OU as an International Brand

[Bush]

It appears to me that this is an underestimated aspect on this board. I’ve lived abroad for 40 years. I’ve seen OU hats and shirts all over the world- ( Moscow, Berlin, Amsterdam, etc…). So when we talk about this or that player from X-high school I, (as opposed to locals) often have no idea from where the player is from . But I realize commentators are talking locally.

Akinkunmi would never have committed to OU if OU wasn’t OU. It was so cool watching Akinkunmi’s commitment ceremony when all the European players fully embraced the commitment and understood its significance and yelled Boomer Sooner!

I think the OU community underestimates the global impact of our brand.
