EUGENE, Ore. -- Oakland University athletics recently finished second in the Campus Roar Campaign; a national initiative by Nike to find the best school slogan. Golden Grizzlies students took second place with the phrase, "OH YEAH, OU."

Oakland students accounted for the campaign through mobilization on Facebook and with 293 votes finished just behind the winning slogan from Northern Iowa, which earned 345 votes. Second place wasn't all bad as Nike delivered nearly 100 shirts with the OU slogan on the front and a mascot on the back. These shirts will be given away to Oakland fans at specific events.

Golden Grizzlies fans will once again look to make their presence felt as they support the Oakland team as Oakland plays in the NCAA Tournament for a second consecutive season.
