I know this post is slightly delayed, but the story is just too great to pass up. You all know of my absolute LOVE of Oklahoma football, so there really was no choice in the matter...I had share this story with you.
The Red River Rivalry took place this past weekend in Dallas, Texas, as it always does. A battle this old and great must always be played on neutral ground. I am soo happy to tell all of you that my beloved Sooners did not disappoint! The final score: 28-20 OU.
Yes, it's Thursday morning and I am still relishing in this great victory! But now that you have that news I will press on to the story of last Saturday...
It actually began last Friday night when Jake's brother, Luke, and his friend Grayson came to visit. Jake and I love having visitors, but sometimes it gets a little dicey around here since we all thoroughly enjoy college football...and each of us our own team. So, four different teams and last weekend two battling each other, Navy versus Air Force.
We concocted a fantastic plan. Since we only had one tv in our apartment and Navy v Air Force was beginning only one our before my beloved Sooners took on those longhorns, we decided it would be cheaper to purchase another tv on craigslist than to go somewhere that would show both games. Jake set to work on finding the best deal he possibly could.
Within about 45 minutes we found our new tv. We were all ecstatic and so very pleased with ourselves for being so thrifty. Anxiously waiting for the day of rivalries to come we went to bed.
The next morning we woke up and Jake and I went to go get the tv. It was not the most beautiful of tvs, but it would serve the purpose. We brought it home and hooked it up. A sigh of relief was heard from each of us when it worked! We synced up our new universal remote, also purchased that morning, and we were ready to go!
As kickoff approached for the Red River Rivalry, I moved into the next room with our new tv. My heart was starting to beat slightly more quickly. The announcers were talking about the upcoming rivalry game and how it was going to be a great game...and then it was game time!
My heart stopped and then started beating about a million times a minute. The channel started broadcasting another game, not my Sooners as I was expecting. I ran and got our listing of channels and started flipping through all the sports channels, but alas my Sooners were no where to be found. Then everyone in the house started looking. People were looking up schedules online, others were flipping channels on both tvs, but still the Sooners were no where to be found.
Finally, I remembered my dear friend, Melanie, had sent me a link to watch OU games online, since they are not shown on a regular basis in NC. Thankfully I only missed the first minutes of the rivalry and was delighted to see my team claim victory in 2010.
So after all of our hard work, we only used our one tv...the one we already had and the new tv sat dim and unused. And that is the story of our second tv, which is now going to be sold once again on craigslist!
