Dear ,
Unfortunately, I will not be attending the game tomorrow. In lieu of this, I ask you to cheer for the both of us. Make no mistake about it, I will be cheering in my living room. I will have my lucky Sooners shirt on and will follow all of my pre game rituals. But, I will not be able to voice my pride and love for the Sooners in person.
Since we've never attended a game together, you'll need to know a few things that will help you perform your duties (as I would). First, on your way into the stadium, make sure that every Tech fan you cross paths with knows they are in Norman. Don't be a jerk about it, just do enough so that they feel uncomfortable, as they should.
Once you have reached your (our) seat, and are settled in, locate the nearest Tech fan. If you (we) aren't sitting close to the visitor's section, don't panic. There's always a few opposing fans sprinkled throughout the stadium. Rarely, you'll find that these individuals purchased their seat from a Sooner "fan" (I like to think that the fan that sold them their seats couldn't be there because of an emergency -like crapping themselves after a big bowl of chili at the tailgate- and had to sell their seat to the first person they saw). Sadly though, these "fans" typically end up being pokie state fans that fill the void in their sad, miserable lives by supporting whoever is playing our beloved Sooners.
After you have found said fans, see to it that you (we) make eye-contact with them. Once you have extablished eye-contact, they will surely repeat this process every time our Sooners score or have any level of success.
Now (we) you can take a minute and ready (ourselves)yourself for the game. Try to speak no louder than a whisper for about thirty minutes prior to The Pride coming on the field. Having full vocal range is imperative to the task at hand.
Don't be fooled into yelling for the Sooners when they come out for warmups. The Tech fans will try to establish their "presence" when the Raiders do so. Don't get sucked in. This is just a futile attempt to take control of the atmosphere...a losing battle for them.
Now it's go time, (we) you need to be ready. When The Pride finishes the last bar of Oklahoma[i] and moves into Boomer Sooner, unleash the beast! From that moment, through the intro video, (we) you are to yell as loud as humanly possible. Make sure the Tech players know they aren't at Kyle Field, Darrell K. Royal Stadium or Memorial Stadium in Lincoln. They need to feel the sound of 80,000 Sooner fans. They need to think, if even for a second, that their safety is in jeopardy.
(We) You need to keep this same level of noise up for the entire game. Be warned, there may be times that we get down on the scoreboard, but do not let that distract you from your task...cheering for the both of us.
Once the game is in hand, and that may be sooner than (we) you think. Don't sit back and relax. (We) You need the Raider fans and players to remember their visit to Norman. Now is time for one of the most pivotal procedures of the evening. (We) You need to locate the nearest Raider fan (you know the one, the one (we) you made eye-contact with just before the game, whom (we) you have been terrorizing throughout the four quarters of Sooner dominance), and give him/her one of those “guns up” signs. Keep (our) your head on a swivel though, he/she may make an attempted early departure.
Should (we) find (on Sunday morning) that (our) your voice is gone, then (we) you know that (we) you did (our) your job.
Good luck my friend, and don't do anything I wouldn't do.
Boomer Sooner!
