Folks, the long, hot summer has concluded, and football season has finally arrived. Well, the latter part is true. The first part is utter nonsense. It’s predicted to be 97 degrees on Saturday. Having said that, it’s a 10-degree improvement over last week, so we’ll take it.
This weekend also renews another time-honored tradition for the Oklahoma Sooners — the 11 a.m. home kickoff. Get to Norman early. Bring the necessary ingredients for mimosas, Bloody Marys and Micheladas. Maybe bring one of those trendy Blackstone griddles to the tailgate. Make some pancakes. Perhaps even invite some local bloggers to this tailgate.
