You Go, Lady Boomers!

Back in 1971 it was! The OU Boomers collided with the Nebraska Cornhuskers on the gridiron in what was dubbed the "game of the century."

Last night, there was another "game of the century." This time, however, the battle took place between ladies in a gym. The second-ranked Boomer gymnasts engaged the top-ranked gymnastics team from Alabama. The Boomer ladies, by the slimmest of margins, prevailed.

I love lady gymnasts. They are cute as all get out, for starters. But they also do incredible things. Assuming I could do a back flip, for example, which I can't, I would be proud of myself if I could actually land on the floor. A little cutie can do one while landing on a 4-inch piece of wood. I find that amazing.

Major kudos to the lady Boomers!
