I love college football. And growing up, I was encouraged strongly expected to love all things Oklahoma State. My dad graduated there long ago and practically everyone on the Boone side of the family did, too. So my dad — and, really, our whole family — have always had that in common. It’s been a shared joy, mostly, but admittedly it has also been a common topic on which we could commiserate over the years.
We’ve shared that together with unforgettable (both good and bad!) experiences across sports. We were there for 2013 Bedlam football, for instance. And we watched baseball together in Bricktown on several occasions, including once where we dragged my father in law — a KU fan — to join us.
