CCG roll call: Oklahoma vs Baylor?
- Thread starter Plainosooner
- Start date
My girlfriend and I are in 304 row 3. We also were at the first OU - Baylor game this year in Waco. This will be warmer.
No watching it here from OP. Wish some day it would come back to Arrowhead, but won’t hold my breath waiting...
Going with my sister-in-law. Wifey doesn't want to go and is going to watch the game from her other sister's house. Section C208, row 4. Be sure to look for me at the game or on TV. I'll be the handsome guy wearing the OU hat. 
I would love to see it in Arrowhead again. No way I can make it to Dallas with my work schedule, but I could have made it to KC.
After being at Arrowhead in the weather in 2003, it's great playing indoors in December.
I waited on you for a decade, but you never made a move. So l finally found a local lady.SO! Guess that means your Relationship is heating up?
She was never a Sooner fan. I figured it would take five years to convert her. But after Waco, likely less than two.

For those not liking Dallas, l don't expect Arrowhead again any time soon. When Nebraska and Mizzou departed, that made even less sense. Since the return of the XII CCG, the six participants have all been from Oklahoma or Texas. And as much as l dislike Jerrah, his stadium gives a credibility to the conference that is hard to find elsewhere.
It makes little sense for any of the six schools in Ok or Tx to travel to play in frigid temps on KC, when Arlington is available. Dallas is likely better for WVU as well.
So since the men's basketball CCT is permanently in KC, apparently, DFW is the logical place for football. Maybe if ISU, KSU or (giggling) KU finishes in the top two, something can be reconsidered. The other P5's have a set location.
I have no problem with the game being in Dallas, other than the fact that I will more than likely never be able to attend. I have to supervise the crowd at a high school basketball game on Friday night. If the game was in Kansas City, I could just make the 5 hour drive down to Kansas City on Saturday morning. Kansas City is more convenient for this Sooner fan living in Nebraska, but Dallas is more convenient for the majority of fans.
I would have joined you there RB. I am just 20 mins from Arrowhead.
after going to that 03 disaster and having to be unstuck from my frozen metal death chair i wont miss a winter game at arrowhead at all
It’s part of the Arrowhead “experience”. But yes that game was a frozen disaster. Plain ugly domination by the Wildcats.
Two-Shay!
Here's a 'Line' that might help move that along...I told husband #3 that he needed to slow his roll...He said 'Hell, Honey...We're Double-Parked'! He was right about that...The only time he ever was about Anything!
Winter weather in Dallas this time of year is like a one in a hundred year event.
I attended our first game in Waco sitting on the next to last row in the stadium.
It was not cold by November football standards.
If you were cold you did not have the right clothes on.
I only very rarely wear my coldest cold weather gear to OU games.
Some of it it rated for true arctic conditions.
A ski shop or Cables are great places to buy high quality cold weather gear that can keep you at any football game.

I took my far south Texas raised wife to this game....
She still talks about the tailgate fires the KSU fans had going in 55 gallon barriols.
I have seen a few of these at OU many years ago.
But Norman has outlawed open fires for anything that is not for cooking food
We're going. Second level in the corner of the endzone.
Not sure about Sec/Row/Seat.
We're driving up Friday afternoon.
Watching the P12 CCG in a bar somewhere Friday night.
To the B12 CCG Saturday morning and home to Houston Saturday afternoon.

And, we were at the Arrowhead "frozen" game, too.
We actually ended up with pretty good seats in the end zone. Had a deck over us and sort of tucked in to one end zone.
As soon as Darren Sproles started embarrassing our defense, we hit the beer stands pretty heavy.

There have been two Arrowhead frozen games I've attended, and the only CCG I've missed against the Huskers was a frozen game in Arrowhead, too. The two against KState were 2000 and 2003 Both were cold-in-four-layers cold. And both games, a drunk KState student sitting behind me spilled his beer on me.
Somehow, I was more uncomfortable when we were on the way to losing 35-7, with OUr AA OTackle and OUr quarterback suffering injuries that affected their performance in the NC game. I was miserable driving home from the 2003 CCG. The opposite in 2000, which at least in my seat, was colder.

I was there in ‘03, & ‘08 (I believe was the year DeMarco was hurt on the opening kick return) . Sam busted a lot of records & “Booger’s” heart. I was colder that game than ‘03 as I had plenty of Antifreeze for that miserable night. I was there when we destroyed CO in between on a fairly mild evening I believe
The Colorado game in Arrowhead was a beautiful night. Of course living in northeast Nebraska when it gets to December anything over 20 degrees at night is a nice night. When OU played Nebraska in 2006, we stood the entire game. Our seats were in the upper deck in the endzone. There was quite a bit of snow and ice in our area that you didn't want to sit down because you were going to be sitting on ice. I didn't think it was that bad that night against Nebraska, but I was dressed properly for the game. Some friends of mine that were there who were rooting for Nebraska thought it was the coldest game they had ever attended.
I was in Anchorage for 2000. Carried on all of my baggage, left my colleagues in Baggage Claim, caught a cab to my hotel and ran in to the bar (without checking in) just in time for opening kickoff. Checked in the hotel at half time and back to the bar for the second half.
I believe I remember it being colder in KC that night than Anchorage.
My ex and I were sitting almost directly on the 50, but ten rows from the top of the upper deck. The coldest I've ever been at a football game was a semifinal in west Texas my junior year at Plano. But that night in 2000 in KC was close.
