Oklahoma University (OU) sophomore Lauren Clarke (pictured, right) made her TV debut on ESPN College GameDay. The 2023 Bellaire High School graduate and her “Try Again Next Year” sign were featured during the sports-network broadcast of OU’s first Southeastern Conference (SEC) game against the University of Tennessee. Along with her California-native roommate Erica Smith (pictured, left), Lauren, an elementary-education major and starting attack player on the OU women’s lacrosse team, camped out beginning at midnight before game day to secure a prime spot for the show’s broadcast from Norman, OK.
