Sooners were settlers who snuck into Oklahoma to claim land before it was officially opened for settlement in the 19th century. Boomers were individuals who advocated for the land to be opened for settlement, particularly the Oklahoma Land Rush of 1889.
Baby Boomers are also known as the Me Generation or the Boomers.
There are slightly more women baby boomers than men baby boomers. This is due to longer life expectancy for women compared to men.
Baby boomers are typically defined as individuals born between 1946 and 1964.
Approximately 60% of baby boomers have retirement savings according to recent surveys. However, many baby boomers have expressed concerns about not having enough savings to retire comfortably.
Baby boomers were indirectly impacted by World War 2 as it led to economic prosperity and increased opportunities for their parents, resulting in better living standards and educational opportunities for the baby boomers. However, some baby boomers may have been directly impacted if their parents were involved in the war, leading to potential family disruption and loss.

One of the Sooners logo is a wagon, symbolizing the Oklahoma Land Run ,and the sooner they claimed the land, the better. (notice the slanted words)
The first farmers to settle Oklahoma were often called "Sooners" because they entered the territory before it was officially open for settlement in the 1889 Land Run. They sneaked in early to stake their claim to the land, hence the nickname "Sooners."
The "boomers" were a group (most notably David L. Payne, for whom Payne County, OK is named) who agitated for more than ten years prior to 1889 to open Oklahoma to settlement. The "sooners" were those who illegally crossed the line prior to the opening gun at high noon on April 22, 1889 in order to stake claims to the best land. Most "sooners" planned to immediately resell their claims at a profit.
OU athletic teams were called either Rough Riders or Boomers for 10 years before the current Sooner nickname emerged in 1908.
Are you referring to Oklahoma being called the "Sooner State?" The name came about when they had the landrun. The people who crossed the line before the gun sounded were called Sooners. The people who waited till the gun sounded were called Boomers. Thus the nickname of the state and the reason the University of Oklahoma teams are called the Boomer Sooners.
