We went to the Oklahoma State football game against Iowa State in Stillwater.  It was Homecoming and the campus scene was crazy. OSU has come a long long way since I was in school in the 60's.

I am so old now that when I was in school, tuition was $12.00 an hour.  There was 12,000 on campus and about 20,000 came to games. Phil Cutchon was Coach (He had been Bear Bryant's main assistant at Alabama.  The first game I saw at OSU was against Air Force Academy and ended in a 0-0 tie!

Our best offensive play was a third down quick kick!

So, sitting in a private suite in Gallagher-Iba watching the game was a change to say the least.  Having a choice of prime rib or brats or grilled asparagus, etc. is not usual game food. (WE did get popcorn and nachos later).  We could watch the network feed or the feed from the stadium video feed on monitors.  Great seats.  BUT even though the windows were opened, it was not a way to get the feel of the game. PLUS  there were too many people there who really weren't sports fans.

But a good time time had because we WON!

It was a great sports week end.  We also saw the OKC Thunder play the Phoenix Suns Friday night in Tulsa.
