OU Club of Colorado - OU vs Oklahoma State Newsletter
It's Bedlam Week, and time to hate on Little Brother
# 14 Oklahoma travels to Stillwater, OK to take on the #10 ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys, aka the Choke Pokes. OSU has the #2 offense in the country heading into this one lead my talent everywhere that they get into their plays. Of course they think this is their year. You would think with 80-15-7 & 7 in a row for the Sooners, they would learn, that this isn't their year.
This is one of the biggest Bedlam football games in years! The winner of this game will be the winner of the Big 12 South and head to Cowboy Stadium in Arlington, TX for the Big 12 Championship Game, where a BCS bowl trip is on the line. Come join us at Stoney's this Saturday at 6:00 pm Mountain Time, for this rivalry game which features 2 teams in the top 15. If you have family or friends in town please invite them along, they are always welcomed, even if they like the wrong school. (or you can drop them off at the Fainting Goat, which is 2 blocks away on Broadway and home of the Colorado Cowboys)
Because it's Bedlam Week: Did you hear that the Oklahoma State library had to close down this year? Somebody stole the book. That's not all... when it was returned it was all colored in.
So come on out to Stoney's Bar and Grill for $3 Sooner Magic Shot Specials, $3 Big Shiner Beers, and Fresh Fried Okra and $6 chicken fried steak sliders.
If you are in Colorado Springs, don't forget to join our sister group, the OU Club of Southern Colorado at Buffalo Wild Wings North in the Springs. They have had a great turn out every week, and growing stronger each week. They are also VERY kid and family friendly.
Pictured: Austin Box looks like he will be healthy and has practiced this week after getting hit hard and leaving the Baylor game and he's ready to anchor the center of the OU defense this Saturday for the Sooners.
Future Watch Parties and Events:
We have gotten several inquires about what happens to the OU Club of Colorado once Football season ends. Well, one thing that many won't see, is we are actively helping the
University of Oklahoma
out in recruiting high school kids from the area to attend
OU
as well as working on recognizing and selecting deserving students for scholarships.
But that's not really what people want to know. They want to know if we'll be getting together on a regular basis, or even just every once in awhile. The simple answer to that right now is YES of course. The more difficult answer is to the follow up question, "Oh, yeah, like what?"
Last year we had 3 basketball watch parties, and they weren't exactly a huge success. We might do some this year, but our Men's team stinks on ice, errr.is going through a rebuilding phase. The Women's team looks to be one of the tops in the country yet again, but many of their games are on Sundays. I think we'll do a few basketball watch parties, for like OSU or Texas games. Hey it's still OU sports and a reason to get out and meet up with your fellow Sooners.
The good news is we will be doing more special events this next year. With a new social chairperson to plan and coordinate, we will do at least a couple things this next year and hopefully more. We won't be going completely black for 8 months! We are thinking of events like a Wine Tasting night (even have a person wanting to give us a private label of wine), or a day outing to a museum or to the zoo, or a day of casual sports in the park. Of course we'll let you all know when we have those!
If you have an interest, and want us to do something, or have a suggestion, feel free to let us know. If you are the Mumbly-pegs champion of the Rockies and think a "Beginning day of Mumbly-peg" would be fun for a group let us know! If you want to lead something please let us know as well. If you run something like a fly fishing guide, or a rafting guide, or a kid's art shop for example and think it's something the OU Club of Colorado could do as an event, we want do know that! Contact our Social Chairperson: Kristin Bieberly at mailto: kristin.bieberly@ef.com if you have any ideas or suggestions.
Mile High Bowl Association Holiday Party
The Mile High Bowl Association's annual Holiday Party is December 4th at 6 pm to Midnight. It will be at Blake Street Tavern this year located at 2301 Blake Street in Denver. This is the same night as the Big 12 Championship game, which they will have on. You can get a ticket for only $20 a person at their website: click on the PDF for the application. The OU Club of Colorado will be a sponsor again this year, and we'll have a few tickets to give away at upcoming watch parties. Fill free to join them for this fun event.
Up Coming Watch Parties:
Saturday, November 27th, 2010 6:00 pm Mountain
#14 Oklahoma Sooners AT #10 Oklahoma State Cowboys Bedlam Game Watch Party
This is for a trip to the Big 12 Championship game in Arlington, TX. ESPN College Game Day will be in Stillwater for this big game. This will mark the 25th time ESPN GameDay has been on hand for an OU game. Only Florida (32) and Ohio State (28) have been part of a GameDay site more times than the Sooners.
Saturday, December 4th, 2010 6:00 pm Mountain
University of Oklahoma
VS Nebraska Cornhuskers - Big XII Championship Game Watch Party
We WILL BE HERE! I just wanted you know when it was, like maybe you were living under a rock or something. If OU wins out we'll get to play Nebraska (assuming they beat Colorado this week) with a BCS Bowl trip on the line, just like it should be, as we say good bye to an old friend. We will invoke the ghosts of Billy Sims and Keith Jackson and days of Sooner Magic from the past in the last game of this big rivalry. It seems like we should bring oranges to throw on the field, like the old days.
Personally, I'll hate to see those guys go. I always thought this was one of the best and unique rivalries in all of sports. It wasn't hate like OU-Texas, it's not intra-state rivalry that most schools had.this was one built on mutual respect. To be the best you have to beat the best, and for many, many moons, that meant for these 2 schools beating the other. And when it was all over, unlike many rivalries, we could be proud of the other guy. We knew they made us better and vice-versa.
A rivalry based on mutual respect.something I fear we'll never see again.
BOWL GAME WATCH PARTY Oklahoma Sooners vs UCONN
OU will be going to a Bowl Game this year, unlike a certain football team in Austin, TX who barring a miracle will be sitting at home this holiday season. Where will OU end up? That's anyone's guess, as there too many key football games this weekend. If OU wins their next 2 games, they will be heading to the Fiesta Bowl on January 1st, as Big 12 Champions and most likely play the winner of the Big East which will be either Pitt or West Virginia.
Lose and they can end up at either the Alamo Bowl against Arizona, or more likely the Insight Copper Bowl against either Michigan or Penn St.
I wrote a full article on OU's current bowl picture this week, and you can read it all here: Crimson and Cream Machine. Colorado will be pulling out all stops for whatever game we are in, with a silent auction with several really neat items and an all you can eat Taco Bar. If it's New Year's Day and the Fiesta Bowl, we will have Blacked Eyed Peas for your New Year's Good Luck!
