The University usually hosts the Varsity Club tailgate in the field house, but it was in a tent right by the stadium for the OU vs. Tennessee game, so we got to enjoy more of the beautiful day. We ate (and drank) and then walked over to watch the Pride marching band parade over to the stadium.
It was fun seeing Gray take it all in. He especially loved the band and, to my great joy, particularly loved the symbols and drumline. We didn't have tickets to the game so after watching the band perform, we headed over to our friends' house in time for kickoff. While walking back to our car, Gray got a thrill out of yelling "BOOMER" and having strangers respond back with "SOONER" as we walked around the campus.
There are so many more wonderful traditions I'm looking forward to teaching our son. Next time we need to get tickets to a game with an earlier kickoff time and have him fully experience Sooner Magic.
Decked out to do some tailgating!

Pappa and his buddy Gary had tickets to the game and were ready to cheer on the Sooners
