Hi my friends!
Today I got to do something really awesome! I was invitied by friends to head to Norman to attend the OU women's basketball game against Texas A&M. I hadn't been able to go to a game in quite a while so I jumped at the opportunity.
I got a chance to cover a few of the OU women's games when I worked at the Ada Evening News, and sat on press row....It was a little different as a fan and being able to cheer.
We sat in the upper deck and had really good seats. Since it was a White Out day, we each got white T-Shirts to wear. They were kickin. It was a really cool sight to see how all of the OU fans were supporting their team.
The game was a battle between Top 10 teams, as OU is #3 and Texas A&M is #8. OU had a double figures lead most of the contest, but in the last 10 minutes Texas A&M made a run and made OU sweat it out before the Sooners wrapped up a 71-59 win.
I will always remember when the public address announcer said if the OU women made at least six 3-pointers in the game, all fans would get a coupon for free chicken wings at Raisin Caine's resturant! I told my friend Rachel when they had five, we should start a "Let's go chicken wings" cheer but she set me straight! :) By the way, they did hit at least six shots from behind the 3-point line.
Overall it was an amazing experience and it was such a great time. As today's theme stated we Cheered Like A Champion! Boomer Sooner!
