As most of you know, I'm a big OU (University of Oklahoma) fan. . .shoot. . .I graduated there in 2001. I am also a HUGE football fan, therefore the PERFECT scenario would be to watch OU football. My dad called and wanted me to attend the OU/K State game with him on Saturday night. It's the first night game of the season. Although I'm still having incision issues, I JUMPED at the chance to go, not only for my love of the Sooners but also for my sanity! ;)
Dad drives 100 mph to get there and we make our way into the stadium. As we are heading to our seats, my dad literally, and I mean LITERALLY, brushes by a very small man whom smiled as I made eye contact with him and we smile and nod out of courtesy. . .until we both look at each other in shock. Was it?? Could it be?? But why would HE be here?? In Norman, OK. And if it was him, man he's small, and isn't he supposed to race in Talledega tomorrow?. . .and I still HATE HIM!!! And did I say he was small?????
That shocker took me a LONG time to recover from. I even called Bubba at home and told him to be on the look out to see if the news covered his attendance, but they didn't!
The second thing that made this game unforgettable was a big bang that we heard behind us during the second quarter. I knew something was wrong, but had no clue. A man killed himself by detonating a pipe bomb. You can read about it here. That also shocked me and shook me up pretty good once we found out what had happened. We would have never known had my mom not called my dad and told him we were in lockdown. Thank God for cell phones eh?
So as you can "see," a game that was to be non eventful and fun, turned into a celebrity seeing, "explosive" and also Wildcat butt whipping game. Never a dull moment. And hey, BOOMER SOONER!
