BOOMER SOONER!!!

I know I promised my explanation and I will do it some time this week. (I actually started it) I'm so happy we are going to the Big XII Championship game! I'm so proud of OUr boys and I really feel like they deserve the game. Having said that I am sorry that we will not being having a rematch with texas. I believe it would go very differently if it were replayed.

BOOMER SOONER! Get on that practice field and get ready for the tigers!!

Does this kid deserve the Heisman or what? I wish I had the video of this he does a complete flip five feet off the ground, jumped up and didn't even look shaken. AMAZING!

Sooner Magic.

Tonight was wonderful!

Sooner Magic mixed with unbelievable talent and pure skill! Four games in a row scoring over 60 points two ranked teams in two weeks. Arguably the hardest road win in the country. 640 points and the season isn't even over. We may be the first team in postwar history to score 700 points in one season? And only two other teams have done so in the history of football. A coach who doesn't whine? It feels so good to be an Oklahoma Sooner!

I am joining the Bob Stoops move to not politic for a spot in the Big XII title game. But, let it be known that I do believe we should be there. And after the polls are released tomorrow I will let my reasons be known.

and to the haters at ESPN and College Game Day jump on the saxet band wagon all you want, it makes the victories that much sweeter!

domination.

Saturday started at 2:45am with my alarm going off, I was startled mostly because I didn't think I had ever fallen asleep. At 12:30 I was looking at the clock begging myself to please fall asleep. Then telling myself if you just think about nothing you will fall asleep, then answering myself that I can't think of nothing when I am thinking about not sleeping. Eventually it must have worked because the alarm woke me. I took a shower loaded my car (with warm clothes, blankets, and such) and headed for Norman.


I met my friend at 4:20am we headed to McDonald's and Wal-Mart to get some last minute supplies (ice, sour cream, super glue, and such). Then it was off to my favorite place in the world (which can be seen in this post). Once arriving on campus a little before 5:00am we scoped out the competition (or the line, had it been a normal hour I'd have taken pictures of the crazies) and headed off to find a place to park. It was about 30 degrees outside with a much colder feels like temperature and it took us about 3o minutes to psych ourselves up enough to put on our layers and exit the car.


Once we finally did we made our way to the track where none other than the College Game Day crew was set up. I'm gonna guess there were about 100ish people ahead of us in line. I was checking out the other signs to see how mine measured up. I started it about 9:30 Friday night and was thinking it was pretty rough but compared to the other signs it wasn't half bad. (glitter makes everything look better). At one point another friend joined us in the line waiting and I of course made friends with the people behind us.


Here I am waiting in line all bundled up wearing a ton of crimson (which when I asked if it was too much I was told, "there is no such thing as too much crimson" duh that's the truth)
My eyes look so blue!

Before we were allowed inside of the game day set up we had to go through security, they had to read our signs to make sure they were tv appropriate and some people were patted down (me not being one of them) I was asked to go to a special second line because the first lady wasn't sure if my sign was mean or not (sign to be seen later in the post) My friend got questioned about an empty camera case (camera was around my neck) apparently camera cases are suspicious when they are empty. After the security check point it was time for free stuff and trying to get on tv...
Here is the side I never showed the tv

And here is the side that made it on tv! Not only did it make it on tv but Lee pointed at it and smiled. Of course it was because he knows its true!


Here is Kirk Herbstreet in the flesh. (so exciting!)

The back of Kirk, Lee, and Chris (no zoom, so close) of course I never took pictures when they were looking at us...I was sleepy!
Here I got one of Chris talking to the group of us. (you can see the last pic I took of him here) Obviously my centering abilities need help!

After several hours we decided to head out and try and warm up. We went to Wal-Mart to pick up a charcoal grill and a few other things. When we got there my friend said I'm going to close my eyes for a minute (so I did too), next thing we knew it was an hour later. He proceeded to tell everyone we talked to all day about our nap in the WM parking lot and I was embarrassed, but I guess since I've posted it on the Internet he can tell whoever he wants.


After that went to a different friends house and grilled (friend makes the best burgers ever, so yummy) and hung out for several hours, the highlight of this part of the day was watching the boys play stickball with a tennis ball. Silly boys. Also, I got to sit some at this point.


When it was time to leave we walked around campus visiting people at tailgates around campus (lots and lots of walking) Met some new people, fun times.


Finally it was time to enter the stadium (please note at this point we had been on campus for close to 13 hours!) We got into the stadium got our free beanies! yay! We watched the team warm up and got excited!! We sat down as much as we could for the hour and half because we knew it would be the last time for hours...we were so pumped! I was saving the seat next to me for someone 1. not drunk 2. not a tech fan 3. and knew something about football. Of course I got stuck to a drunk guy annoying! Of course he had to pee (because he was drunk) and asked me to save his seat, a normal looking sober guy so I offered him the seat next to me (I told him about drunk guy (I had also told drunk guy my friend might come back) to make a long story short when drunk guy returned...he knew normal guy. Are you kidding me...dang it! Anyway, Normal Guy told Drunk Guy we were cousins and we all just squeezed in.


The game pretty much speaks for itself with our 65-21 domination over texas tech. It was absolutely without a doubt the best game I have been to. It was amazing. I have never seen the fans be so into a game. It was Awesome!
Nic Harris!
Had an amazing game! Way too stay on top of your tackling! You looked awesome!
The boys getting excited before the game! Everybody JUMP!
This is me watching the game. I think I looked way better at 5:00am! Maybe if I had done my new smile technique. Dang it!
Here is the offense! (Best picture ever)

This easily ranks at the top of my best Saturdays ever! I hope that our boys keep playing like they did Saturday, because they looked practically flawless! Keep up the good work boys!

don't jinx me, please.

I had a really great post typed up with tons of pictures, and I just kept looking at it. Scrolling up and down it thinking about how if I posted it, I might jinx things. Then I'd think about how silly that really is....but either way I just couldn't for the life of me hit the orange Publish Post button. So, I've deleted it, and typed this over it. And it makes me feel better. My plans for the day include getting my eyebrows waxed...ouch. How often are you supposed to do that anyway? I'm not really sure. Guess I could ask....I also think I'm going to get a manicure my nails are looking pretty bad, at this point I don't think I can be much help to them. And I think I'll resume my walking schedule today even though it is FREEZING outside. Maybe it'll get me ready for tomorrows adventures in the cold...I can for sure tell you I will not be updating tomorrow as it looks like I'll be heading to Norman early and staying late...for now I will leave you with this great picture

photobucket.

Thanks to photobucket for allowing me access to my pictures again. I signed on to photobucket last week to check things out because I need to start using it again since I've lost the ability to post pictures how I was doing it. (annoying) Anyway, I went to get on yesterday to get a picture for wordless Wednesday and I couldn't get into my account *gasp* all those precious pictures. So, anyway I couldn't reset my password because I no longer have access to the email address that I originally used when I signed up for the account. Luckily, the smart people at the bucket had a solution, I had to answer like 8 questions about my account (most of which I had little idea of the answers) I used my humor to charm the nice folks and it worked because they have given me access to my pictures and it only took one day! wooo hooo! So, here is a picture for you to enjoy!
I had something so excited planned for you today but I left it at home so I guess it will just have to wait for another day. Sadness.
