It’s that time of year again where crazy plans (last year is included in that) start to be planned, ideas get into the head that way exceed what the wallet can realistically cope with, but that’s the fun in planning these trips right? I had the most amazing week of my life revolving around Sooner football last… [Read more…]
With all the changes in the conference the last few seasons, I think this years schedule is one to look forward and savor for a while to come. For years we pretty much know the conference opponents we are going to face 4 or 5 years in advanced, with out of conference games usually scheduled just as far in front.… [Read more…]
The trip last year was one that money can’t buy, and will probably never get repeated again (I still need to ask Kenny if he has had many random requests from Brits coming over to hook them up now!?). I have been busy the past day looking through the blog and seeing what things I… [Read more…]
It’s finally here! Not quite Sooner Football but at least we know who and when we shall be playing. I’m sure everyone that deals with the schedule has had a rough few months with the Big XII merry-go-round of teams coming and going, which has caused some havoc for scheduling. I have heard rumblings from… [Read more…]
The blog has digressed from just Sooner related, but it’s good to talk. I did need to do another Sooner Blog so what better thing to talk about than the Sooner Women’s Gymnastics team along with Bart Conner and Nadia Comaneci… A ‘Perfect’ match! If you didn’t already know, we love the Sooner Gymnasts from our visit. Everyone… [Read more…]
Has it really only been 4 months since Stacie and I were riding high from our short, but action packed few days in Norman? It honestly seems like it was a year ago, maybe even 2, but much longer than 4 months. We think about it all the time, the place that was so easy… [Read more…]
So, that was the madness that was National Signing Day. I will be honest with you, it’s not something I have ever really watched or being that interested in before, but as I try and fill the off-season and recruitment (with all the coaching changes) was a big mystery filled with many changes in the… [Read more…]
I will be honest, I don’t tend to follow recruiting all that highly. Its getting easier to follow the College game, but to get any high school here is not going to happen. I also have faith that Stoops and Co will do all they can to get the best ‘Potential’ players (I say potential cos… [Read more…]
Going back into time again here, but I still have not even got around to the home game I got to see. I blame this partly down to several factors, but mainly is hard to write now as we really just would love to be back there so much it always makes it hard to… [Read more…]
Well I did that many amazing things, so many out of this world things at OU, the only way to do it justice would to be a photo blog of some of the things I got to do on the tour. I have spoke about this day already, but I’ve finally got the photos loaded to… [Read more…]
This post follows on from the most epic day stories, but I have the chance to speak in more detail and now add some photos. So this was the first ever time we had been into the Stadium. I think the first spot chosen to view the stadium and the field that legends and champions are… [Read more…]
Here are a couple of cool video’s I got to record on my travels I just wantd to share. The first one was an off the cuff one just in the car on the first morning in Norman….. You guys really did not have to bring the rain to make it feel like home for… [Read more…]
Its been a couple of weeks since the visit, and I think it is finally sinking in. Before the visit, I could say I was a fan, and I loved being a Sooner but I had not been a part of it…..I had not lived it. Now, we have lived it, albeit it for a very short… [Read more…]
Before I get tied to the chair to write the 100 blogs that I need to catch up on, I just had to write this one. We have now arrived back from Miami and back at home and all we can say is, can we go back to Oklahoma now please? It really felt like Home!!!… [Read more…]
Simple title for a simple pleasure, and not my usual blog post (I promise it gets Sooner Related later on). After spending time over in the USA I can see why you don’t drink Tea more often, it’s really bad here, well the ones we tried! We had to bring our own teabags (Yorkshire Tea). However, after… [Read more…]
So I did not have time to finish this the other day, and well this was still on the Thursday and now the title seems a little redundant, as the most epic day now, was the game day, not that this day was any less epic… Just saying! So After the tour we had been… [Read more…]
