Oklahoma (BIG 12) 2007


College:  Oklahoma (Big 12)
Year:   2007
Games:   2007 Oklahoma 41 Missouri 31
Rating:  7 out of 10
Cost:  Moderate
Tickets:  Moderate 
Stadium:    Stadium is nice but not memorable
Description:  The game and the stadium and the overall experience fed into my stereotypes about Oklahoma:  it’s boring.  Driving through downtown Norman you never would have known there was a college there (maybe I missed something, but I expected to see tumble weeds).    Oklahoma City was as boring of a city as I’ve ever been too.  Some of it may have been the company:  the dude I went with is pretty damn boring as well.  Not a terribly expensive trip, which was good. I want to go back at some point but need to hit Oklahoma State first.
This was almost a historic win for Missouri.  They were really good in 2007 with Chase Daniel leading them and they were ahead going into the 4th but couldn't hold on.
This was the same weekend as the Patriots @ Dallas game during the 18-1 season.  This was probably the Patriots second toughest game during the regular season next to the Indianapolis game. 
Don’t Miss:   The Boomer Sooner chant and the horses towing the wagon after an Oklahoma score, talking to the dude next to you about eating bull testicles.  He recommended it, I’m not making this up.
Avoid:    Staying in OKC
