2010 Season: Game #3

Game #3 has come and gone. And all we can say is "whew!" what a weekend it was!

This was a weekend our family personally was looking forward to because 13 family members from good ol' western Kansas made the trek to Norman to watch a Sooner football game. It was a trip they had been planning for months, and we had been anticipating for months!

The Musil's from western Kansas arrived Friday night and spent an evening in downtown OKC, better known as Bricktown, with their trusty guide..me!

Saturday was the big game: Ou vs Air Force. It was our first experience playing Air Force and everyone decided we hope that these two teams play again in the future. It was a very patriotic day, including fly-overs by jets, a performance by the Air Force band, and a special tribute to all the branches of the US military.

Air Force was a worthy opponent. Their offense is fascinating to watch, but I'm sure the OU defense would have other ways of saying it! Marshall played on punt return again this weekend. Even though he'll probably take the field countless times throughout his college career, I can't help but shake with excitement when he's in. His work on punt return was very well done this weekend.

The Sooners squeaked by Air Force with a 27-24 win.




Also traveling long distance to the game were our next door neighbors from Osborne, KS, Steve and Sarah Waugh. And Dad's former football player and good friend, Heath Morgan.















We are so very thankful for all the people who have supported Marshall throughout his life. He, and we his family, are so very blessed to have friends and family that are willing to drive such long distances and take time out of their busy lives to come support him. Our gratitude is so deep. Even though I might say thank you a million times throughout this blog, please know that I would say it a million more if I were given the chance.

"How excellent is thy loving-kindness, O God!" Psalms 36:7


This weekend the Sooners tackle the Cincinnati Bearcats in Ohio. Unfortunately, the Football Freelancer will not be attending, but rest assured that this will be the ONLY game in Marshall's college career that I miss!!!!!!!!

Stay tuned ;)

2010 Season: Game #2

This Saturday found the Musil family back at Owen Stadium for a much-anticipated game against Florida State. OU vs Florida State was THE game for the Sooner preseason and the loyal Sooner Nation did not disappoint.

If there was any doubt as to who would be the victor in this match-up, all naysayers were soon silenced within the first few minutes of the game. The Sooners came out with hunger to WIN! That hunger lasted the entire 4 quarters, tallying up a final score of 47-17. Sorry Seminoles.

Our favorite Sooner made his debut in the 4th quarter, and boy did our little row erupt when he hit the field! Even though it was the longest OU game on record (running a total of 223 minutes...) the Musil section was still alive and cheering for the entire afternoon. Marshall executed his fullback duties with ease and looked right at home on the OU field. We're so proud of him!!















The crew for the OU vs Florida State game included cousin Sarah, Aunt Brenda, Mom, Meredith, #32, and Tim. We always have a good time with our family from Texas and can't wait to see them again for OU/TX!

Thank you for all the kind words, phone calls, Facebook messages, Facebook comments, and text messages to our family. It's humbling to think about how many people are following our Sooner. We just want you all to know that we greatly appreciate all your thoughts!

Boomer Sooner, baby. GO OU!! ;)

2010 Season: Game Numero Uno

Greetings Faithful Football Followers!! (there's an alliterative mouthful!)

The first game for the OU Sooners has come and gone, and what an experience it was. Of course, Norman began preparing that Tuesday. Red and white flags began appearing in all the designated parking areas throughout the week and by Friday morning the serious tailgaters were marking their prime territory with lawn chairs and tents. It's quite the ordeal for home games here in Soonerland!

The crew for the first home game included Uncle Jerry, cousins Jerred and Chelsey, Mom, Tim and yours truly. It was a perfect football Saturday with an evening game. The air even smelled like football; like many Friday nights that I remember back in Leopard Country.

The intro video this year is absolutely fantastic. I was so impressed. If you want to see it, I posted the link to soonersports.com. It wouldn't let me post the direct link. Soonersports.com is divided by dates and you'll find the intro video under Wednesday, September 8.

Our #32 played for his first time in live game for the Sooners on Saturday! He was on the punt return team. It was amazing to see him on the field and he had some very proud family members in the stands!


It was a perfect game. Even though the Sooner struggled, our family enjoyed every minute of the new season. It's a whole new year with so many possibilities. We thank the Lord for all He has blessed us with.






Jerred loves his big cousin!!

The Musil clan is ready for another Sooner Saturday this week. It's an afternoon game. Hopefully we don't melt, because the Oklahoma heat is back!


Even though some of Marshall's biggest fans can't be with us in person, we know they're with us in spirit. There were some very important men on everyone's minds last Saturday. I can only imagine how the game looks from their seats! :)
