it's always a big deal when oklahoma comes to town.

we won!!!!!  the sooners won the game...in florida state's house...against the # 5 team in the nation.  that's huge!

& we got to be there to cheer & stress out & celebrate & enjoy every minute of it.

it was so much fun.

this was my first ou away game to attend, outside of ou texas {which doesn't really count since half of the stadium is a friend} & baylor {which totally doesn't count because, well, it's baylor.}  what a fantastic game to choose for my first, right?  yeah, we rock.

justin & peyton and blakey & i tailgated in tallahasse before the game at the huge chesapeake tailgate, which was awesome.  thank you chesapeake for the fabulous free food & bevs & tv watching.  much appreciated.

 

{boomer made it to the tailgate}

 {& the band stopped by to play a little boomer sooner}

we got to hang out with so many people we know!  who knew you had to go to florida to see your friends?  high school friends, college friends, birmingham friends, church friends, people i worked with, & even a random fsu fan who recognized me from urban.  it was pretty fantastic.

in front of the stadium before the game...

the 'noles were pretty darn pumped up.  they had beat ou shirts of all kinds.  tailgates every where.  & the stadium was PACKED 30 minutes prior to kick off.  the huge student section all had gold pom pons to wave & go crazy. 

but the sooners were so ready.  {ok, i admit.  i totally did not think we were going to win.  we are HORRIBLE at road games.  but the boys had faith.  smart boys,}

florida state's big pre game thing is their chief osceola that rides onto the field with a flaming spear & plants in in the center.  neat.  but it's no schooner.

so the 'noles "oooooooooooooooh, oooooooooooh" {insert chopping motion} all game long.  & we cheered & screamed & OUed & boomer soonered all night long too.

& oh my gosh, we won!  i really really hope you watched this game.  it was fantastic.  i was so mad at our defense for awhile.  & so mad at landry & heupel & everyone else too.  for awhile.  & then the 4th quarter came & those boys played their hearts out.

so i apologize to each of you, sooners.  i am now very very proud of you.

you need practice to win a national championship.  but i am still really proud of you.

since my dad always rushes out of the stadium at the end of the game, i was super excited to stay & breath in all of the win after the game.  it was awesome.

we even headed over to watch the college game day crew!

{hey, kirky!!  you are too cute.}

{& the gorgeous, erin andrews.}

{bobby, of course, made his debut.

well done, BGB.}

{the boys loved it.}

the florida state fans were super gracious hosts.  so many told us good game & welcomed us to their city.  we even made friends with a few at whataburger after the game.  {yes, clemson fan, your ripped shorts are, in fact, AWESOME. :) }

a game to remember for a lifetime.

boomer sooner.

there's only one.

love love,

kjp.
