2011 Season: OU vs. Texas Tech

Rain, Rain, GO AWAY! 
Yes, it's cliche. But it's also true: when it rains, it pours. Saturday night at Owens Stadium in Norman, OK the skies opened and the football gods rained down ill luck on our Sooners. Of course, the ESPN analysts like to blame the loss on" this" and Norman analysts will blame it on" that."  The fact of the matter is we lost, it's over, and now it's on to K-State and Synder's Wildcats.


Marshall and Jaydan. 2 Kansas kids!


#20 on kick-return! 

Another in-action shot!

Extra point! 



Final Score: Texas Tech 41- OU 38


It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you got to have is faith and discipline when you're not a winner.

2011 Season: OU vs Kansas

Another football weekend has come and gone and while this girl is still recovering from driving 50,000 miles, the Kansas relatives were more than pleased to attend a game in their home state. In Marshall's 3 years at OU this was our first trip home to the Sunflower State and our family and friends did not disappoint. I sincerely hope the fans who traveled to Lawrence know how much it meant to us to have them there supporting our Sooner. It's hard to ever be negative when we have so much to be thankful for.

Going into the Kansas game, the Sooners were picked to win...big. But halfway into the 1st quarter, most fans were wondering what had happened to our undefeated Sooners. Landry Jones struggled through an off game, but if there were ever a week to be missing a few passes, this was it. Eventually the defense woke up in the 4th quarter, the Sooners prevailed, and all is still right in the college football world.

Our Sooner had 2 jobs this game. Kick return and field goal.

Final Score: OU 47--KU 17

Marshall's best friend from Osborne, Aaron Geist, cheered for #20 while sitting in the front row of the KU student section and wearing red and blue. We will forgive him the clothing choice, but couldn't we get an OU shout out on ESPN 2, Aaron??? (you know I'm just kidding...)



Here's some photos from after the game. Marshall had no idea who was all waiting for him at the buses. The best part of the night was seeing his face find one person he knew, only to look up and see another smiling, friendly face. It's moments like these that make the sleepless nights and long Monday's all worth it.

2011 Season: OU vs Texas--The Red River Rivalry

The beginning of October finally rolled around and any Sooner fan knows what that means....OU/TX weekend, The Red River Rivalry, the Texas State Fair, 90,000 people, congested traffic on I-35, and Texas-style heat. And yet every year we keep flocking back to the Cotton Bowl, bad plumbing and all!  At this point in the season, with analysts criticizing our strength schedule and a continuous drop in the polls, the Sooners (and their fans!) were out to prove their worth. And in true OU fast-paced offense, tenacious defense style...we accomplished just that. I mean, the student section doesn't start chanting "LONG-HORN, NET-WORK" in the 3rd quarter for no reason.
One-handed catch!

Proud to be a Sooner!
Final score: OU 55- TX 17
Sorry Texas. I guess what they say is true.. "BOOMER SOONER! TEXAS SUCKS!!!!"

Grandma, Kyle, and Meredith. College Game day bus...and TEXAS SUCKS!
As usual, Marshall had a Musil contingent on-hand to witness this decisive win.

Looking forward to this weekend? The Sooners travel back to Dorothy's home state to take on the sad little Jayhawks. Hopefully it doesn't get too ugly. We are excited to be in Kansas see some old friends! Bring it on, Hawks!

2011 Season: OU vs. Ball State


Last Saturday featured another OU home game here in the great town of Norman, OK. Ball State met the Sooners at Owen Stadium and early into the game it was apparent things were not going to go well for the Cardinals. The game was only broadcast on pay-per-view and after the final score was posted it's not very hard to see why. 

Sooners win 62-6. 



The Musil Crew this weekend included 2 of the Mom's siblings, Uncle Joe and Aunt Karen. Also joining us was Aunt Karen's youngest daughter, and Marshall's biggest fan, Jennifer.  We all had a great time in Norman and Marshall and I definitely cherish the time we get to spend with our family when they're here!

This weekend is the Red River Rivalry!!! (hopefully not the last one...)
