Our trip to Okie

In support of the number 8 in the nation ranked Aggie Basketball team, Matt, Dad, and I embarked on a journey to Norman, Oklahoma to watch the game. Matt and I went to Denton on Friday and met the parents at Mexican restaurant. Great food, great drinks, not so great service. But we had a great time, regardless. Matt braved the cold on Saturday morning and ran five miles, but I stayed home. We then parted from Anne and started up to Oklahoma. We drove by enormous casino's and that's about it. I have never noticed the lack of structure in that state. We stopped for lunch at Marie Calendar's (the lady who sells frozen pot pies in the freezer section) and had a big lunch. I had meatloaf, but Dad and I both liked Anne's better, and my lunch came with a HUGE slice of world famous chocolate pie. Yum! We got to the arean and were pleasantly suprised that they don't charge for parking and even more suprised when we saw how many Aggies showed up for the game. I seats were pretty great, we could see everything. The Oklahoma fans like to boo...the officials and our players...and part of the time they had good reason. We were a little nervous because the Ags were not playing their best and we were behind for a majority of the game. But, Acie Law stepped up in the last few minutes, Oklahoma fought the Law but the Law won. Along with the rest of the Ags...56 to 49. Very exciting game. Acie got boo'd harshly at the end of the game, but us along with the many other fans waited till' he was done with his interview and cheered him off the court. I think he liked it. We drove back to Denton and stopped at Rudy's barbecue which was scrumptious and then went home to bed. It was great to get to see my Dad all day and the Ags win. I wish that we could all just go to basketball games together instead of working, which by the way I should get back to. Stay tuned for a blog when we hopefully beat Texas in Austin (sorry Marcus). Let me emphasize the word HOPEFULLY.
