Siiiiiiiiingin'
in the Rain...
9-18-02
As predicted the Sooners rolled over the UTEP miners with little
effort. Both the Oklahoma offense and defense scored a touchdown
apiece before thunderstorms forced a game delay. The fans piled
into the tunnels of the newly re-named Gaylord Family/Memorial Stadium
to wait out the weather. The OUDL seized the opportunity to ruin
perfectly good sticks and drumheads, and played a mini-concert for
the student section. Being properly beveraged up and in the OU rain-delayed
game day spirit (wet T-shirts and all), the students cheered reps
of The Stoops Stomp, Disturbed and some of the other stand grooves.
The actual game itself was out of reach by half-time, and Hybl was
pulled in the third quarter after an impressive game. The rest of
the game became a contest to see which Freshmen would score the
next touchdown. One more point could have been added to the 68-0
score, but the coaches decided not to kick the extra point of a
last second touchdown. The official word is that it was a display
of good sportsmanship, but we all know better.
It
is common knowlege that the OUDL is well practiced in the arts of
effervescent liquid consumption. What one might not suspect is that,
when the right food is prepared, the OUDL will congregate in a feeding
frenzy around a good bowl of salsa. This was the case at the Mexi-Fest
party after the game. There was much grumbling when the 50 or so
quesadillas dissapeared, and a virtual riot ensued when the salsa
ran out. The self-dubbed winner of this Iron Chef Mexico extravaganza,
Lil'Ryan, has already been hit up to fill more salsa orders. He
says that money is fine, but he is also accepting phone numbers,
ladies.
The
OUDL has a well-deserved week off and we will most likely spend
the weekend practicing the warm-ups and rudiments that make up the
basis of good percussion. Doh...I mean, we are spending all day
Saturday on Sandy's couch (or at least in her living room) watching
football. Alums, be sure and catch us next Saturday out in front
of Carpenter Hall where the OUDL will unleash Nine-and-Swing 2002.
