"Well, I'd like to say thank you to my family for being here and all my friends, and Boomer Sooner," he said, in an apparent reference to the University of Oklahoma fight song.

I still don't really get the point though.

Justice served with a side of fried okra. Sounds like Oklahoma.

Okra? Japanese pronounciation of "Okla"?

I already got the point that it's a song but what is so noteworthy about him singing it? That he was a local patriot or studied at that uni? And if he didn't why did he mention it?
Was it a sarcastic remark from a street dawg to smite the elitist students from okrahomer state university, a proverbial spit in their faces before he left this mortal coil?
Or what? :inquisitive:

I suppose he meant in comparison to the rest of them. :shrug:
