64-0!!!

For our 4 year anniversary, I gave Earl 2 tickets to the OU home opener. Of course he had to bring me. J I’ve never been to a home game before, so I was super excited, as was he. We brought my little sister and little brother along. Evan stayed with my mom. Jason (brother) has a Marriott employee card (doesn’t work for Marriott…lol...don’t ask), so we were able to stay at the Residence Inn Bricktown for $45 a night (others had to pay $179 a night…gotta love good deals!) Anyway, we left KC Friday morning, super early, so we could explore town on Friday, before going to the Big Red Rally. We walked around Campus Corner (restaurants and shops) and I loved being able to see everything OU. OU bikes, OU socks, OU mugs, OU clothes, OU flags, etc. Loved it! So we loaded up on OU gear. Evan got a new jersey and other cool stuff. I got clothes, a throw and this cool sign for our yard (please don’t steal it neighborhood people) and Earl got shirts. We walked around the OU campus and then went to the Big Red Rally. It was fun! We got there early and sat in the front row! We were able to get an awesome video of Bob Stoops. J That night we went to Tapwerks at Bricktown. Lots of beer options. I even had one and I hate beer haha

Saturday we went to the mall and got more OU stuff. We even saw Quinten Griffin at an OU store. Earl was going to snap a picture with him, but when we got back, he was gone. Boo! (Sorry hun, my fault for trying to find that shirt on sale lol). We went back to the hotel and got ready for the game. The weather was kind of gross. There were light sprinkles, which we figured would stop. Nope, not the case. We stopped at Walmart on our way to Norman, to get ponchos. Sold out! I was getting frustrated with the weather and wasn’t happy that we would get poured on w/o ponchos. We parked and took a shuttle to the stadium. Then we walked to the Sooner Club Tailgate. We purchased the tailgate wristbands for $15 each. Best deal ever! We got all you care to eat food and beer/wine/tea, whatever…so cheap! Afterwards, we entered the stadium and I spotted people at a souvenir stand, buying PONCHO’s! So of course I had to drag Earl over there. We put our ponchos on and went to find our seats. What an awesome view. We always sit in the end zone, which is fine by us. The rain never stopped, so we didn’t get many pics (camera actually got some water damage…oops!). But the game was good. We won. J

We’re now on our way home to KC. Can’t wait to see Evan and watch the 49ers! J Earl and I had SO much fun at the game, that we plan to go back for another home game. Hopefully against Baylor or A&M.
