Saturday, November 18, 2023 dawned early for me. In fairness, it dawned early for everyone in Provo, because that’s what a 10:00 am local time kickoff does to a person. It took a little time to rouse Elizabeth from bed because she was still so worn out from my birthday the day before. Our AirBNB …

Counting Down My Undergrad OU Games: 24-21 – Close Calls
There’s something about a close college football game that just is unmatched by any other sport.

Counting down my undergrad OU football games: 48-40 – The Ones I Missed
A football season can last a long time. 12 regular-season games, a conference title, a bowl game, and just one or two bye weeks… unless you’re willing to trade every Saturday of your fall, you’re going to miss a few games.
