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.

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...)

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!!!

Boomer Sooner.

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
