Sooner Football

One of the hardest things about moving to Texas is missing OU football. We LOVE it (and that's an understatement)! We have season tickets, we tailgate, we have watch parties...we plan our Saturdays around OU football. Daniel's younger brother lives in Katy and he assures us that he has seen every OU game since 2000. "Don't worry, they are all televised". Well, the first one, on Labor Day Weekend, was pay per view and Comcast had issues with their feed so we missed that one. The second game we saw, but after 2nd quarter the local station here switched to a different game. The third game we were really excited for. It had national coverage on ESPN. What could go wrong? Well, maybe a little thing called "Ike". No power, no cable, no OU game. Bummer! This weekend, the game was scheduled to be on Fox Sports. We had a wedding reception to go to and my parents were in town. So, being the loyal fans that we are, we DVRd the game and turned off our cell phones. We decided we would watch it in "real time" after the party and we didn't want to have any score updates so we could enjoy the game. We came home, got in our comfy clothes, pressed start and watched the Astros play baseball....are you kidding me? The local station pre-empted the OU game for the Astros game. The OU gods must have it out for us. They did replay the game later that night so at least we got to see part of it, but this has been a bummer of a season for us. We are taking the kids to Waco this weekend to watch OU play Baylor....wonder if we will actually get to watch the game???
