It's a Sad Day.

I have never been very good at losing. (too competitive)

I didn't take one picture at today's game. (that makes for one sad road trip!)

We're in the hotel (wishing I had some mashed potatoes)

The other fans were pretty awful! (I guess I'd hate us too)

I'd rather be a Sooner than an Aggie. (even on days we lose)

BOOMER SOONER. 

Awesome 3rd Quarter guys!

The Road to Omaha - Day 2

Day 2 was the day we got to watch our beloved Sooners play!! What we didn't for see was a 9 hour rain delay...

Since we had to get to the stadium early we spent a total of 12 hours in or around Rosenblatt Stadium, which led to lots and lots of pictures and lots of fair food...

Rosenblatt Stadium has been the home of the College World Series for 60 years, this was it's last year so lots a people came out for just that reason

Because of the rain Garrett encouraged me to wear my tennis shoes. I had on a skirt but sucked it up and wore the tennis shoes...but he was so right it was soooo much better!

This is a picture I took of the sign when I thought we were going to be starting the game in 30 minutes...little did I know...

I really liked the little touches around the stadium

Even though Omaha is like the most random place for a major sporting event, they really embrace it and make it the perfect place!

And hello they brought in the fair food vendors....it was the craziest thing people walking around with funnel cakes...that's not baseball food.

Garrett and I went on a hunt for these...

Do you see in there? They are making curly fries out of a whole potato....it was crazy!!

And there were soooo many fries...I told some random guy he could share with us...I think he thought I was crazy...



Garrett got these homemade mini donunts...oh my...they were so yummy!

Did I mention that at this point it was about 3:30 had been raining since we got to the stadium at 11:00 and we still had no idea when the game would even start?!?

We were huddled under a food awning with a bunch of other brave souls

This was next to the stadium at the zoo....

Yay!! The people are finally taking the tarp off the field! Will there be some baseball?

Maybe?

Finally there is an announcement that the game will start!!



Where's Waldo? Hurry back I think we're actually going to get to watch some baseball!!



Finally the National Anthem!!


Only after 5.5 innings the rain started coming down hard, and the lightning was every where so...

They delayed the game again....

Finally at 10:20 the game was over and the SOONERS won! Making the 12 hours at Rosenblatt totally worth it!!

With all of the people there for 12+ hours the stand were filthy...

The Road to Omaha - day 1

At the beginning of baseball season Garrett told me that if the Sooners made it to the College World Series we would go. So, I followed the boys all season in the hopes of getting to go on a Road Trip to watch some Sooner Sports (two of my very favorite things!!) After beating Virginia the number 1 team in the country, the Sooners (and Garrett and me) were headed to Omaha!!!

The drive to Nebraska (we actually stayed in Lincoln and only went that far the first day) was not so bad. It only took about 5.5 hours the perfect amount of time for me to get out all the stories I had saved up to tell Garrett. Don't worry he loves listening to me talk!

We stopped in a place called Newton and it smelled like poop. Literally like poop. I don't know how any one can live there. I sprayed gas all over myself at the pump and it was actually kind of refreshing to have to smell that.

The majority of the driving was through Kansas which is so flat it's crazy! (I almost said flat as a pancake but really a pancake is usually fluffy and Kansas is just flat!!)

I left Garrett in charge of car snacks...he brought tomatoes...but they were from the farmers market so good job G!

Garrett's new car has a free XM radio subscription for a few months, and my voice was getting tired so I decided to look for something to listen to. I found the CWS!!! Look how it puts the score on the screen! When I wanted to talk we could mute it and still see the score! So, fun!!

When we finally made it to Lincoln we asked for a restaurant recommendation and ended up at Misty's. It was a nice atmosphere with lots of Big XII (guess they be changing that soon). It wasn't the best food I've ever had, and it was pretty expensive....

But, they gave us a TON of food...we started with the crab cakes (no picture) that were so yummy!! Garrett ordered the burger, that was huge and got a ton of sweet potato fries...

I ordered the ribs and got TWO full racks!! I've never seen so many ribs, we took so much food back to the hotel room it was crazy!!

After dinner we headed back to the hotel, put our dreams of working out in the gym to bed and then we quickly followed...
