Driving Around The University of Oklahoma Campus in 4k Video

Filmed on Sunday, December 3 2023, I drive around the OU Campus in Norman, OK to see what's going on.

Oklahoma's admission into the union in 1907 led to the renaming of the Norman Territorial University as the University of Oklahoma. Norman residents donated 407 acres of land for the university. The university's first president ordered the planting of trees before the construction of the first campus building because he "could not visualize a treeless university seat."

The university consists of fifteen colleges, including 152 majors. Native American studies includes language classes in Cherokee, Choctaw, Mvskoke, and Kiowa as part of the university's Native American language program.

The Pride of Oklahoma, the university's marching band, celebrated its 100th anniversary in 2004 and consists of 311 members.

The school's sports teams are called the Sooners, a nickname given to early settlers during the land run who sneaked into the offered territory and staked claims illegally before they were officially allowed to.

By far, OU's most famous and storied athletic program is the football program, which has produced seven Heisman Trophy winners.

In 1988, OU became the first school to participate in both the football and basketball national championships in the same year, an achievement unequaled until the 2006 season.

The wrestling program is the fourth most decorated in college wrestling, having won seven national championships.
