Boomer Sooner

I rarely post on a whim here, so here goes.
My wife's folks got me tickets to the Big 12 championship this past weekend, and let me tell you, it was AWESOME. Grant and I drove down to San Antonio after camping Friday night with some friends. We were both tired, but we woke up quite a bit when we got on the bus of the park and drive and noticed we were the only sooners on the bus. Surrounded by obnoxious Tiger fans was fun, we did some jawing and decided that they had never watched football before.

When we got to the game, it was 75% Sooner fans, so right away it felt like home. Our seats were in the nosebleed section, but really, there wasn't a bad view in the house, a great stadium. The game was close early on, with a 14-14 halftime tie. Then the Sooners started to dominate. The final score ended up 38-17, good guys. My prediction was 42-24 good guys, so they exceeded it by some. What a great game, what a great season, but we were really close to having a chance to win it all, too bad we had a couple choke games... but that is why sport is so great. Anyway, great game, great atmosphere, great result.

BOOMER SOONER!
