So I've got 4 extra tickets to the OU game.

Section 128. 8th row.

Make me an offer.

 

Endless reps and beers (I have no idea how much tix are going for).

 

Oh man. That sounds way out of my range. I want to be at the game, but where I sit isn't as important.

 

According to the hub of stubs, these are about 200 a pop.

Probably too rich for CF blood.

Minus bigtexxx of course.

Maybe he wants to come root for OU?

 

aaaaaaand they're gone.

 

I love the gesture.

Spoiler

 

I actually passed up free tickets to this one. But thanks

 

This game isnt in 3rd Ward so you wont feel scared.

 

Damn I had sent you an email a month ago asking if you had any leads on extra tickets

Oh well probably too rich for my blood too. Doing the double dip with the UT game the next day so I didn't want to fork out over a hundo a ticket.

Great article by Bleacher Report. Can't wait to start early Saturday!

 

That's the nice way of saying "girls were asked not to leave their rooms."

 

24 hours from now. All they will be talking about is how much of a beast Ed is.

He is incredible. I focused on him for several plays..
1) shoved down a guy that's probably about 350 down like he was a plush toy
2) lifted a guy that's again, about 350 towards mayfield along for the ride.
3) ran from one side of the field to the other to sack mayfield

I can't wait to see him in the middle of the season...your first game since high school you play a big school like OU and you're dominating these big fellas?

 

In his first college game, he had 5 solo tackles, including 2 sacks against a major program.

How often does a DT do that, ever?

 

OU was forced to send double teams his way. That's ridiculous. Oliver is the real deal.

 

And how does this 18 year old who just ascended to national prominence handle all the hype?

We are watching a Legend in the making.
