Quadruple the Suckage

ou 53, Texas 45 (4OT)

October 10, 2020 • Cotton Bowl, Dallas

This goes down as the weirdest Texas-ou ever! Because of COVID, there was no State Fair, just a drive-through experience for fair fans to get their fried food fix. As we entered the fairgrounds, we followed the path cars had traveled for that better-than-nothing version of the State Fair. 

A few vendors were set up for gameday, but I only had eyes for Fletcher’s. We got our corny dogs, posed (at a distance) with Big Tex, drank our lucky Fireball shots, and made our way into the 25 percent-occupied Cotton Bowl.

 

It was an exciting game, but missed field goals and a game-ending interception sent us home frustrated. We lost in four overtimes… but ou still sucks! 

Jake Ehlinger, Sam’s brother, got to fire Smokey during the game. Jake passed away just seven months later.

Happy Halloween!

Spelling Texas is not limited to football games. In fact, at our annual pumpkin carving party, I felt compelled to create my own “Script Texas.”

True to my obsessive self, I even kept the parts I cut out.

Our hosts think of everything. In addition to the over-the-top decorations and delectable Halloween treats, they even provided a tribute to our dearly departed Big Tex:

Happy Halloween, y’all!
