What Would Be Your Final Words?

What would be your final words before you died? Seems like a simple question until you start thinking about it. What would be my final words before I died? Would you ask God for forgiveness? Would you say I love you to your family? Would you say "Boomer Sooner!"?

That's what happened with Jeffrey Landrigan, but with a twist. Landrigan was on death row and was about to be executed. Mr. Landrigan had already been in jail for second-degree murder in Oklahoma, when he escaped. Landrigan turned up in Arizona, strangled a man in a robbery, arrested, and given the death penalty. His execution was held up in courts, until the supreme court by a 5-4 decision, vacated the other decisions. Mr. Landrigan had his final meal and then was asked what his final words were going to be. Here's what he said, via CNN.

"I'd like to say 'thank you' to my family for being here and all of my friends," were Landrigan's final words, according to Marson. He concluded with "Boomer Sooner," a cheer often used by University of Oklahoma fans.

Now that is something to be proud of if your a Oklahoma fan. A death row inmate being executed for murder shouts out "Boomer Sooner!" as his final words. Funny thing is, that's not the first time someone has been executed and his final words had to do with his favorite sports team.
