The Sooner Schooner had a scary moment after Oklahoma’s fourth touchdown of the day against West Virginia. As is custom at Oklahoma home games, the Schooner took a quick lap on the field after the score. But as the schooner made its turn back toward the tunnel the radius was a little too tight and the schooner took quite the tumble.

I wonder if they need more weight in that schooner to balance it during turns. I know nothing about wagon/carriage driving.

I mean, they’re all doing okay, so they have that going for them ... but still, I don’t think “Unhitch the wagon and put the ponies in the barn!” Was meant to be taken quite so literally.

The turf was soft in places and where it was turning. It dug in instead of sliding around the corner.

Ha! That's EXACTLY what it reminded me of when I saw it.

Once I had ascertained no one was hurt, I was happy to say, "Pretty cool!"

I liked the crash in the movie The War Waggon (John Wayne).

PETOP needs to put a stop to this. People for the Ethical Treatment of People can not let this continue.

The roar of the crowd may have spooked the horses & they fled to get away from it. Weren’t under control at all.

Glad everyone is OK. The wagon looks like it was designed to separate rather than crash in one piece under full weight.

Best western comedy ever... has everything...a Republican, an oracle, Indians, women, Irish Teamsters, miners, militia, the US Army...
and lots of wagon crashes

The only thing OU did wrong yesterday. And UConn still lost - but they coveted the spread. 24-17, and one of UH td was on a UConn interception.
