2010 Season: Game #11

The Sooners made yet another trip to Texas last weekend, landing in Waco.  Luckily, for those fans driving long distances, this destination was not as far as College Station.  The game against Baylor proved to be an important outing for our Sooners, mainly to prove to themselves that they can win, and win well, on the road. Road wins seem to be our weakness this season. But a strong showing in Waco seems to have silenced doubters, for now.

From the outside, Baylor's stadium appears to be quite nice, even though it's in the middle of...nowhere. I was beginning to wonder if there actually was a college. Once inside the place shows its true age, some 57 years. The bathrooms have a tendency to become swamps and of all inconveniences, the video board was broke for the first half! It was ridiculous. And of course, most of the action occurred on the other end of the field so OU fans were left in the dark, literally, most of game. I'm not sure how much team pride Baylor actually has either. I supposed their stadium was only half working because they only fill up about half the seats. By the 2nd half the OU fans outnumbered the scattered Baylor fans. Oh, it was also a night game and the lighting left something to be desired. Hence, my pictures from this game leave quite a lot to the imagination! Dang night games anyway....*grumble*

Prayer before the game. 

In action!

But back to the actual game. #32 was in again on punt return against the Bears and also received playing time at fullback. Due to some difficulties with the defense we weren't sure how much the offense was actually going to play the 4th quarter, but he got a whole series in eventually. And he made the block that allowed Ryan Broyles to make his 100 yd mark for the so many consecutive game in a row. Go Marshall!



We had quite a Musil crew for this outing. Along with my mother and I we packed in Aunt Brenda, Aunt Wendy, Tim, cousin Kyle, and Mr. Fish (refer to Facebook pictures for explanation). All in our little Mercury. It's a good thing we all like each other.

This weekend will be the true test for our Sooners. It's the epitome of "make it or break it."  If the Sooners want a chance at a Big 12 Championship and a good Bowl Game, this week's win against OSU is essential.

Musil crew in Waco!
