The management |
Hunter, President and CEO
Second baseman extraordinaire on
Norman High JV baseball team. Popular Italian-blooded ladies
man. Well, for a kid. Plans to own his own Major League
franchise some day. Until then, he uses his charm and wit to
succeed in 9th grade.
Alex, VP and CFO
Writer and musician turned political
hack who wears worn out hats. Campaign organizer for U.S.
Senate candidate in another state that begins with the
letter "O". (Apparently Oregon is next). As
soon as he was named Soonerguys national correspondent he asked
for a raise.

The staff |
Mike, Dir. of Operations
Former pool boy now slovenly
over-weight lawyer. Thinks fine cuisine is Taco Bell.
Sometimes wears tie to look important. In charge of making sure
Soonerguys.com is updated (so, this is the guy to
blame).
Tim, Chief Animator and writer of funny
things
See pic?, 'nuf said. Despite his disability, Tim is the creator of the
animated Adventures of Soonerguy (we really think his sidekick
Madame "M" is the creator, but this pic was too much to pass up
so we put him on here instead).

| Our history |
|
This website was founded in December
1999 as a preview of Oklahoma's first bowl appearance
under Coach Bob Stoops. The next year it was launched as
a way of reporting our family's Orange Bowl national
championship trip to Miami back to friends and
relatives. Then things got out of hand. Extended
friends and family wanted more. As Coach Switzer says,
we were just feeding a monster.
Soonerguys.com was chosen as the new
URL by 2000 and, well, the rest is history.
In 2006 the site was featured on KWTV News9, and we
received 8,000 unique hits in the first hour. In 2008
Oklahoma City station FOX25 featured our chief animator,
Tim, in a story about The Adventures of Soonerguy.
We have now taken our site to eight bowl games (four
national championship games) -- literally from one coast
to the other -- and various away venues, including at
Tuscaloosa, Boulder, College Station, South Bend,
Chicago and yes, even Tulsa and Waco.
Of course the highlight is the annual Oklahoma-Texas Red
River Rivalry at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Alex has
experienced the Cotton Bowl tunnel first hand as a
trumpet player in the Pride in 2003-2004 (both wins).
Hunter will be making his fifth OU-Texas game in 2009.
We enjoy putting this site together. But we enjoy most
the experiences we write about. As you can tell,
this all about family and friends.
See you on Saturdays in Norman!
