I’m so proud of the Sooners! With this being my last OU/TX weekend as a student, I desperately wanted the Sooners to win. My best friends and I typically celebrate our “fall break” with our favorite Pi Phi friends. It’s been a tradition since sophomore year and I’ve loved every year we’ve spent together in Dallas.
Half of our group drove down on Thursday and spent the night in the hotel in Dallas. We figured since it was our senior year we should go big or go home. The remainder of our group met us at Northpark on Friday. We spent the day traversing the mall with basically the rest of my sorority house! I truly believe over half of kappa was at the mall that day. I tried my best to be thrifty with my money & not purchase anything I didn’t absolutely love. I ended up with a dress from Urban Outfitters (literally can’t go in there without getting something), jeans & a top from Gap!
After leaving the mall, some of us headed over to Sprinkles Cupcakes because we had heard about their OU/TX cupcakes and could not do without. SJ and I are from Texas so we figured it was most appropriate if we got the Texas cupcake and turned the horns upside down.
After that, we sat in rush hour traffic for a bit getting back to the hotel. We all showered and freshened up before dinner. After eating dinner at this delicious Mexican restaurant, we ventured to the West End for the typical OU/TX madness!
There’s nothing like the crazy, inappropriate, obscene chaos that occurs during this weekend, but our experience truly would not be complete without it. While we were down there, Mitch captured a Longhorn flag from some fans and hid it the remainder of the night. No Texas fan was coherent enough to know what happened to the flag, so Mitch ended up with a souvenir he is pretty proud of!
At about 1:30, we had experienced enough of the madness and decided to head home! We slept much better the second night in those hotel beds than the first.
Saturday morning we all woke up extremely excited and ready for the Texas State Fair. We arrived at the fair about 3 hours before the game so we could enjoy the park before it became too crowded, although we still waited in quite a few lines! We rode the ferris wheel, ate lunch, & chatted with all the sooner friends we ran into! The game started at 2:30 this year, which made the entire day run a lot more smoothly, plus I feel like event staff was on their A-game with helping everyone out!
After our victory over Texas, the weekend was absolutely glorious & relaxing. The other highlight of the weekend was that on Sunday, Toni & I bought worker cowboy boots. We are hoping to wear them 24/7! Woo hoo! We’ll see how that goes. ;)
Blessings & Boomer Sooner,
