able to help address those challenges, and then help set
up those collaborations to ensure those needs are met.
They also work closely with parents, childcare providers,
pediatricians and anyone who works with kids in order
to help educate people about how critical the early years
before the age of six really are. Emig states that the brain
becomes fully developed in the first three years: Its a
critical window, she says. If children are read to every
day when they are young, especially in those critical years,
and have positive learning experiences through regular
interaction, it will help ensure a more healthy, successful
future for them. She further states that if they are ready to
learn by the time they reach school, then they will be ready
to read on a third grade level by the time they get there.
If they are ready for that, then they are more likely to

In 1988, Success By 6 became a national
movement. In 1999, several business communities
around the state came together to ensure they
were doing their part to build a strong and healthy
Oklahoma. It was clear starting with the early years
of child development was imperative in order to help
build a strong workforce for the future of Oklahoma,
as well as being able to understand and address
challenges for their current employees and their
familys needs. By 2003, Smart Start became a piece
of legislation signed to existence by Governor Brad
Henry, and was officially known as the Oklahoma
Partnership for School Readiness Act.

Even though Success By 6 is a nationwide
program, the locations are very individualized. Each
Success By 6 is a local movement because each
community has different needs and different means
and opportunities to meet those needs, however
they all share the same mission. The Success By 6/
Smart Start Norman branchs collaborations have
resulted in successful programs and services for our
community. For instance, Early Birds is a partnership
with Norman Public Schools, and is a school writing
as a parent class for families with children from the
ages of birth to five. In this class, families are given
informative materials in order to assist them in being
teachers to their children so that the kids are better
prepared to enter school. Prescription for Reading
is a partnership with local pediatricians and family
doctors where they are provided with a free book and
a prescription for physicians to hand out to families
of young kids, directing them to read every day. The
organization also has a community resource van they
66
use for an initiative called Storytimes. They use
the van to drive out to apartment complexes in the
community and read to those families. They also
help coordinate free health screenings, community
educational and literacy events and dole out
lots and lots of books at different events held
throughout the year.

Want to get involved? There are two major
ways that you can help the Success By 6/Smart
Start Norman initiative: 1) by volunteering to read
and 2) through donations.

The organization is always looking for
volunteers to read in local child care centers. If
you are interested in volunteering your time in
this way, please contact Miss Emig at cemig@
unitedway-norman.org.

There are three specific ways that you can
donate. Remember the lots and lots of books
I talked about them giving away? According to
Emig, the organization gives away anywhere from
5,000-6,000 books per year to children in our
community. Its probably the biggest impact we
have because we know there are children in this
community that dont own a single book, and they
come to Storytimes [and other sponsored events]
to get those books, said Emig. So the first items
you can donate that would be the biggest help are
childrens board books, or picture books, (ages 0-5
years). Donations can be sent or brought directly
to the office of the United Way of Norman, at 2424
Springer Dr., Suite 304, Norman, OK 73069.
child sponsorship for the Early Birds program,

where your donation would ensure that each
family participating in the program gets a bag
of helpful items and information in order to help
get their children ready to succeed by the time
they get to school. If you choose to donate or
sponsor a child, please contact Christy Emig at
405-329-2025, or by the email address listed
above.

Emig says, Having books in your home
and being read to on a regular basis, are the
two most important predictors of future success.
And its an easy thing to do. Shes right; it is
an easy thing to do if you have the resources
and knowledge to do it. If you would like to help
foster the success of the children in our district,
you might consider looking into the Success By
6/Smart Start Norman initiative to help create a
brighter future for Norman and our neighboring
communities.

6/Smart Start Norman by visiting them on
Facebook.

The second and third ways to donate
are financial. You can give a general donation
to the United Way Success By 6/Smart Start
Norman. Or you can donate through a $55 per

Norman High School Band
HIGH SCHOOL MARCHING BAND

Norman prepares for the season
Its football season in Norman. Changing leaves, fresh classes and

Sooner Saturdays await as the weather cools and the anticipation of
watching your favorite team rises. Not only does autumn bring lazy
football weekends and cooler weather, but also marching season.
Norman is proud to host two of the best marching bands in the state,
the Norman North Timberwolves and the Norman High Tigers. Fresh
out of band camp, these schools are ready to show off both their
musical talent and marching skills in competitions across the state.
The Norman North Timberwolves marching band is under the
direction of Trent Davis along with percussion director Brian Dailey.
Both directors are alumni of the University Of Oklahoma and have
bachelors in music education and music of percussion performance,
respectively. Head Director Davis also holds a doctorate in musical
arts. Their talent is illustrated through the style and technique
of the high school band members as they compete and place in
competitions year after year.
Watch the Timberwolves perform at every halftime game starting with
their season opener Thursday, September 4. They play their local
rival Norman High after the Taste of Norman, and spectators will get
their first glimpse of how the Norman marching bands are doing. The
Norman North band is known for local, statewide and national titles.
They are recipients of the Sweepstakes with Accent and Outstanding
Achievement Awards from the Oklahoma Secondary Schools
Activities Association.
The Norman North band has a variety of bands in order to help
students gain recognition and perform in different areas of music.
Students can audition for the wind ensemble, an elite varsity band
that showcases talented older members. Other bands include a
symphonic band, a jazz band, a big band and an orchestral winds
and percussion bands. My favorite, the big band, plays popular music
from the ages and has earned a spectacular reputation not only in
Norman North High School Band
Norman but also throughout Oklahoma.

Norman High ended their band camp
August 13 and begins their season on
a good note. The band previews on
September 4 at the Taste of Norman and
performs at halftime during the Norman
High and Norman North football game.
The Norman High Band has many
showcases throughout the next few
weeks. They will compete in the state
marching tournament at the end of
October and in OMEA/CODA only a
few weeks later. Their most talented
members will be showcased in the
CODA band and members will also be
featured in Norman Highs musical,
White Christmas.
Norman High has many bands to
showcase the talent of their members.
Students can demonstrate their talents in
Norman Highs jazz band, wind bad and
symphonic band. Members and directors
are excited to see the success that will
come with this season. Go Tigers!
If youre unable to wait for football
season to watch these talented bands
perform, make sure to check them out in
The Taste of Norman September 4.

The taste of Norman is a benefit that
helps raise over $200,000 dollars for
the Norman bands every year. Norman
restaurants donate food and for $15 you
can purchase a ticket for ten food items.
Use your ticket to find food items up and
down Boyd Street from popular Norman
venues. If you dont want to wait in line
on the fourth, make sure to get a ticket
from band members and do not forget
to get free tickets from the directors.
During the festivities both bands will give
a performance showcasing all that they
have been working on. Find a Norman
band member for an advance ticket to
the unique show.
Football season is here, which means
your favorite bands will be showcasing
their talents all season long. Make sure
to check out their performances at the
many showcases, football halftimes,
band competitions and events around
Norman. Go Sooners, go Tigers and go
Timberwolves! The Norman residents
look forward to your successful
marching seasons.
OEC Annual Meeting

Oklahoma Electric Cooperative continually works hard to keep its members happy, not just through reliable, affordable
electricity and service, but also through the OEC Annual Meeting. Each year OEC invites its members (those who
receive electricity from OEC) along with their families to an annual night of BBQ, live music and fun for all ages.

We like having the annual meeting because members LOVE it, says OECs
CEO Max Meek. They enjoy coming for fellowship, entertainment, food and prizes.
This year the event was held on August 8th at Lloyd Noble Center. There was catered
BBQ from End O Main in Watonga and activities for everyone in the family. For the
adults there were chances to win over 50 prizes, including a grand prize of $1,000
dollars. For the kids there was a Kids Zone with clowns making balloon animals as
well as games and prizes suited for the younger members. Additionally, there were
three performances by Graystone Bluegrass Revival (featuring OEC District Lineman
Danny Watters), Les Gilliam and the Dove Brothers Band.
OECs business model is a little different from the other electric companies around.
As a not-for-profit, OEC is owned by its members, not by investors. A customer
at another electric company just gets electricity, a member here gets electricity but
actually own a piece of the company, says Mr. Meek. This means tat they strive hard
to please their members the way that other companies strive hard to please their
investors. We are in business strictly for members, to provide reliable electricity at
the lowest possible cost. Any excess profit margins that we have we give back to our
members with a capital credit check.
What began as a small member of a cooperation of rural electric companies is now a
powerhouse of service dedicated to taking care of its customers. Whether its through
the Annual Meeting or through dedicated and reliable service, OEC is continually
working to go above and beyond for its members. Its not just a companywere
building a community with events like the Annual Meeting. And thats the way it
should be.
If you or your loved ones live on OEC lines, look forward to attending next years
Annual Meetingits sure to be even better than this years awesome event! And if you
dont happen to be on OEC lineswell, then I suppose youll just have to be jealous of
the ones who are.

Shines in Womens Bone Health
by Alexandra Bare
The Womens Choice Award Seal for an Americas

Best Hospital for Orthopedics was awarded to Norman
Regional HealthPlex in August for excellence in womens
health.
As one of Americas Best Hospitals for Orthopedics,
Norman Regionals HealthPlex is demonstrating their
commitment to fulfill the needs and preferences of
women by meeting the highest standards of excellence
and performance, states Delia Passi, CEO and founder
of the Womens Choice Award program.
According to the Womens Choice Award (WCA),
the award is chosen by judging services, surgeries,
post-operative recovery and most importantly, patient
recommendations. In fact, the Americas Best Hospitals
for Orthopedics award is the only WCA award that
focuses on patient satisfaction. The WCA hold the
opinions of women at great importance and make sure
their voices are heard.
The WCA website states, Women account for over
85% of all consumer purchases and 90% of all family
healthcare decisions, and control the wealth in the US.
There is no stronger consumer segment than women.
The organization understands the importance of
womens healthcare and strives to give them the best
possible options. The seal is a way for women to know
that their hospital will make their health a top priority.
The Norman Regional HealthPlex joined the ranks of
the best hospitals for womens health in the country.
Their seal shines as a beacon of excellence and
empowerment to female patients not only in Norman, but
across the state.
Our team at Norman Regional is committed to providing
quality care delivered with a compassionate spirit, said
Norman Regional President and CEO David Whitaker.
This award is proof of their commitment to patients.
With the statistics for osteoporosis in women
dangerously high, its important that these women have a
hospital they can trust and count on to take care of them.
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, 80
percent of Americans with osteoporosis are female. Its
reassuring to know that women across Oklahoma can
trust in Norman Regional HealthPlex for outstanding
care with their bone health.

David Goodman
A Sooner Legacy
The
popular
saying, Sooner
born and Sooner
bred, from one of the
most recognizable college
fight songs in the country,
Boomer Sooner, speaks of the long
legacy at the University of Oklahoma.
The lyrics ring true for many Sooner fans
and it certainly does for David Goodspeed, the
program manager of the campus stores with OU IT.

I come from a long line of OU graduates, recounts
Goodspeed.

His family legacy began decades ago in the 1940s
with his grandmother.

It all began with my grandma. She got her masters in
English at OU, says Goodspeed. My wife, mom, dad, uncle,
sister and brother-in-law have all gone to OU.

And that legacy continues today with his children. His
son, Collin, is a sophomore at OU beginning his first year as
a Ruf/Nek. Rylee, his eleven year-old daughter, is diligently
training to reach her dream of being an OU gymnast. She
aspires to then teach gymnastics.

Goodspeed, a transplant from Texas, moved to
Norman in 1985 and has never left.

I love the charm of this town, says Goodspeed.
Norman is such a special place to me. I never wanted to
leave even if it might have meant slowing my career a bit. I
wanted to raise my family here.

He attended Norman High School, graduating in
1989 and then went straight to OU to study criminal justice,
influenced by family and friends that were attorneys or in law
enforcement.

Despite graduating with a degree in criminal justice,
Goodspeed felt more at home working in retail.

It may sound clich but for me its true. I got into retail
because I love people, explains Goodspeed. I am a social
butterfly and it fits me.

So when his wife, Suzanne, told him about an
opportunity to work at OU in the IT department, Goodspeed
knew it was a good fit for him.

It was an opportunity for an exciting career change
for me, recalls Goodspeed. I get to be involved in a little
bit of everything. It has allowed me to do a lot of different
things.

Goodspeed helped open the first OU IT store in
2008, using his expertise from his years working at Target
and as the general manager of the retail shops in Will
Rogers World Airport. He left OU for a few years to work
for Apple, helping other universities wanting to sell Apple
products. He returned to OU in May of 2013 when he
heard about the proposed idea of opening another IT store,
intrigued by what the store was intended to be.

When I heard what they are doing I was excited to
come back, remembers Goodspeed.

He spent the following five months gearing up to
open the ONE University Store in the Union.

My main job is to set the tone in each store, says
Goodspeed. I wanted to get beyond whether or not we
were going to sell a computer but rather focus on enhancing
the student experience.

Ive worked with schools from Texas to Florida,
the Carolinas, Tennessee, a lot of big universities. No one
else is doing this, says Goodspeed. Colleges around the
country are calling us to find out what we are doing.

In our high tech world, students today need
access to the cutting edge products that are shaping their
prospective industries.

In higher education, students are supposed to find
new creative ways of doing things, believes Goodspeed.

The two OU IT stores have taken shape into two
very different stores and each fill a very different purpose.
The store on Boyd Street offers students a place to buy
essential technology that will help them not only during their
time at OU but also into their prospective careers.

We are not just selling products, comments
Goodspeed. Instead, we educate students on what they
should buy and what they can do with it.

The stores are staffed with current students
from all levels, beginning freshmen to graduate level, so
chances are someone will have firsthand knowledge of
what students from most colleges really need to succeed,
according to Goodspeed.

Just the other day, a dad and his daughter came
in to get a laptop for her engineering classes, says
Goodspeed. One of my staff who is a chemical engineering
student helped her find what she needed.

The ONE U Store, in the Union, is the brick and
mortar part of ONE University, offering students something
quite unique. The ONE U Store is an innovative technology store

and learning space.

Its focus is the new technology that is coming, shares
Goodspeed. The store is really a huge playground. Its kind of
like the science museum of the future. You can play around with
ground-breaking technology.

We have a whole different way of looking at emerging
technology and how to use it to drive down the cost of
education, explains Goodspeed. We, as leaders, care about
giving the students the best experience during their time at OU.

From iPad programs to iTunes U, ONE University is a
university-wide digital initiative utilizing technology and digital
content to enhance the student experience and save students
money. Not only offering students simple and cheaper solutions
like access to free digital textbooks and free apps instead of
$50 clickers to use in the classroom, the ONE U Store goes
further, offering students access to technology like Google Liquid
Galaxy, Google Glass, Leap Motion, iBooks, 3D Printing, Janux
and other cutting edge technologies.

We have 3D printers that are free to the public. Over
500 people have used it logging over 2000 build hours, says
Goodspeed. This technology goes beyond just the engineering
classrooms and into other colleges like the college of business.

Imagine you are in a product management class, offers
Goodspeed. You can create a product in the classroom.

With the 3D printer, students can make prototypes
for pennies on the dollar when compared to typical traditional
methods, reveals Goodspeed.

Some professors even hold class in the store.

We have a GPS tracking class using the Google Liquid
Galaxy, says Goodspeed.

ONE University goes beyond the OU campus.

After meeting with the principal of Bridge Creek Middle
School, I challenged his students to help create 3D renderings
of buildings on OUs campus, of their school and for extra credit
even their own homes, says Goodspeed.

New projects are beginning all the time which will create
more public educational content and promote new learning
opportunities. Be on the lookout for a drone to be hanging around
the store soon, entices Goodspeed.

Our store is fully staffed by students, says Goodspeed.
We use the students expertise to make all this happen.

With a son currently at OU and a daughter working
toward that goal, Goodspeed has a vested interest in making OU
the best it can be.

The OU today is very different than it was even a few
years ago, shares Goodspeed. We dont want to pigeon-hole
ourselves; instead, we ask the students what do you want to do?
The vision is whatever we want it to be for OU.

I want to open their eyes to things they didnt know was
possible. We sell dreams and ideas. The technology will sell
itself.

The convenience

is coming
cube
By Mary Newport
Its big. Its fast. And this October, The Cube is coming
to Norman.
It sounds like alien transport, a futuristic band or a
science fiction device, but Joe Lawrence, CEO of
The Cube Convenience Stores LLC, describes it as a
neighborhood concierge.
The Cube is a business model providing an exclusive
drive-through shopping experience like no other
convenience store, Lawrence said. The goal is simple.
At the Cube, [customers] can buy groceries, freshmade hot food, real coffee, great fountain drinks and
a whole host of other daily need items promptly and
courteously, all without getting out of the car.
If all goes according to plan, The Cube will be Normans
number one stop for busy people in urgent need of
a bottle of dish soap on the fly or lazy people who
want to purchase a pack of sodas without leaving
their vehicle. Lawrence said the planned selection will
consist of just about anything customers could need
in a hurry, including snacks and beverages, beer and
tobacco, grocery items and health and beauty products.
Most notable is our fresh-made food, he said. Our
executive chef, Andre Revella, has a European culinary
education and has been working in the food industry
for over 40 years. He has put together a delicious and
wholesome menu for The Cube that is as fast as it is
tasty.
The store will be open sometime this October, with the
exact opening date depending on the progress of hiring and training, which begin in August and September
respectively. The Cubes first location will be at 1415 W
Main Street. Lawrence said the location is ideal for the
first store because Norman is as bustling as The Cube
hopes to be.
Its a great city with people that are always

on the go, he said. We thought it had a
vibe that matched what we were trying
to accomplish with The Cube. Its been a
great reception, too. People are as excited
about The Cube as we are.
The stores planned second location,
however, is something of a mystery.
Lawrence said a second Cube will
eventually be going up, but not until the
original Cube has been running for six

months or so. Until then, hes keeping
the second location quiet. If it works out,
he said there are plans for a few Cube
locations in Norman before it branches out
to other cities.
Overall, he said the idea behind The Cube
is to bring real convenience to customers.
The Cube started with a conversation
about what was convenient about a
convenience store, he said. What would
it look like if it was truly convenient?
We designed our store around these
concepts. Its clean and attractive, the staff
is motivated and well-trained, the food is
wholesome, the coffee is great and the
selection is diverse.
The Pride
of Oklahoma
The University of Oklahoma students, faculty, alumni

and fans flock by the thousands to the Gaylord Stadium
each fall to cheer on their Sooner football team. Its not
just the football that brings pride to the Sooner legend. At
halftime, the field comes alive with music as The Pride of
Oklahoma shows off the best of the best musical talent.
Dr. Stolarik has taught and arranged for marching

bands in Florida, Texas, Arkansas and Wisconsin, as

About the Pride
The Pride of Oklahoma is a long standing music program at the University of Oklahoma for over a century. From humble
beginnings, the band has been the recipient of many awards in the music field including the prestigious Sudler Trophy, an award
equivalent to the Heisman Trophy for bands and one that cannot be awarded to a band twice. The Pride of Oklahoma was the
sixth recipient of this award.
The Pride of Oklahoma includes members from over 70 different majors across campus. Members of the band have an
average GPA of 3.0 and are involved in many distinguished academic programs including National Merit Scholars, Regents
Scholars, Deans List, Honors College, Eagle Scouts, Byrd Scholars and Goldwater Scholars. The Pride of Oklahoma stands
for excellence in musicianship, academics, school spirit and commitment to the role in the surrounding community. For more

It seems that every four years, the world becomes enamored

with the beautiful game of soccer, ftbol if you will. Team USA
advanced and the nation was captivated. Record numbers of
people watched the World Cup in Brazil this summer and are
already talking about the next one. Is soccer gaining popularity?
The University of Oklahoma soccer coach, Matt Potter, who
will be going into his third year as the head man for the Sooner
soccer team, hopes so.
Potter has seen how this town loves soccer, with the max
capacity crowd every year at the Cross-Town Clash soccer game
at the John Crain Soccer Complex. If you have not been to the
OU soccer complex, you have to go check out a game there. The
complex has a top-notch facility that has a world class-playing
surface Sooner Nation should be proud of.
The Big 12 has some pretty tough competition from the likes of
West Virginia, who spent the majority of the year in the top 10,
and Texas Tech who was in the top 15 most of the year. Texas
and Oklahoma State, the usual rivals for the Sooners, are pretty
good on the pitch as well.
Potter is looking to build a winning program and get the Sooners
back to the NCAA tournament, a place they have not been since
the 2010 season. Last season the Sooners struggled to a 4-13-1
record and failed to make it to the Big 12 tournament. While
the record was not what Potter and the Sooners wanted, there
are things to build on. In the 18 games the Sooners played last
year, they were involved in 10 games decided by one goal. The
Sooners also had three games that went into double overtime
with a 0-2-1 record in those games, while also going 0-6 against
the top 25 in the country.

be followed by a home contest against Central Arkansas

on September 7th before the Sooners hit the road for
four straight games. The Sooners will visit North Texas,
Tulsa, UC-Irvine and San Diego before returning home on
September 26th to take on in-state foe Oral Roberts.
Big 12 play opens up with Texas Tech. The Lady Red
Raiders became the seventh team to go undefeated in the
Big 12 conference season since inception in 1996. Then
its off to Ames, Iowa to take on Iowa State on October 5th.
OU then has back-to-back home games against Baylor and
TCU on October 9th and 12th.
Next up for the Sooners is Bedlam in Stillwater on October
17th, before the Red River Soccer Match comes to Norman
on October 24th. The Sooners will finish the Big 12 season
with a road trip to the defending Big 12 regular season and
tournament champion West Virginia, before wrapping the
season up with Kansas at home on Halloween night.
A couple names to watch this year are sophomore Caren
Nelson from Colorado Springs, an exciting forward who
missed seven games due to injury but has great potential
to be dynamic up front for the attack. Jemma Cota, the
sophomore mid-fielder who was an all Big 12 freshman
team selection should filter the action to Nelson. In goal
Kassidie Stade returns after posting three shutouts, but
may be challenged by local star Kali Newman from Norman
North.
Whether you call it ftbol or soccer, its going to be a great
Sooner season.
The schedule this year wasnt any easier for Potter and the
Sooners as they started the year with a bang and welcomed their
Bedlam rivals, the Oklahoma State Cowgirls, to the OU Soccer
Complex to start the season on August 22 followed by three more
tough home games with Utah on the 24th, national power Florida
and Florida State the 29th and 31st.

is the first road test for the Sooners September 5. That will
The Junior League of Norman

The Junior League of Norman is back from summer vacation and is more ready than ever to tackle issues in
Normans community. The Junior League of Norman is a service and social organization for Normans women
and is a member organization within AJLI, the Association of Junior Leagues International. This spring,
the League came up with a new Community Based Impact Statement to realign their focus on what really
mattersNormans youth. According to the new statement, The Junior League of Norman works to increase
opportunities and decrease obstacles facing vulnerable and at-risk youth in Normans community. And from the
variety of projects they take on, you can see just how the League is accomplishing this mission.
Baby Steps: Oklahoma consistently has one of the highest teen birth rates in the country. This statistic sets many
young Oklahomans at a disadvantage from the get-go, either from their own birth in a teen parent household or as a teen
parent themselves. The League, in partnership with several other organizations including Norman Public Schools, founded
Baby Steps in 1993 as a resource for teen moms (and some dads). According to the website, The goal of Baby Steps is to
help teen parents complete their high school education so that they can reach their goals and become productive citizens
and effective, nurturing parents. Baby Steps has a facility managed by the Junior League that allows teen mothers to place
their children in safe, free childcare while they finish up their
high school education. Additionally, the Baby Steps program
provides resources such as pregnancy and parenting education
and necessities like diapers, formula and clothing to its parents.
Since the beginning of the program, more than 130 pregnant
and parenting teens have graduated high school as a result of
their membership in the program.
Food for Kids: Another scary statistic about
Oklahomasomewhere in between 20-25% of all children in

Oklahoma worry about where their next meal will come from.
This statistic holds true right here in our own community,
where many students leave their schools on Friday afternoon
and may not get another real meal until Monday rolls around.
That means for three days many of Normans kids battle
symptoms of malnutrition and hunger when they dont have
access to their schools cafeterias. The League partners with McFarlin Memorial United Methodist Church and Oklahoma
Regional Food Bank in order to provide inconspicuous backpacks full of food to provide to hungry middle schoolers to
take home to feed themselves and their siblings over the weekend. Each weekend the League feeds over 100 children in
Normans community. Additionally, the League helps to operate a food pantry at both of our Norman high schools to offer
food to hungry older students.
Girl Power: Girl Power is a relatively new program put on specifically by the new member class of the League.
Girl Power is a one day camp for fourth and fifth grade girls in the community in order to foster self-esteem and healthy
behaviors in at-risk girls. This day is filled with fun activities, speakers ranging from police officers, nutritionists and child
psychologists and an opportunity to connect one-on-one with peers facing similar struggles. The children who participate
in this program are chosen by their schools counselors on a basis of particular vulnerability or risk to bullying, low selfesteem, domestic violence, depression and eating disorders. The workshops are geared around common issues facing
fourth and fifth graders and help give them the tools for successfully combating these issues.
Done in a Day: As if Baby Steps, Food for Kids and Girl Power arent enough, the League also has something
called Done in a Day. The DIAD committee chooses a different community organization to partner with several times
per season to branch out for a day of service. Some of the projects that have been done in a day recently are a Valentines
Day celebration for the local veterans center, decorating for the holidays for the Mary Abbott childrens house and serving
meals to Norman Public Schools families at a family literacy night. This is a great way for the League to help out other
organizations in the Norman area and to partner with organizations that could use an extra few hands!
How to Give: The Junior League of Norman has two big fundraisers per year: the Monster Dash 5K and the annual
Charity Ball. Monster Dash is an event put on around Halloween as a healthy alternative to conventional Halloween
celebrations for local kids and involves a costume contest and a one-mile fun walk/run. Adults are also welcome to dress
up and participate through the one-mile run or 5K. The proceeds from the registration fees go directly into helping the
Leagues many projects. Additionally, the annual Charity Ball is an incredible night of dancing and community, along
with the always awesome Tasters Affair. Local restaurants and bakeries around Norman use this event to show off their
best creations and attendees can pig out while participating in a silent auction for some of Normans finest gifts from local
businesses. Finally, the evening culminates in a live auction and a DJ. The proceeds from this also help run the Leagues
many branches.
How to Join: This is probably the most important
information out there. The League is constantly looking

for women who are at least 21 years of age who have a
desire to serve the community while making life-long
friends. September is the time when new members are
joining the League, having socials and getting trained. For
more information about membership, please visit http://
www.juniorleagueofnorman.org/how-to-join
Help the Junior League of Norman work towards their
goal of increasing opportunities and decreasing obstacles
facing vulnerable and at-risk youth in our community this year by supporting the League through your membership,
partnership and giving!

The unmistakable toll of the clock tower, the roar

of over 80,000 fans, the delicious scent of game
dogs in the air the start of Sooner football
never fails to bring a spark of magic back to OUs
gorgeous campus. But there is always one very
important detail to take care of before the game
starts: what to wear.
Another Sooner favorite for football games has always been the OU T-shirt
dress, but who wants to go through the hassle of buying a huge shirt and
having it custom made? That is way too much work. Antique Garden has
Oklahoma-inspired, high-low dresses ($44) made out of comfy jersey fabric
that are a refreshing take on this timeless trend. The matching gray tribal
pattern tank and red short sleeve hoodie (both $34) are also game day
must-haves.
Luckily, Boyd Street has already scoped out the

latest styles that are sure to leave you looking
your game-day best! Whether you want a comfy
and casual look or something a little sassier, our
friends on Campus Corner have just what you
need. Here is a sneak peek at the items we love
for the 2014-2015 football season:
Classic Mens Clothing
Trendy Womens Clothing

When it comes to finding cute, quality womens
clothing for game day, two names always pop in
my mind first: Blush and Antique Garden. These
Norman staples have been going strong for years
and never disappoint when you need an awesome
outfit in a hurry.
If there is one ever-lasting trend in mens clothing, it is that good ol boy
all-American style better known on campus as dressing like a frat star. It

is a classic look for a reason, and makes any guy look instantly ten times
more attractive (but thats just me). Threads Menswear has so many sharplooking options for the guys that it almost makes me jealous. Clothing items
with the state of Oklahoma on them is definitely a thing this year, like a red
State Tradition polo ($68), visor ($30) and crimson and cream belt ($55).
They also carry items from Rhode Island designer, Kiel James Patrick (like
the rope anchor bracelet), who makes some of the most effortlessly cool
oxfords, bowties, and accessories youll ever see. All of KJPs items are
handcrafted in New England where the company is overseen by Kiel and
his co-founder/fashion blogger fiance, Sarah Vickers. This classic designer
is sure to become popular quickly in Oklahoma as well. Threads Menswear
has everything OU fans need to look like the perfect southern gentleman.
The sheer paneled red dress ($49.95 Blush)

makes a beautiful addition to any Sooner gals
clothing collection. It is breezy enough for the
scorching Oklahoma heat, yet still dressy enough
that you could easily re-wear it to a friends
wedding. Pair it with a sparkly state of Oklahoma
necklace ($14.95), colorful beaded headband
($12.95) and your favorite cowboy boots, and jaws
are bound to drop!
Casual Men and Womens Clothing
Not wanting to be quite as dressy? Try pairing a

darling polka dot Boomer Sooner tank ($34.95)
with a red or white skater skirt instead. And you
cant beat a lace kimono ($34.95) with a white
So heres to playing like champs and dressing like champs, because when it
comes to Oklahoma, we dont accept anything less than the best!
tank and denim capris either.

Sometimes there is just nothing better than slipping into your favorite jeans
or shorts and a comfy OU football T-shirt. The Apothem on Campus Corner
has great casual options for both men and women alike! From breezy
OU golf shirts and bold snap-backs, to fitted jersey-knits, OU scarves and
jewelry, there is something for everyone inside this campus fixture. They
always have a ton of traditional and fun Sooner items coming in every
season.
Sports Talk Network

The Sports Talk Network is always finding new and innovative ways to better suit their listeners. In fact, their online
streaming application makes it possible for listeners to catch all of the action through their smart phone, tablet or computer
anywhere in the world on Sportstalk1400.com.
But for several years, Sports Talk Network listeners have been clamoring for an FM signal. Well, that wish is now a reality.
Last spring, the new 98.5 FM signal was launched, creating a much more crisp and clear alternative for listeners in the
Norman area. Coupled with the online streaming application, the 1400 AM frequency and the many affiliates around the
state, the new FM signal has only added to the several amenities that the Sports Talk Network provides.
Any avenue we can use to reach more of an audience is going to beneficial, said KREF program director TJ Perry.
Some people stay strictly on the FM side and would have never discovered us, but obviously now they will. Any way we
can continue to reach people and give options is great for our growth.
The growth that Perry referred to has been a constant word used around the Sports Talk Network for the last three years.
As they continue to make their presence felt in the Oklahoma City market, the demand for more outlets among listeners
has only continued to grow.
The additions of the 98.5 FM signal now gives listeners the option to tune in on both sides of the dial.
There are certain listeners who are only interested in the FM side of the dial, said Sports Talk Network owner Randy
Laffoon.
I think it gives us the opportunity to reach out to a more broad audience and further expand our footprint in the market.
One of Americas Best

Hospitals for Orthopedics
Norman Regional was given a Womens Choice
Award and named one of 2014 Americas Best
Hospitals for Orthopedics. The Americas Best
Hospitals for Orthopedics scoring process is unique in
that it is the ONLY national list that focuses on female
patient satisfaction. The best hospitals for orthopedics
is determined first by identifying hospitals that
provided comprehensive orthopedic services and

One University
by David Goodspeed
Well here we are knee deep into classes at OU and all around the state. Its a great time of
year! Our children are hopefully dreaming about their futures and what they want to do
to make their impact on the world.
One innovative technology that is taking the world by storm and making dreams come to
life is 3D Printing.
If youre not excited by 3D printing its because youre not thinking big enough, say some
technology visionaries who predict life on Earth will soon radically change because of it.
According to these futurists, 3D printing will make life as we know it barely recognizable
in 50 to 75 years.
In fact, 3D printing technology is advancing at a staggering rate. American designers are
now working on 3D printed cars while 3D printers in China and Holland are building
entire houses. The first 3D printed hamburgers and pizza were recently created in
England, showing the possibility of a man-made food supply. They are thinking bigger and bigger every day!
Boeing, GE and other industry leaders are manufacturing state-of-the-art aerospace equipment with the new technology. While NASA,
using Zero-G technology, is demonstrating how 3D printers will one day be used in space.
Perhaps most dramatic are the advances being made in the medical field. Research and development of 3D printing-based medical
techniques have already saved countless lives and opened the doors to previously unimaginable possibilities in medicine.
Does this mean that you can sit in your kitchen and create a new heart valve or space age piece that you can sell to NASA?
It might just be possible. With 3D printing we are all becoming creators of the world we live in and the only limits you have are what you
place on yourself.
At the One U Store in the Union we have eight 3D printers available for anyone to print their personal creation or something they found on

SOONER SPIRIT
Get Your Tailgate On!
Tailgating has long been a tradition when it

comes to sports. But did you know that the first
tailgate was not actually at a sporting event, it
was during the Civil War of all things! Civilians
from the Union side arrived at the Battle of Bull
Run in 1861 with food to support their side.
The first noted tailgating sporting event was
in 1869 at an inaugural intercollegiate football
game between Princeton and Rutgers.
Driving onto the University of Oklahomas
campus the Friday before home football games,
you will find fans staking their spots for the big
day. Grills, tents and tvs line the grounds of the
Universityof Oklahoma.
Sooner spirit is in the air along with the aroma
of delicious tailgating foods. Whether you
tailgate in your kitchen or on the bed of your
truck, we are here to make your football season
a cinch as well as yummy!
Here are some of our favorite tailgating tips.
If you want to eliminate the hassle of plates,
consider serving finger foods; For example,
serving chicken legs instead of a chicken
breasts, brushed with Robert Rothschild Anna
Maes Smoky Sweet Sauce (see recipe above). If
serving dips or other food items that require
staying chilled, give our chilled on ice dip
server, along with all our other chill on ice
serving pieces a try. Prefer your drink with
a salted rim and a twist of lime, consider the
Rita Rims, a pre-salted, pre-limed plastic cup
(available plain or with Go Big Red to show
your spirit).
Also available is the strawberry and sugar rim
for your sweeter drinks (available in plain only).
If you need a drink that will be perfect for
everyone at your tailgate, try the Touchdown
Punch (see recipe above). Talk about easy!
These cups take the hassle out of rimming cups
for your favorite beverages.

Second
Wind
by Alexandra Bare
Nestled between Buchannan Bikes and the First Presbyterian

Church on Campus Corner is a little blue square caf called
Second Wind Coffee. Closed the entire summer, regulars
are excitedly making their way back as it opens this fall.
It is a booming coffee shop, a meeting place for many, a
weekly ministry and a venue for local artists complete with
lumpy couches and solid wooden tables reminiscent of your
grandmothers kitchen.
The most remarkable thing about Secondwind is that it runs
off of just donations. Numbers have been crunched, and on
average a drink costs a little over a dollar and a half to make;
however, the change from your pocket, or a smile on your face,
is just as welcome. Serving locally roasted Mariposa coffee
the volunteer baristas are trained to make everything from
traditional macchiatos to the Newcomer and other specialty
drinks.
The volunteers are university students working 2-10 hours
a week and these baristas do not simply fill the drip coffee.
The lead baristas are trained by Mariposas Staff and in turn,
they train the volunteers, a process which takes up and over a
semester to master. The goal is to have a standard of excellence
met with even drink that is made. That way visitors can come
in for a Dantes Inferno, or a latte, and be equally satisfied.
Donations for drinks go into daily costs as well as volunteerism.
Past projects include construction in New Orleans, the Big
Event at the OKC Zoo, urban work in Denver, health and dental
clinics in the Dominican Republic as well as volunteering around
Norman as it is needed.
This year there is a new director. Josh Hammell, the previous
director, has gone up to Boston bringing in Jeff Rothman to
continue where he left off. Jeff is Jewish by birth, attended
Catholic school through childhood, lived in a Zen monastery for
nine months, and continues to practice Buddhist meditation
while attending Presbyterian Church. Needless to say, there are
going to be many interfaith dialogs going on at Second Wind
this fall. Interfaith understanding is a concept near to Second
Wind and First Presbyterians core values. While the caf is
affiliated with the church, offering bible studies on Tuesday
nights and lunches on Sunday mornings, the message is very
clear: everyone is welcome. The core student group comes from

all backgrounds leading to intricate discussions from a variety of
experiences. Rothman notes that it is a very spiritual community,
but one based on acceptance and a search for understanding.
Second Wind is a safe place for everyone.
In addition Jeff hopes to see a continued growth in Secondwind
as a music venue. Zac Winters played on August 22nd and Jahruba
and the Broke Brothers, a reggae band will play on September the
19th. Coming up will be names such as Sarah Reid, Plain Speak,
John Calvin, and Buffalo Rider, but Second Wind welcomes all
local artists, or artists passing through, to contact them and come
play. Rothman explained that Secondwind is a bit of a hybrid
between the typical coffee house show and a larger music
venue. The caf moves tables and couches aside to make room
for up to seventy people on a rockin night without losing the
intimate atmosphere and the constant smell of espresso beans.
Weekly, there are plans for a variety of events other than
concerts such as movie screenings, poetry slams and open
mike nights. One to look out for will be the Artist in Residence,
Jahruba, putting on a night for The Art of African Storytelling.
Jeff said that when he saw Jahruba showcase this previously
it made him feel like he was five years old again. So if you
are looking for some wonder mid-month, watch for the date
announcement on their Twitter or Facebook page.
As visitors bubble over and the weather cools down Secondwind
is planning on extending onto the patio. This had been done in
the past with regulars pulling out tables and chairs, but watch out
for umbrellas and twinkle lights in the future!
Personally, as a barista, and longtime Normanite, it is good to see
that many new things are happening at Secondwind, but at least
one thing is staying the same: the people who visit and volunteer
are here for the love of coffee and community, creating a vibe
which shapes peoples lives, even if they visit just once.

The Earth
by Alexandra Bare
Since it opened in 1969, The Earth Natural Foods store has been a hub for natural and organic foods in Norman. With their
caf now a part of their store, The Earth is a powerhouse for anyone shopping for natural groceries or looking for a healthy
and satisfying meal. They offer a variety of foods and goods including organic produce, beans, herbs and spices, organic
dairy, meats and organic fair trade coffee.
The turquoise and green building is hard to miss on the east side of Flood Ave, just north of the Flood and Symmes intersection. With a convenient location just a walk or quick ride from OUs campus, The Earth is ideal for students looking to
escape the over-processed and unhealthy food surrounding them.
I first went to The Earth when it was still just a store. I was fascinated by all of the produce, bulk products and healthy alternatives to mass-produced products. I also visited The Earth Caf and Deli when it was in its previous location on Campus
Corner. The menu provides enough options and variety to keep your taste buds happy. Dont let the organic and health
aspects of the caf fool you. The Earth means business when it comes to flavor and their 93% rating on Urbanspoon proves
it. From quiche and biscuits and gravy at breakfast to a variety of sandwiches, soups and salads for lunch and dinner,
theres something for everyone.
The Moon Maiden grilled cheese is my go-to meal at The Earth. Farmers cheese is melted and stacked with fresh avocado, tomato and sprouts on honey whole wheat bread. The cheese is salty and gooey and the vegetables are so bright
and colorful you know they didnt come from a jar. My favorite thing about The Earth is that you can see them putting the
vegetables on your sandwiches. You see them cutting up the fresh veggies and find happiness in knowing that what youre
about to eat is good for you. The Earth maintains a garden behind the location that produces fresh vegetables and herbs.
We try to use everything from the garden to sell in the store and to use in making our food, said Rian Cline, manager at
The Earth.
If youre looking for a caffeine fix, theyve got you covered. They offer a variety of teas as well as your favorite coffee house
staples: espresso, chai, drip coffee, lattes and cappuccinos. If youre like me, the dessert menu is heaven. The Earth offers
fresh baked goods daily. Cookies, scones and cake and pie by the slice are all available. If you happen to be there when
lavender cake is available, dont miss the opportunity to try a piece of your new favorite cake.
The Earth is more than just a health food store and restaurant. Its a tight knit group, including the customers. The employees knew several customers that came into the store by name and could already guess their order and they treat new
customers like theyve known them forever. The store has a laidback atmosphere that makes everyone who walks through
the door feel comfortable and at home.
The new location at The Earth store gives less of a restaurant feel and is more of a caf. Ive worked at the Earth for quite
a while and I think this location compared to the other is more laid back, said Cline. Its less stressful so its easier to have
a conversation with the customers instead of having to run around the restaurant.
The Earth is the best place for a good meal and conversation. Give them a call at (405) 364-3551 to see what the daily dessert and quiches are or if you have any questions, theyre always happy to answer.
CELEBRATING
NORMAN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
In an effort to recognize the importance of adult role

modeling for students during formative years and to
provide a healthy environment for students, staff, and
citizens, these schools have adopted the new policy to
promote a 100% tobacco-free environment. The new
policy prohibits the use of all tobacco products on all
school-owned property 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Tobacco-Free Cleveland County can help every school
in Cleveland County adopt a 24/7 tobacco-free policy.

Back to School and Keeping Your Kids Tobacco-Free
In Oklahoma, 87,000 of our kids that are now alive and under 18
years old will die prematurely from smoking. The best way for you
to protect your kids from tobacco related health problems is to
prevent them from starting.
The design and contents of tobacco products make them extremely
addictive. Todays tobacco products deliver more nicotine and
deliver it quicker than ever before. Nicotine is the highly addictive
drug in tobacco that keeps people using it, even when they want
to quit. Youth are especially sensitive to nicotine and can feel
dependent earlier than adults.
Many tobacco products are flavored to attract new users. Tobacco
companies peddle sweet-flavored cigars and smokeless tobacco
products that are flavored and colorfully packaged just like candy.
All of these products can lead to nicotine addiction and serious
health problems.
To help keep your kids tobacco-free, take these important steps:
Tell your children how dangerous smoking is, how addictive
tobacco products are, and that you expect them to be tobacco-free.
Make your home and your car tobacco-free for everyone.
Dont let your children see movies, TV programming, or video
games that show tobacco use.
Set a good example by not using tobacco yourself.
Join the Tobacco-Free Cleveland County Coalition; a coalition of
individuals and organizations with the vision of a community where
people live, work, play, and learn in a tobacco-free environment. For

OUs First Football Game

by Jeff Provine
Football season is in full swing once again in Norman, as it has been for 119 years. As shown in Harold Keiths Oklahoma
Kickoff, things were very different in September of 1895. The only trees in town were once that had been recently
planted, and soft water cost five cents a bucket from a private cistern company. Main Street was a collection of one-story
rickety wooden structures that led out to High Gate, the Methodist college that would later become Griffin Memorial
hospital. Just about everything in town was on the east side of the railroad tracks, except for the fledgling territorial
university, which was connected to town by a half-mile long boardwalk. Students walked from their boarding houses in
town to campus and back every school day.
A few old boys were hanging around Bud Risingers barber shop on the north side of Main when twenty-year-old Jack
Harts suggested, Lets get up a football team. Harts was perhaps the first Big Man on Campus at the university. He had
come to Norman to take classes and serve as an instructor in elocution. He was handsome, well spoken, and energetic,
wore his hair fashionably long, and, famously on campus, had played on the football team at Winfield College. His
suggestion was immediately met with agreement and aplomb.
People had already played intramural football on campus. Professor DeBarr had taken up a collection to buy a football,
and student teams led by Lem Dorrance of Lexington and Frank Taylor of Moore played pickup games every so often
in 1893. Harts wanted more. He was elected team captain and coach, and he had his players drop everything and go
fight in practice every afternoon. A game was scheduled for November 7th against the Oklahoma City Town team, who
would be the first visitors to play in Norman.
They constructed a field where the Fred Jones, Jr., Museum of Art and the Fine Arts Center stand today. Students filled
in buffalo wallows with dirt hauled by borrowed teams of horses. For seating, they strung a wire fence around the field
that spectators could lean on. The Oklahoma City Town team arrived with 30 or 40 football cranks as the Transcript
called them, and the game began.
Very few of todays rules and equipment for safety existed at the time. Players had at most some padding stuffed into
their cut-off overalls. Without formal training, it was more of a brawl than an organized game. Jack Harts, OUs star
player, hurt his knee in practice and was relegated to shouting from the sidelines. Bert Dunn, a university baseball
player, used the ball like a thrown weapon to smack the OKC player who tackled him, inadvertently causing a turnover.
The carnage became so bad that Harts began pulling in Normanite replacements including barber Bud Risinger and
accepting loans of players from Oklahoma City Town.
The game ended as a loss at 34 to 0. Despite being beaten both metaphorically and literally, the university players retired
to Risingers barber shop to wash up, bandage their wounds, and talk about the game. Jap Clapham recalled, I went out
home to the farm and climbed in bed. I was too sore to do the chores. But I sure slept good I learned more in that first
football game than in any other I ever played, and I played five years at the university.
Harts left school to prospect for gold in the Arctic the following year, but he would have found it here if he had stayed in
Norman. The young team including Clapham would go undefeated in the next three seasons, with five of their six games
being shut-outs. One of those was against Oklahoma City Town in 1897, evening their record.
A century later, every game day sees crowds of up to 82,000 people flow into the Memorial stadium with thousands
more swarming the campus. It stands as a testament that from humble beginnings come great things.

The Ride Grand Prix

Adults get to act like children at The Ride Grand Prix benefitting the United Way of Norman. The Ride Grand Prix began last year as a way to keep the Big Wheel fun
rolling for adults and raise even more funds for United Way. The event is open to individuals and business; however, participants must be 18 years or older. This adult
big-wheel race is a great event sponsored by First American Bank in Norman with proceeds going to the United Way. The Ride Grand Prix is all about bringing the
community together for a little fun, food, and fundraising for The United Way, said Neil Schemmer, President and CEO of First American Bank.
This event is a follow up to The Ride, the childs big wheel race held earlier this year. As in the kids race, adults will have the chance to join in a little friendly
competition as they race on a predesigned course to the finish line. To join the race, there are a few rules to follow.
1. Trikes
In order to qualify to compete, participants must have The Ride Grand Prix regulation trikes. Trikes must have a rubber front wheel and plastic back wheels. If you do
not have one, you may purchase one or rent one from the event for $50.
For information about adult trikes, please visit the links below.

2. Helmets are Required
Its important to stay safe and set a good example to our little big wheelers. Every participant is required to bring and wear his or her own helmet during the race.
3. Fun Is The Name
This event is all about fun! Participants are encouraged to wear costumes and show off their inner child. An award will be given for the best costume. For those who
arent participating in the race, there will be sponsored games and fun for all. There will also be plenty of food to enjoy before, during, and after the event. Spectators
and participants can get a wristband for food and beverages for making a $10 donation to the United Way. New to the event will be two food trucks from Hals Pizza
Kitchen and Smokin Okies, who have graciously agreed to donate 10% of proceeds to benefit the United Way.
Remember to bring your own lawn chair to sit and cheer on your Grand Prix racers. Even if youre not racing, costumes are encouraged by all and signs are a great
expression of your race support.
In last years race there were 20 participants total with six of them making it to the final heat. The top three finalists were Robert Green, representing St. Johns
Episcopal Church, in first place; Drew Eddington, of 405 Bicycles, in second place; and Chris Schemmer, of Schemmer Trike Sports, coming in at third. This years race
is certain to provide an afternoon of smiles for the whole family while helping support the United Way of Norman.
Anything we can do to support the United Way of Norman, well get behind, says Leslie Christopher, Owner of Bold Multimedia. This is a great way to help raise
money for the United Way and an opportunity to let the adults have a good time while raising community support.
About the United Way

Still Stamping in Norman

When the Lyle family opened Norman Stamp & Seal on
the corner of Main and University in 1984 it was unlikely
they realized what an impression their shop would have
on the community. Specializing, as the name implies, on
stamps and seals, the business expanded to offer engraved
office products like name plates and name tags as well as
markers that many tradesmen place on the equipment
they install. With a customer base covering the city and
including the University of Oklahoma, it would seem that
a little piece of Norman Stamp & Seal is present in nearly
every office in Norman.
Marianne Raleigh and her brother Doug Lyle continued
to operate the business after their father, the business
founder, passed away. The pair maintained the product
quality and customer service that their client base had
come to expect. After 30 years in the business, however,
dreams of retirement enticed the brother-sister duo to
consider selling the family biz.
Enter Tyler LaReau.
An independent insurance agent based in Norman,
LaReaus office has neighbored Norman Stamp & Seal
for 15 years. When he heard a business sale was on the
horizon, he stepped in.
Ive been a customer for years and I wanted to keep the
business locally owned. I appreciate the quality work
theyve done for the past 30 years and I wanted to build
on that rich history and expand the services and products
offered.
With that intent, LaReau purchased the business in
May and has been going full throttle ever since. He
maintained the existing staff and added to the team to
increase capacity. In addition, the business has purchased
equipment that will improve efficiency in their traditional
products as well as open the door to a whole new line of
products. Engraved natural products such as wood cutting
boards, serving trays, phone cases and coasters are already
making a splash as are photos engraved on granite and
other natural materials.
The possibilities of what we can do are virtually endless,
explains LaReau. The name is Norman Stamp & Seal but
really, we are so much more!
The business has a new logo, new exterior signage, a new
website and is undergoing an interior renovation. More
information can be found at www.NormanStampAndSeal.

Sooners Succes
Hinges on the Arm of Knight
by Tyler McComas
It was nearly impossible this offseason to walk around the town of Norman without hearing the words Sugar Bowl being used in a
sentence. But that was to be expected, especially after the overwhelming excitement the win over Alabama on that fateful, early January
night in New Orleans created. To say the unexpected happened that night might be understatement. Not only did the massive underdogs
win the game, but it came from the arm of an unlikely candidate.
By now, you know the story. Trevor Knight, who entered the season as the starting quarterback, was not only wildly inconsistent throughout
the regular season, but injury problems sidelined him for a majority of the season. But through all the criticism that was being thrown at
Knight, and through all of the uncertainty that surrounded the quarterback position at Oklahoma last season, you cant deny that when
the lights were the brightest on the floor of the Sugar Bowl against an overwhelming favorite, he stepped up and delivered an unforgettable
performance.
That performance came with an enormous amount of expectations for Knight entering the 2014 season. Though hes still only started five
games, itll be his actions that will determine if the Sooners play for a national title this season.
If you look at where he started as a freshman, the confidence he played with, his decision making, his accuracy with the football those are
all components of the quarterback position that he can still develop and has a long way to go, said co-offensive coordinator Josh Heupel.
But were excited about the work he put in over the summer and the way he has competed.
As experts from around the country break down and discuss all of the potential contenders for the national title, one question always seems
to be raised when Oklahoma is discussed: Can Trevor Knight be consistent throughout the entire course of the season?
To expect a repeat performance from the Sugar Bowl across the entirety of the season is wishful thinking, to say the least. In actuality,
because of the talent that the Sooners possess on both sides of the ball, the Sooners dont necessarily need him to be the hero he became
during the Sugar Bowl. For Knight, the key word this season is consistency. Thats being consistently accurate, consistently making the right
reads and perhaps most importantly, consistently knowing when to shield his body from opposing defenders and when to stay on the field.
And frankly, thats another big question that surrounds Knight as he enters the season: Can he stay healthy throughout the course of the
season? Some injuries you just cant avoid and are going to happen, said Bob Stoops. But at the quarterback position, regardless of how
much or little we run him, when he has the opportunity and he is out on the perimeter running, we want him to avoid and take as little
contact as possible--to step out of bounds, slide, get down and avoid the big hits. Its something that well talk a lot about with him and even
tried to a year ago. But I think with another year more experience
hell be familiar and used to doing that.
To put simply, if Knight cant stay healthy, the Sooners shot at a
national title this season are all but doomed. Yes, you still want to
utilize both his athleticism and his ability to pick up yards with
his feet, but an injury that sidelines him for a significant amount
of time would almost certainly derail the season. And for the
Sooners, that would be a shame, especially considering that they
seem to have all the tools to not only win the Big 12, but to be in
the four-team college football playoff at seasons end.
I consider myself as a distributor now, said Knight. In high
school, youre a playmaker, but at this level, you have to get the ball
into your playmakers hands. Being a dual-threat guy, I can get out
on the edge and make plays with my feet, but I dont want to be a
playmaker, I want to be a distributor.
Truth be told, we dont know what direction Knights game will take
this season, and we dont know if hell stay injury-free throughout
the course of the season. Its all mere speculation.
However, what we do know is the capability of the Sooner offense
if Knight does live up to all his preseason expectations. Sure, there
will need to be youngsters that step up at both running back and
receiver, but with the talent those units possess, along with a
veteran offensive line, itll make life for Knight that much easier.
The pieces are in place for a run at a national title, but make no
mistake about it, this season for the Sooners will hinge on the arm
of Trevor Knight.
