This year my birthday fell on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Christmas flights were SO expensive that I decided to do a Thanksgiving trip to Oklahoma instead. The timing worked out that there was a home OU football game - winning!!
This was my first game in about three years. Mark, Preston and Kendall came along with me. Getting our rain jackets ready...
Yeah, rain jackets. Too bad it POURED all morning before the game. The start was delayed by almost two hours, but we didn't know that until we arrived. We spent that time hanging out underneath the stadium, attempting to stay dry. Preston and I went on an adventure and found cotton candy! They loved hearing the band (as did I!). But when the game finally began, we were all soaked and only made it through the first quarter. FAIL. Ah well!
On our walk back to the car, we saw Kansas fans also leaving early. Mark said "man, that would suck to have come all the way from Kansas and be rained out and leave early." I gave him a look. Right. Those poor people coming from KANSAS, right next door, with no flights involved and no oceans in the way. Poor them. Ha ha ha!! He did catch the irony of that immediately.
We were smiling when we got back to the car and started warming up! And the Sooners did win, so it was all good. Better luck next time!
