Fast Start, Frustrating Finish

ou 55, Texas 48

October 9, 2021 • Cotton Bowl, Dallas

We hoped to capitalize on Brett’s lucky-charm status after that big win over TCU, and at first, it seemed to be working! Brett’s first Texas-ou game started with a bang, our Horns getting a quick 14-0 lead. Our guys even held a 38-20 lead at the half. Too bad we had to play that second half! ou took the lead in the fourth quarter, and even though we tied it up again late, the sooners scored even later, with 3 seconds left in the game. 

But guess what? ou still sucks. And Brett now knows firsthand why the Red River Rivalry game is so special!

 

A few weeks before this game, Ryan had texted me a photo of one of the fair’s winning art pieces. It looked a little familiar!

This was a child’s creation, and I’m flattered if my “mustard art,” like the 2008 pic below, inspired her!

Fun with Frogs

Texas 32, TCU 27

October 2, 2021 • Fort Worth

Finally, finally, finally my Horns were able to beat the Frogs in Fort Worth. Apparently, Brett was my lucky charm! Even though he supports my football fandom, to that point he had attended very few games with me. Since my usual companions were otherwise occupied that Saturday, he agreed to come with. And whadyaknow, we WON for the first time in a while!

P.S. – I did attempt to cook those frog legs, btw, but they were NASTY with a capital N! Several years prior when I had breaded and baked the frog legs, they were pretty darn tasty, but not this time around. Yuck! Good thing that W tasted great!
