OK BCS Champs 2003???? I thought it was USC or was it....



from...Maxim....

gotta love the internet....


While we were shooting Miss Maxim last July, I couldn't help but notice a familiar headwear logo popular among the hard-working indigenous peoples of the Dominican Republic. When traveling abroad, it's always comforting to see a recognizable hallmark from the homeland, but these things were everywhere. Dominicans in America don't even like college football—what was the chance that University of Oklahoma football had become this beloved among la gente de la Republica Dominicana?
Closer inspection revealed that these were "Oklahoma 2003 National Champions" hats that go on further to boast of the school's eight-time status as title holders. Only problem here, as most all of you know, is that Oklahoma got pounded 56–21 in its final two games of 2003, losing the BCS National Championship Game to LSU. Evidently, someone slipped a crate or two of these presumptuous caps in one of our air-drop aid shipments to the Caribbean (I'm pretty sure U.S. policy dictates we not touch anything there) and the locals have taken to them like Dominicans to free hats!
