Last weekend the Musil Crew made the trek to Columbia, MO to watch the Sooners battle the Mizzou Tigers. As a family, we were both interested and a little apprehensive to be going back to a college where Marshall was recruited. The game this week was between to ranked teams. And not just ranked, but two unbeaten ranked teams. The hype was high, especially after OU had gained the #1 spot in the BCS rankings the weekend before. ESPN Gameday was on hand to chronicle the game in Columbia as well.

Let's just say that being in Mizzou's stadium, wearing red when your team is #1 and their team WANTS to be #1, is an experience I don't want begin having on a regular basis. I was amazed at how few red spots my eyes found when scanning the stands. And the sea of that garnish "gold" was blinding. Unfortunately, for our #1 Sooners the evening did not go well. We were journeying into a hostile environment full of hostile people. The offenses struggled to find a combination that produced numbers on the scoreboard and the defense struggled to keep numbers off that very same scoreboard. I think the tone of the night would best be described as "struggle." It was a struggle for parents to get their tickets and as all of you watching national TV witnessed, it was a struggle for players to even get off the field....
Again, let's just hope we never experience another night like the misty, humid night of October 23rd.

Marshall did wish me to mention that for the first time in Musil Crew history the ratio of men to women in our cheering section fell in favor of the males! I'm not sure how many more times this will happen, so take note!
