Who doesn't love the Sooners?
When you are about to be executed for committing a heinous crime, the State generally grants you a few last requests most particularly with food and last words. Some people choose ribs smothered with onions, others go for a six pack of Dr. Pepper, but for this man, Jeffrey Landrigan, who was executed last night in Arizona for the brutal murder of Chester Dean Dyer, he wanted to dine on some fried okra, french fries, steak, and some strawberry ice-cream. After a complete meal, he had some choice partying words. He first thanked his family and friends, but after his brief soliloquy, his last words were “Boomer Sooner.”
Landrigan was about to enter the Gates of Hell and all he can come up with is the cheer often used by the University of Oklahoma football fans. All that can be said about that is, the pageantry of college football is second to none, and a true fan will take the love of his team all the way to the grave.
