Every program has rituals. Oklahoma's are some of the loudest in college football. Walking into the stadium without knowing them is like showing up to a party without knowing the host. A cheap oklahoma jersey gets you in the door; these traditions make you one of the crowd.

The cannon. A cannon fires before kickoff, after every score, and at the end of the game. Cover your ears the first time. A John Mateer Jersey fan will tell you it never gets old.

Boomer Sooner. The fight song plays constantly. Learn the words. You will hear it dozens of times.

The mascot. The Sooner Schooner — a covered wagon pulled by horses — circles the field after scores. It is the most iconic tradition in college football.

The third-down chant. When the defense faces a third down, the crowd rises and yells. Stand up every time.

Roll right. Oklahoma's offense has used the same sideline route for decades. Knowing the calls makes the game more fun.

The wave. Stadium waves start in one end and roll around. Participate; it is good energy.

Pregame march. The marching band marches through campus before kickoff. Follow them.

Rep the defense. A Danny Okoye Jersey or a Deion Burks Jersey signals you know which traditions matter most.

Role players. A Bowe Bentley Jersey or a David Stone Jersey shows you watch more than the highlights.

A second Danny Okoye Jersey in the car means you are ready for surprise cold snaps.

Traditions are what make college football feel sacred. Wear a cheap oklahoma jersey, learn the chants, and you are officially a Sooner.

When the cannon fires and the crowd rises, you will be glad you dressed the part.
