Official Visit

The weekend of December 19th-20th Mom, Marshall, and I took Marshall's Official Visit to OU. We didn't get to do this during the season because the Leopards went so far into the playoffs and it just never worked out. But after going last weekend we were glad we waited. Marshall was able to see so much more this time than he would have had we gone earlier in the year. He spent lots of time with the Offensive Coordinator, andhis recruiting coach, Coach Wilson. Coach Wilson always takes great care of us while we're there! Marshall was also able to spend some time with the guys that play TE and FB on the team now, which gave him the opportunity to ask questions and get to know the system a little better.

Mom and I even got to sit in on 2 practices with Marshall and the team! It's amazing to watch the same guys everyone sees on TV practice right in front of you! We had a fantastic time.

Everyone we were with--coaches and players included--were outstanding. Everyone is so laid-back and ready to welcome Marshall with open arms.

Future #2??? Probably not, but it was fun to try on an official OU jersey. Marshall's thoughts on this: "It's tight..."


Marshall and I got to pose with Sam Bradford's Heisman trophy! Also, I think you can see the Big 12 trophy in the background of Marshall's picture.



Marshall stopped Sam Bradford, who was walking out of practice with Coach Venables, and asked him if he would take a picture with me! Obviously, he said yes....
