2011 Season: OU vs Mizzou

Football fans gathered at Owens Stadium last Saturday for the much-anticipated re-match between the OU Sooners and the Missouri Tigers. The major difference this year? No unruly Mizzou fans!And if you watched on TV you already know the win was NOT pretty, but...at least it's a win.

Sooner fans were on the edge of their seats during the first half...especially after some sketchy offensive plays and huge defensive mistakes, but in the end OU prevailed 38-28 and sent the kitties home with their tails between their legs.

To the field!

Marshall and Aunt Brenda

Musil crowd!!! 

Marshall's cheering section this weekend was rather large, consisting of the regulars: Mom, Tim, and Grandma. And adding Texas aunts, Brenda and Wendy and cousins Amanda and Jeff. The more the merrier to cheer for our Sooner!!


Looking ahead to next week??? I've got you covered ;)

2011 Season: OU vs Florida State

As many of you probably already know, the #1 Sooners faced #5 Florida State last weekend in a Saturday night showdown. Seeing as this game would have required considerable travel time, most likely involving my stepfather driving 3 women halfway across the United States, the Musil clan stayed in the Central Plains and watched the game on TV-- just like many of you do every weekend.  Mom and I decided this is not our preferred method of seeing the games and we're both glad that is the ONLY game we will be missing this season. Whew.

And what a game it would have been to see in person! Even on TV we could tell the fan noise might be an issue, just as some announcers had predicted earlier in the day. The game was a nail-biter, but our Sooners pulled out a victory in true OU fashion.

Final Score: OU 23-FSU 13

Ready for this Saturday?? Sooners get a rematch with Mizzou on our home turf. Let's hope the Tigers fans stay home. After last year I could live with never seeing another drunk Mizzou fan and be just fine...

2011 Season: OU vs. Tulsa

It's finally here, football fans!!! The first weekend of college football. And even though that crisp, fall air didn't arrive until Sunday, football fans in Norman came out in typical Sooner style to show their support for the 2011 team. Hopefully by September 24th (the next home game...) Oklahoma summer will have disappeared for good and we'll be able to enjoy the evening without sweating buckets.

This was Marshall's first game wearing the #20 and it did take a bit for mom and I to get used to finding #20 instead of #32. After 2 years of constantly searching for #32 it will take some getting used to, but no worries! The jersey still says MUSIL in big, white letters on the back :)

Marshall played on punt team during the game. Here are some photos!

Tulsa ended up not being much of an opponent for our Sooners and we came out on top 47-14. OU's offense did well, especially with the running game lead by Dominique Whaley.  Next week is an off-week...ALREADY.

Who joined us this weekend?

GO #20!!! 

Love my little brother :)

There won't be a game update this weekend...but check back periodically in case there is any important news! <3

Don't forget!!

Just a reminder that our Sooner won't be hitting the field in #32 this weekend. As of now, he is officially #20!! If you have family or friends that watch the game for Marsh, be sure and let them know his number has changed...or they might miss him!

New number, new year. BRING IT ON!!!

Game time: Saturday, September 3rd. 7:00 PM. Aired on FX

From #32 to #20

Hello football fans! I hope everyone was able to tune in to ESPN and catch all the amazing footage. How cool to be a part of something like that!! More great memories for our Sooner.

Yes, the first game is a week away, team pictures have been taken, and the media guide is already out, BUT our Sooner is no longer #32. All of you who have t-shirts sporting a #32 just have an excuse to get new shirts!! Marshall is officially #20!!!!!! (which really is closer to #2 and #22, right??) Marshall and the defensive #32 were both on the same special teams, so since Flemming is a year older...Marshall got to change.

It's officially a week until game time!!! BOOMER SOONER! 

August 19th & ESPN

Friday was the final practice of the preseason! And then the Sooners had almost an entire weekend to themselves before Monday. Classes start up Monday, along with more practices. We also start the 2 weekend countdown to the 1st game. Football Season...here we come!

Also, remember ESPN will continue airing the All Access videos on ESPN U

Info and times found here!

Thursday, August 18th featured the last scrimmage. And Norman weather was exceptionally hot and humid. I was not able to attend due to my first day of inservice, but here's what Soonersports.com has to offer! I've noticed they don't had too much on scrimmage days...very secretive with the plays...

And of course, no video updates from the scrimmage, but Marshall informs me that he had a 10-yard catch for a 1st down! Cheers for #32!!!

Be ready for the last update tomorrow. I'll also be posting links to the ESPN All Access clips that have appeared on ESPN this week. BOOMER SOONER!

August 16th

Preason practice is winding down and the players are counting down the last few days until Friday, signalling the end of Presason 2011. Tomorrow will be the last 2-a-day practice, Thursday features another scrimmage (conveniently happening on the same day I go back to school...grrr...), and Friday ends it all! Boomer Sooner.

August 12th, 13th, 14th, & 15th

As I've missed 4 updates (4?!?!?!) I'm going to try to give the quick version in one post. We'll see how that goes. The main event that I missed covering (AND attending) was the scrimmage on Saturday. Seriously, probably on the 2nd scrimmage I've missed since I've been in Norman. And Marshall just happened to have a great day. Today was also the 2nd to last 2-a-day! Only one more to go...Wednesday.

Videos will be a separate post.

I noticed I hadn't posted the 2011 schedule yet, so for those of you wondering...here's a link to the soonersports.com website where you will find all the info. Game times are usually announced the Monday before the game. 

2011 Schedule

Also, ESPN joined the Sooners for the first 2 weeks of practice, filming what it's like to be an OU football player, both on and off the practice field. They did the same thing with Alabama last year, if anyone remembers that?? The footage will begin showing on August 23rd, but for details as to which ESPN station to watch (and what time...) follow the link!!
