Big XII Champs!

Yay Mizzou! Big XII Men's Basketball Tournament Champions! If A&M can't win, I'm glad my other team did :) I was at the game, and it was super fun. To all you negative Nancies whining about how they didn't have to play anyone difficult: they beat everyone the "good" teams lost to, so suck it!

I was at the A&M game on Wednesday, also called epic meltdown 2009. I was pissed. I wanted to write all over cars in anger. (I didn't, so no one freak out). The rest of the week was much better. The other games were fun to watch. We had an all-session pass, so we went to the OU/OSU game, which was a packed house and a really good game. That game confirmed further why I like OSU fans way better than OU fans. The OSU fans were respectful and easy to talk to, while the OU fans had an "I'm better" attitude about them, and man were they bitter a-holes when they lost. In the words of my wise good friend Ryan, "If you wear an OSU shirt, you went to college; if you wear an OU shirt, you likely have the ability to get to a Wal-Mart." Pretty accurate. The a-holeness continued on our long drive home from OKC on Saturday after the game. We were eating at On the Border (YAY! But, it wasn't very good at that particular restaurant), and these drunk jerks starting yelling Boomer Sooner at our table while we were trying to eat. I just sat there thinking "are you kidding me?" They were such trashy idiots.

Anyway, that was my sidetrack story about how much I dislike the majority of OU fans. The week was fun overall. We went to the OKC bombing memorial and museum. They did a really great job. It's a really moving tribute to everyone involved. I cried during certain parts of the museum. Especially when I looked at the stuff involving all the kids that had died or been injured. It was very sad and it made me very angry that someone would do something so atrocious. They had a blown up picture of Timothy McVeigh's mugshot, and I wanted to punch it. I'm glad he's dead, and I certainly doubt he's in heaven. We have issues if he is.

Let's see, what else. OH. During the championship game, Scott made it onto the "Dance Cam," because he was acting like an idiot. He was the first person on the big screen, and they shot him dancing for a good 20-30 seconds. Fortunately, my crimson red face was hidden behind some Baylor fan who was wearing a huge hat in the shape of a bear head. I will admit though, he was a hit.

And now, onto March Madness. A&M is playing BYU in Philly on Thursday, and Mizzou plays Cornell in Boise, ID on Friday. Scott is going with the spirit squad and band. That wouldn't be my first choice of trips. Maybe the court will be smurf blue like their football field. :)

Ok, me thinks it's bedtime. I've got a busy week of catching up on work!
