January 2, 2016 a day that all Sooner fans are counting down to. Why you might ask? The Sugar Bowl of course! The Oklahoma Sooner's are set to face the Auburn Tigers at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Oklahoma for the Sugar Bowl. There are many things that Sooner fans are excited for that lead up to the big game.

1. The trip to New Orleans, LA.

Many Sooner fans will take a road trip or a plane ride to New Orleans, LA in order to enjoy the Sugar Bowl in person. It is always fun to travel with your best friends or go with your family.

2. Seeing a sea of crimson and cream in New Orleans.

You know it is game day when you walk outside and see a sea of crimson and cream, which are the University of Oklahoma's colors. You can bet that you will still see these colors when you walk outside before and after the Sugar Bowl.

3. Yelling "Boomer" and hearing someone yell "Sooner" right after.

We might be in New Orleans instead of Norman, but you can bet that if you yell "Boomer" there is someone around that will follow with "Sooner."

4. The chance to cheer on our favorite team to start off the new year.

The best way to start off 2017 is by cheering on our Sooners to victory with the rest of our OU family.

5. One last time to see our seniors play.

This is the last time we get to see many of our senior football players play for the University of Oklahoma.

6. Spending the day with family.

There is nothing better than spending the day with our thousands strong OU family.

7. Listening to the Pride of Oklahoma.

It is great to hear the Pride of Oklahoma play no matter if we are playing at home in Norman or in another state. It's always fun to count how many times they play "Boomer Sooner" because it never gets old to Sooner fans.

8. The feeling of game day.

There is no feeling that compares to the feeling of game day. Excitement and anticipation fills the air.

9. Being in the stands.

There is something special about being in the stands during a football game surrounded by your fellow Sooner fans. It might not be at home at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium, but it is still exciting to be somewhere watching our boys play football.

10. Exploring New Orleans while wearing our favorite OU gear.

All the Sooner fans coming to New Orleans for the game will get the chance to explore the fun city of New Orleans while supporting our Sooners in our favorite OU gear of course. We have to represent our team before and after the game!

11. Adding one more victory (until next season of course).

Victory will be oh so sweet; especially when it is at the sugar bowl.

Boomer Sooner!
