"Wait, what even is a buckeye?"

11 Thoughts You Had During the OU/Ohio State Game
The Oklahoman

Even though the September 17 football game was rocky for our Sooner's, it was definitely one of the most memorable. From typhoons to kickoff return touchdowns, the universe definitely kept things interesting. Here are 11 thoughts every OU fan probably had at the Oklahoma vs. Ohio State football game.

11. "Wait, what even is a buckeye?"

This picture is all of us right now. Native to Ohio (duh), a Buckeye is a tree that produces small, dark brown nuts that look similar to the common acorn or chestnut. Fun fact: they are poisonous to humans.

10. "Ty Darlington said I should be here the whole time so I'm gonna be here the whole time."

On his wordpress page, former Sooner captain Ty Darlington issued a challenge to the student section: don't just be at the game, be a part of the game. Here he is (pictured center in button down and tie) leading the student section.

9. "Please tell me it's not gonna rain..."

About two hours until kick off, massive clouds covered the area above Oklahoma Memorial Stadium. After the announcer urged students to vacate the seating area because lightning was approaching, chants of "Hell no, we won't go" rang throughout Norman, showing the newfound fan dedication.

8. "Oh great this is actually a hurricane, what now?"

A few minutes before the rain began, the game was delayed until 8:10 pm (almost two hours after the original kickoff time). Stubborn students toughed it out until the storm had finally passed about 45 minutes later. Since the stadium staff wouldn't let patrons reenter for the later start time, hundreds of people were held in the concourse area until it was all clear.

7. "Why haven't we scored yet?"

If you listen closely, I bet you can hear hearts breaking all over Oklahoma.

6. "JOE MIXON IS MY HERO!!!!!"

Finally the Sooner's are on the board in the end of the first quarter when Joe Mixon scores on a 97 yard kickoff return. It was beautiful enough to bring us to tears.

5. "He did not just hug him for a touchdown..."

I think this was absolutely a "wtf" moment for all of us.

4. "Nope this does not look good."

From interceptions to missed field goals, the first half was looking rough for the Sooners as they headed into halftime down 17-35.

3. "At least we tried."

With a heartbreaking 24-45 defeat, the rain returned later that night and this time was made up by Sooner fans' tears. The team put up a good fight and we can only hope that this doesn't lessen their spirits for future games.

2. "It's okay Baker, we still love you."

In a post-game interview, Baker Mayfield took full responsibility for the loss saying, "I let this team down. Coach Stoops can beat around the bush, but I let this team down by my performance." He then went on to say that he was going to turn things around and be the hardest working person on the field. We still love you Baker and can't wait to see how you evolve this year!

1. "Live On University"

This is just the beginning for the 2016 squad. Hopefully this bye week will bring good results for when we go to battle TCU in Fort Worth on September 30. Until then, boomer sooner and live on university!

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
