Ice Bowl - Take 2

❄️Bedlam is approaching. So is ice, sleet and snow. I'm reminded that in 1985 Oklahoma was in a similar position. Lori and I headed back to Stillwater for the Bedlam game and a freak ice storm approached, including thunder and lightning. Yet, we went to the game anyway. 

By halftime, the windchill was -4. It was miserable. I vividly remember the shoes I was wearing. They were termed 'duck shoes' and were meant for rain. Not freezing rain. My feet were numb. But, being the non-quitter that I am...I stayed. We hung in there til the bitter end. The Sooners beat our COWBOYS 13-0. 

They looked almost exactly like this! I think I may be making this purchase again. Yes, they are still sold.

Fast forward 28 years and here we are again.  But this time, it's my son who will be facing the OU/OSU game in the potentially single digit windchills, ice and snow! Lori's daughter, a soon to be OSU Cowboy, will also be attending. I never dreamed another generation would repeat this event! I think the outcome will be much different but I love that the memories remain and are somewhat duplicated! One fun fact Gundy was a player when I was at OSU but now he is coach!

GO POKES!!
