By the overwhelming response we received in regard to our premier issue in April, we can only believe we’ve struck a chord with you. Hey, we promised Sooner Spectator would be a collector-quality publication with no equal, and that’s what we intend to deliver every week of football season and 17 times a year.
If you liked what you saw in our first issue, there’s plenty more where that came from. More amazing photography. More incredible graphics. More in-depth stories. More Sooner Magic. With the 2005 season just around the corner, we’ve barely even scratched the surface so far.
This special football preview issue will serve as a guide to the Sooners’ march toward another national title game and beyond. It’s packed with great feature stories that give insight into the players and coaches who will lead that heroic charge. There are smart opinion columns, intriguing human interest stories and at least one history lesson that will have you playing OU trivia at your next tailgate party.
The focus of this issue is undoubtedly on football and the fortunes of Bob Stoops’ 2005 Sooners. We want to give fans something they can sink their teeth into, be there every step of the way to capture the glory, pageantry and celebration of another amazing quest. We promise to deliver the most comprehensive coverage to your mailbox every game week all season long.
And when basketball starts to gear up later in the fall, you can expect the same type of quality coverage for the Sooner men and women. Kelvin Sampson and Sherri Coale have their respective programs pointed toward more greatness in 2005-06, and Sooner Spectator will keep fans tuned in to all of the major hoops happenings as it unfolds.
All of this will be provided by a familiar cast of award-winning writers and photographers, each of whom are dedicated to making your Sooner Spectator experience the best it can be. That is our collective goal for every single issue.
We are Oklahoma owned and operated and we take a lot of pride in being the only full-color publication solely dedicated to one of the most storied collegiate athletics programs in the country. If following the Sooners is what you live for, well, you’ve definitely come to the right place.
Sooner Spectator is like a little piece of Sooner heaven. Check us out and see if you don’t agree.
