This may not be the right forum, but for a game like this I think it needs more attention than in the stands. *Winning two out of every three years *State Fair corn dogs *Eating whatever newly invented fried item that is sold every year *Laughing at inappropriately dressed okies who are venturing out of their trailer park for the first time except for maybe an occasional visit to walmart. *Hearing half the stadium yell SUCKS!! after every single OU chant *The annual conversion of the fight son to Give 'Em Hell, Give 'Em Hell, OU SUCKS!! *Fighting 30,000 other people trying to meet friends at Big Tex...well, maybe not my favorite, but trying to figure out why I still do this....I mean the ferris wheel is a pretty easy thing to spot too. *Seeing exactly half the stadium filled with orange and half of it empty with three minutes left in the game two out of every three years *The annual OU sux thread on Hornfans
Not in order, but rather in calendar order: 1) Belgium waffle with strawberries, whipped cream, & powdered sugar, washed down with a Dr Pepper (OK, it's 9 AM) 2) Fletchers Corndog 3) Momma's funnel cake at The Dock while visiting with her, and watching football 4) Going into Glen & Sharri's for sausage and watching their big screen TV 5) Looking at new cars & trucks 6) Singing "The Eyes of Texas" to 40,000 polyester clad cretins that don't the words to the school song of the team they support - in my 54 year experience, it seems a large percentage never set foot on the OU campus. 7) Wondering why their "god" is talking to a guy dressed in Burnt Orange, when they seem afraid to even say "Hello" to him. 8) Mexican food at Herrera's
1. Fletcher's Corn Dog at the Midway stand just off the corner of entry gate 6 (MLK for you newbs) 2. Deep Fried Frito Pie Bites 3. The Swings 4. The Pirate Ship 5. Swimming through the sea of people to get to the stairs leading into the main stadium entrance 6. Not participating in the first "OU Sucks" at the end of the first rendition of Texas Fight just so I can hear the rest of you crazy ************* screaming that **** 15 or so mins before the game begins 7. Participating in the second "OU Sucks" at the end of the second rendition of Texas Fight just so I can join in with you crazy ************* screaming that **** 14 or so mins before the game begins 8. Watching both bands before the game (I love everything about this day and that requires their participation in it, so yes I like watching the Pride) 9. Waving good-bye to the south end of the stadium as they go to a first aid station to start healing their bum-bums after we've violated them 10. Singing the Eyes of Texas after a win against those cOcksUckers 11. The long walk on the way down (we always sit in the upper deck) 12. Getting that large assed turkey leg at that BBQ stand by the Old Mill Inn 13. Meeting with the regulars (mostly my dad's frat bros that literally watched me grow up at this place) at the fountain by the Old Mill Inn.
I can not believe the lack of support and excitement at the pep rally tonight. There were no more than 200 students and maybe 200 adults/parents. Zero excitement at all with maybe half participating in cheers. Herman spoke for less than a minute mostly about needing more student support with only about 15 players showing up. Just terrible if you ask me.
The feeling in my pants when the game is sealed. When all that separates Texas from the win is a few snaps and ticks of the clock.
Maybe the egghead liberals running the show should stop their condescending, politically correct ******** like cancelling a torch light parade to kick off the pep rally. Stop offending the fans for the appeasement of a few far left radical libs who probably don’t know a basketball from a football.
One of my traditions is to buy my new UT hat at the shop outside the west (main) gate. On years I plan to get a new hat, I wait until ou and get it there.
