The competition had become a main attraction, drawing in curious onlookers who had forgotten all about the actual football game.
While the Sooners did eventually take to the field, the tailgating event lived on in infamy as a wild pre-game party that defied expectations. Some spectators even joked that the Jenga tournament had been more entertaining than the game itself. With the game still a distant memory for many fans, the legendary tailgate would forever be remembered as the “Boomer Bust” event—a tailgating party that escalated into a wild, unforgettable spectacle, culminating in the most unexpected of ways.
