Friday Favorites: OU Football Games

August 19, 2011

With football season literally rightaroundthecorner, and OU being ranked pre-season NUMERO UNO, I thought I would devote this Friday Favorites to my five most favorite OU football games to have ever attended. Number ones up! Here we gOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO (get it? hehe)


#5: OU vs. OS-Who? 2003
Yes, this was way back when the parents would buy the tickets, drive us to the game, etc. :) :)  One of my very first OU football games; I was 16. I quickly learned that any win over the Cowboys is SWEET. I wouldn't have such a problem with them if their fans weren't so obnoxious. Seriously, it's ridiculous. This has served as another reason I have "unfriended" people on Facebook. Don't mess w/ my Sooners people :) I think the week after this game, they went on to beat Texas A&M 77-0, which was an awesome game to be at, too! Everyone was mad at OU b/c they thought we went too hard on A&M racking up 70+ points on them and not "letting" them score any. OU can't help it if their 3rd- and 4th-strings are better than the rest of the conference too. Get over it :) :)



# 4: OU vs. West Virginia: Fiesta Bowl, 01/02/08
This game is on this list solely because I had the honor of sitting next to Billy Sims during the entire game...err...until he left early because OU was losing. Sad day...but I got to sit next to and chat with a Heisman Trophy winner! Maybe someday I'll get to sit next to HRH Sam Bradford .......ahhhh... :) "Booma!"

# 3: OU vs Texass, 2010
This was the second OU/TX game Corey had been to, and coincidentally, the second one they had won out of the four or five I had been to. It was awesome to see Landry Jones get his first win over Texas! Man they really sucked! (And it looks like they'll be just as bad this year!) OU/TX has always been a family affair, which is why it's always fun whether OU wins or loses. My dad has even come up with a song to sing while Texass' queer band is playing one of their dumb songs. I don't quite know how to describe it, but by halftime, the entire section is singing along with us. :) Fun times.


# 2: OU vs Mizzou, Big XII Championship, 2008
This was an AWESOME game to go to! We trekked up to Kansas City in mid-December, knowing it was going to be F-R-E-E-Z-I-N-G. I literally had 7 layers of clothes on (this was also the Christmas I got my first pair of Uggs from mom & dad. Luckily, they let me have them early. This was their first real test.) We had the *perfect* seats too; right on the 50-yard line. If they were to score 60 points in this game, they would break the record for being the first school to ever score 60+ points in 5 games straight. Mr. Bradford did not disappoint. Poor Missouri (or as dad calls them, Misery) did not bring very many fans, so the OU fans were going crazy! More fun times!!


# 1: OU vs Texas Tech, 2008
Two games before the Big XII Championship, OU was ranked #5, and Texas Tech strutted in to Norman with their big heads ranked #2. By halftime, they were down 42-7, and the crowd was LOVING IT! They played "Jump Around" and the entire stadium was jumping up and down for what seemed like 5 minutes or more. We were in the student section, so it was double crazy. Here's a video of the awesomeness. Best. game. ever.

Boomer Sooner baby!!
