We have season tickets so I am in Section 23 every home game well almost everyone as I missed two this year while I was in FL when my oldest daughter had my first grandchild. My daughter called me at the start of the game tonight to tell me she had put on the Sooner gear I bought Sydney before she was born to bring us luck. Sydney was born on Saturday right after we lost to UT and since then we have won every game. My daughter puts her Sooner gear on for the games along with hers. Now Sydney will be getting a Big 12 Championship shirt for a keepsake when she gets older!
I put on my sooner shirt tonight that I had on when we beat Nebraska in 2000 which I always get out for good luck! I bought a Sooner Mom shirt for that game in 2000! What a game that was in 2000 and I enjoyed tonight just as much!
I hate watching from home -- was a nervous wreck once again. In the stands I don't get as nervous as I do watching at home and yelling at the announcers.
The had Arkansas as the team we lost to because of refs when it was Oregon and then gave Barry seven national championships.
I have been known to go in the other room, go out and weed if it is a day game, etc. if we are starting to lose. I was a nervous wreck last week. My son had our kicker, Hartley, was a student in his English Comp class when he was pulled out of redshirt and we found out before the media. My son called me right after class to tell me he was going to be kicking.
I very seldom participate in the message boards but love reading some of the comments. My son posts on them all the time.
I heard that "Arkansas" flub! Just shows what they think of Flyover Country football - it's always been that way.
After all the brouhaha, it's not like they should forget "Oregon"!
Glad *your* gear is working! Sounds like all the kids in my family used to have, too! I'm the biggest kid about the Sooners, tho. Third generation and I'm the last one left.
An example of my jinxedness - take a real wild guess at what point in the Oregon game I turned up the sound on the TV. Take another guess when I did it with Texas. Yup.
