Football Season Begins!

Since today was OU's first football game of the season, I thought I would focus my blog post on some of my experiences attending these games in college. Waiting in long lines to get in the front row my freshman year, going with friends and yelling and cheering for our school's team, having watch parties for away games, attending OU-TX two years in a row (the first year we got seats on the front row, 30-yard line, while the second year we got the last row at the very top of the stadium). I have so many fun memories from attending these games. Fortunately, as a student, I was able to acquire season tickets every year and attend just about every home game—I think I only missed one or two home games over the four years I was there.

I wanted to post some pictures of my friends and me at some of these games, but I'm afraid I could upload and upload and upload more and more and more photos. I have so many pictures. So instead, I decided to focus on one particular theme—my killer painting skills for the games!

My freshman year of college, I attended these games with two of my friends who I went to high school with. They also attended the University of Oklahoma so we tended to stick together until we started making more friends and getting adjusted to life at school. I enjoyed getting to go to the games with these guys. They were adamant about sitting on the front row so we would show up at the stadium hours and hours before they let people in. We had a great time, and we got on the Jumbo Tron more times than I can count, probably because of my artistic talents as a painter! :)

As you can tell, I have some serious artistic talent right there! :) I was pretty proud of my work. As the years in school followed, I started getting close to some more friends I had met through the Baptist Student Union, so I started going to the games with them. By doing so, I could do other things with my day before the game and show up when they started letting people in. We didn't get front-row seats, but our seats were still pretty great and we still had a blast at the game. I would still go visit Nick and Corbin on the front row though—yep, they were still there. However, even though I was with another crowd, I was still able to show off some of my painting abilities.

Oh, the college years! Loved every minute of it. :) BOOMER SOONER!
