As many of you already know the 2011 Bowl Game was held this year in Glendale, Arizona at the University of Phoenix Stadium.
The Musil Crew hit the road for an..interesting...road trip to the warm regions of Arizona! Did I say warm? What I meant was "blizzard-like and too similar to Kansas" regions of Arizona. We seem to bring the weather with us. Even though the trip took a good 2 days, we still made it in time to enjoy a decent Saturday and get to the game in more than enough time to get our tickets and search around the stadium. It was chilly as the sun went down on game day and even though the stadium was enclosed, it was not heated. Because who would need a heated stadium in Arizona?? Only us.
The game proved to be extra exciting as Marshall was on punt return and kick-off. He also marked his first tackle on kick-off!! And it happened right in front of us. We almost couldn't believe it happened, mainly because we're not used to seeing him on defense. An exciting moment for him...and us! It was great to see the Sooners win their Bowl Game appearance after so many doubters thinking they would fail. We are looking forward to another great season next year!
Final score OU 48 UCONN 20
After the game we took the boy to Denny's and didn't finish eating till about 2:00 AM. It as a very late night and an early start the next day for the trip home. ETA for Kansas was about 2:30 the next morning. NEXT YEAR CAN WE PLEASE FLY??????
Next bowl trip I promise to live blog. Believe me, this would be much more entertaining if I had.
Another piece of news. This year for Christmas I asked family and friends to help me with a project, or digital scrapbook, of the 2010 football season for Marshall. I have tried my hardest to upload this video to Facebook, Youtube, and the blog to no avail. The file is just too large. So....I have burned a copy and sent it to Mom. If you live near her and would like to see it, contact her. If not, contact me and I'll get you a copy. You can call or text me if you have my number/contact me on facebook/or shoot me an email.
