Toby Keith is an Oklahoma Sooners football fan. A lifetime that went far beyond his music, further than college football. The unique relationship between country star Toby Keith and the Oklahoma Sooners football team explained.

Toby Keith: Devoted Sooner fan

Toby Keith had significant tie-ins with the University of Oklahoma. Keith, who went to Moore High School and later developed his singing-songwriting style in Oklahoma too died of the disease. His die-hard love for the Sooners was displayed by his attendance to Sooner football, basketball and softball games. More recently, he has shown the same passion with regular attendance to Oklahoma Sooner games and practices.

"How Do You Like Me Now?! " - A Sports Anthem

How do you like me now? It was a phrase that became synonymous with the 2000 OU football team making its way to the national championship and is said today by every true-born Sooner. The subsequent 13-0 national championship team adopted that anthem, born of the experiences facing Keith, who found a home among Sooners' faith. When paired with the team's success, Keith was certified at that point as one of Oklahoma Sooners' football likeness people.

An Unforgettable Legacy

Toby Keith's legacy isn't just surrounded by the talent he contributed to the world; it also involves his loyalty and determination, which made the Sooners fans love him. His passion and bright personality have also made him special to the OU community.

A Loss Felt by Many

Oklahoma Sooners and fans were left reeling with the news of Toby Keith's death. The countless tributes and messages of condolence from the OU community, as well as many others outside Norman city limits, illustrate how broad his footprint was in college football.

Remembering Toby Keith

Toby Keith has made an official pledge to his alma mater and a lifelong commitment to the Oklahoma Sooners, all of which will go down in college football lore. His smile, his energy, and, above all else, his love for the game have embedded themselves into Sooners everywhere. A legend behind the crimson, as his legacy of being one of Oklahoma's most generous will never be forgotten in Norman.

Only someone who had a bone-deep devotion to their home state and the game of football could love his Oklahoma Sooners as much as Toby Keith did. While his generous contributions will be deeply missed across the entire OU community, he leaves a lasting legacy that still impacts to this day, especially in college football.
