It was the day Jeremy had dreamt of since the birth of his boy - taking his son to his first OU football game experience in Norman. Since it was an evening game, Jeremy was giddy the whole day - anxious we couldn't get there fast enough. The moment soon came as he walked from under the stadium to see the field. Jeremy eyes lit up as he looked at Andrew. It was a whole new world for now he saw Sooner Magic through his son's eyes. I can only imagine the excitement of getting to share something you love so deeply (in this case OU football) with your child. And even better, your child responds just as you had imagined! Now know, AJ had been to a few Oklahoma games before. However I guess it just isn't the same since they weren't in Norman. This isn't for me to question since I am not a man with this kind of passion for something that pertains to men shoving each other to get a ball down a field.
It was a perfect game, a lot hot, but OU dominated and Andrew was able to see how exciting a touchdown, oh wait seven touchdowns in the first half, can be. And better yet, what dad can resist when his son says "Can I have a big finger?" What an impact, even three days later that finger is going in the air to bolt out OOOOOOOOOOOOO (finger up)-UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU (finger down)! Kendyll and I were there as well. And she was decked out in her OU gear, ready to cheer on her daddy's team. Even though at 13 months she had no idea what was going on. She did point to the field and yelled. Like the crowd told us - "start them early!" 
We only stayed until after halftime due to bad weather. What a memory, walki
ng out of the stadium and the sky opening up and pouring on us. We spent the next 40 minutes under a vender tent with the most awesome lightening and thunder show ever. All of us laughing and having a good time, even under the drab circumstances. Every once in a while someone would yell "Boomer" and Andrew learned quickly to yell back "Sooner!" Once we made our hike back to the car all was well in the world. AJ and Kendyll fell asleep and Jeremy and I listened to the 57 to 2 finish of the game, then talked about the finish to a wonderful Boomer Sooner day.
