Adam and I drove with the kids to San Marcos on Friday afternoon. We spent the evening with Adam's parents. Then we woke up the next morning at 4:30am to get on the road to get to Dallas to watch the OU/TX game which started at 11:00. We were worried that it would be crazy since we were coming from the same way the UT fans would be driving. We arrived about 9:30am enough time to get into the fair and enjoy some very amusing people watching, the ESPN college game day, OU cheers and what makes OU/TX so much fun the split of the stadium.
Here is the view we had from our seats.
Our TX family that tries every way they can to be obnoxious during this weekend.
Here is my family at a bar in KC watching the OU game. The funny thing is my TX family pictured above and my family below are all in Kansas City since my cousin Annie was getting married. To give you insight on how competitive our family is, they haven't all seen each other in months but still had to watch the game at separate bars.
The picture I got after the TX game - I love it!
The OU games ended about 3:00, Adam and I quickly left the stadium to drive to Arlington to make it to the Rangers ALCS playoff game. Since the owner of the team Adam works for the Hooks is Nolan Ryan who also owns the Rangers we got some awesome VIP treatment. We were invited to a pre-party where Nolan Ryan was the first to greet us as we walked in along with Adam's bosses who are Nolan's sons Reid and Reese. We went to the game with 2 of Adam's best friends Procailo (who came in from Chicago) and Stewart (who lives in Dallas). These guys are so great and a blast to be with. Such a memorable night!
There was 2 1/2 hours of rain delays but we had tickets to the post party so we had to stick it out. Like the champs we were we finally made it back to our hotel at 2:00am. That's right we were up for 22 hours - all so fun and so worth it! We had a total blast!
