(6/23) Oklahoma Sooner Football Notes
Switzer Center Closed June 29: The Legends Lobby area of the Switzer Center is open to the public every Thursday and Friday normally, but it will be closed on Thursday, June 29, due to filming for an athletics department video project. The area, which features memorabilia pertaining to OU's football history, will re-open June 30 at 9 a.m. The facility also will be open Thursday and Friday, June 22-23. (SoonerSports)
Hotel highlights Oklahoma memorable: Sonny Brown slowly walks down the crimson and cream hallways, passing familiar names and faces with each continuing step. Brian Bosworth. Billy Sims. Barry Switzer. In his mind, the former Oklahoma safety is taking a stroll down memory lane. In reality, Brown is passing through the interior of Sooner Legends Inn and Suites, a newly-renovated hotel in Norman that is dedicated to former OU athletic greats -- and everything else Sooner. "You think back to your days (at OU), and you start seeing some of your memorabilia," said Brown, who was the co-Most Valuable Player of the 1986 Orange Bowl. "It's fun. You walk down the hall and see all of the pictures of guys from my era. It reminds you of things you may not have thought of in a while." Located on Lindsey Street just east of I-35, the hotel is owned by siblings Doug, Valerie and Sharlyn Kennon and has over 2000 OU pictures and items on display. With 120 regular rooms and 16 suites -- all individually themed after a former Sooner standout -- the hotel provides a unique opportunity to spend the night with Lee Roy Selmon or Jason White. Or at least surrounded by their pictures. (More at NewsOK.com)
