Week 8: Famous Last Words

Week 8: Famous Last Words 

So since it is OU/TX week, I am going to write a Famous Last Words about that, and my first OU/TX experience ever!

Last year was the first time I ever went to OU/TX. I know it's crazy. Especially since I am a native Normanite. My parents were just never into football that much so we never went, and then I was not about to pay $500 for a ticket when I finally got to college so it just never happened. Last year, the GM of the Toyota store (where I work) happened to have two tickets and I guess my dad had told him I wanted to go so he gave them to me! It was so nice of him to do that for me.

When we got to Dallas there was such a great energy everywhere. My boyfriend and I had a great dinner the first night with OU and TX people everywhere we looked. Everyone was in such a great mood because everyone was so pumped.

The next morning we headed out bright and early and we were so excited because neither of us had been before. We got a decent parking spot and started the long walk to the stadium. We got to our seats and started to sweat like CRAZY. It was so fun to see how excited everyone was and to see the mascots, the cheerleaders, and the flags.

Unfortunately, we all know what happened shortly after that. We started to loose. And then we started to loose badly. And then we were pretty much done for. So we left and walked around the fair a little bit and got some margaritas and fried food! I looked everywhere for the fried grilled cheese because grilled cheeses just might be my favorite food. I could not find them anywhere so I settled for a piping hot, greasy corn dog and we left! We went back to the hotel and took a tequila shot (or two) to drown our sorrows, but decided we were just happy to get the opportunity to go and be together.

Then we went out that night and wore our colors proud and ate a delicious ribeye steak, jalapeno cheese grits, and calamari. Oh, and did I mention wine? It was lovely!

Although we lost, it was still such a fun experience and I wouldn't trade it for anything. I really wish I was going this year. I think it's going to be a great game, and I'm so jealous of all of my friends who are going!

BOOMER SOONER!

Coach Keilty's Inspirational Quote

One of my favorite teachers from high school always told us to "Dream Big Dreams" and it kind of became the motto of our school. He was one of the most genuine and loving teachers I ever had and I cannot think of a more motivational quote than that!
