Surprisingly, no signs were stolen during the filming of ESPN College GameDay on Saturday morning at Norman.
The No. 18 Oklahoma Sooners host the No. 15 Michigan Wolverines at 6:30 p.m. CT on Saturday at Gaylord Family-Oklahoma Memorial Stadium for a rare meeting between two college football blue bloods. The marquee matchup and the only game between two ranked opponents of Week 2 drew ESPN College GameDay to OU's campus on Saturday morning.
Making signs for the background of College GameDay is a college football tradition like no other, and Sooner Nation didn't hold back. OU fans praised quarterback John Mateer and their women's basketball team, but mostly, they took aim at Michigan with sign-stealing jokes, pokes at Desmond Howard and more.
I've scrolled and scrolled social media trying not to miss any of these great signs that OU fans conjured up. Here's the best I've seen and will update as more are posted throughout the morning.

Tip: the best way to not get roasted for cheating is to not cheat.
We had other signs, but Michigan stole them. https://t.co/p5yk5qQ025
