Oklahomans have many reasons to be proud of the Sooner state. Although its fun to jest about being an Okie, at the end of the day we are proud of our state and the people who live in it. While this list only scratches the surface, here are a few times we were proud of Oklahoma:

1. When the Oklahoma Sooners won 7 NCAA National Football Championships.

2. Anytime our traffic looks like this.

3. When we hear our country music stars on the radio or performing live.

4. Whenever we help each other out...especially after disasters.
