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.
