I am not looking for sympathy or anything like that just so you know. I am very thankful for all of the kind words every sent me in my time of need. Since my mother passed away in April there have been a lot of firsts. Ther was the first baseball game my mother was not at...the first holiday we had with out her. My birthday was the first in my family without her. There will be many many firsts this year.
My mother always made away game days amazing. I remember last year someone posted a game day menu thread and I posted all of things my mom would put together for me(because I am the biggest sooner fan in my fam) the rest of the fam and my buddies. She made nachos like it was some kind of mosaic art piece! One time she and my sister put together a bedlam party package when I got to the house on the living room table was a cake that was divided in half a bucket of beer and every kind of pop you can think of! She made every away game amazing like it was a holiday every Saturday.
This first year I got a parking pass for the TG I did not have the money to get one but she made sure I got it. That is the way she was for all of her children. She made sure that we always had the newest and best of anything we wanted. I don't know what the hell I am going to do this year for away games. The last couple of years I have spent a few games with my buddies at their homes and now that I look back on it, I feel terrible. I know it took some stress off of her and she was able to do more things with my dad but she loved to make football days awesome for me. I miss her more than anything and it is almost like I am lost without her! I want the season to come but I am not looking forward to that first away game when there's no nachos or any beers but mainly there will be no my mom! Sorry to be such a downer but it is tough when really have no one to talk to about this.
On a happier note! Last year I made a thread about sitting in the student section all those rules still apply! CHEER LOUD, STEP ON YOUR OWN SEAT NOT ON THE ONE IN FRONT OF YOU, GET DRUNK, IF YOU ARE A GIRL DRESS SLUTTY, DON'T DO THE WAIVING WHEAT and DON'T BE A NOT STRAIT PERSON!
As for my outlook on this season! This is another year to make a good run. I think we have a LSU type set up but with a better offense! If the O does its job then we will ride the D-line to a NC game and hopfully the Crystal Ball! LSU did it and we can do it! We have the best d-line in the country and I think that will be the the key to our success! We have awesome depth and they will pressure QB's enough to make sure we have the edge in any gun battles we get into. This schedule is awesome and it is going to be exciting to watch, win or lose.
I know I have been a dummy in the passed and I am sorry. I know I would not want my players or the fans of any team I coach to say the things I have said in he passed. I will try to be a better representative of the Sooner Nation! Thanks again and this is going to be a great season!
