J. White and Billy Sims Statues to join Heisman Park: The two statues will join statues of OU's other Heisman Trophy winners, Steve Owens and Billy Vessels, already in place east of Owen Field. The Sims statue will be unveiled at 3:30 p.m. Sept. 1, before OU plays North Texas at 6 p.m. The White statue will be unveiled at 9 a.m. Sept. 8, before OU faces Miami at 11 a.m. (Dallas Morning News)
OU Athletic pledge to become an annual event: Sunday night, almost 500 Oklahoma student-athletes will recite the Sooner Oath, a new pledge written by members of the student-athlete advisory council. The idea for the Sooner Oath came a year ago from athletic director Joe Castiglione, who asked then-advisory council president Brittney Koncak-Schumann, a former gymnast, and the rest of the council to write a pledge that would remind students of their responsibilities as Sooner athletes. Jaclyn Stelzer, who plays on the women's golf team and serves as the advisory council president, will lead the students through the oath in a ceremony at the Carl B. Anderson All-American Plaza, just east of the Switzer Center. OU president David Boren and former Sooner football coach Barry Switzer are scheduled to speak at the event, which will begin at 6 p.m. (NewsOK.com)
