chaos: a state of extreme confusion and disorder
And that's exactly how I would describe last weekend's game. Unacceptable interceptions, unstoppable defense, new offensive schemes, and let's not forget 40 points scored between both teams in the 4th quarter, most within the last 90 seconds. Whew. In my two years going to Sooner games I think it is safe to say that this was THE most exhilarating game I've ever witnessed. The fans roared, the stadium rocked, and the Sooners rolled. Amen, Alleluia. On to Dallas. Bring on a Bowl Game!!!
Our Sooner was again present on punt return and, we're told, received plenty of TV-airtime at other random moments. When family and friends tell me they see him on TV I sometimes think to myself, "I wish I could see him on TV!!!"Because, to be completely honest, he's been playing for OU 2 years and I've never once seen a TV version of the game. But then I just have to remind myself that, hey, I'm AT the games. That's obviously much better, right??? YES, duh. The pictures this weekend were sorry, to put it lightly. The darkness added to our position in the stadium (top section, behind the endzone??? Thanks OSU!!!) made it nearly impossible to get anything resembling a "good shot" unless the desired target was within about 2 feet.

Also, this was by far the chilliest game of the season! But if all works out like it should...it will actually be the coldest temperatures we endure. And I can live with that. How lucky are we to have had such temperate weather! Plus, the game was just too exciting in the 4th quarter to allow us to get very stationary, hence cold. It wasn't until after the game and chatting with Marshall that MY legs began to refuse demands from my brain and walking to the car became a literal game of "one step in front of the other." And then...there was the arduous trek home. Stillwater is what? 1.5 hrs from Norman?? Try leaving Stillwater at 12 MIDNIGHT and not arriving home until 2:30. All worth it though. All worth it....

The Musil crew this weekend actually included more boys than girls!!! But we'll have the boys beat this weekend...no worries! We had family with us from back home. Uncle Jerry and little cousins Chelsey and Jerred, Mom, Tim, and ME!
