So I went with the express purpose of taking notes on the BYU fans in attendance. I wanted to discover if they are really the bunch of hand-wringing nancies they appear to be on CB. I set out to find the Cougar fan about town, and discovered that I was that fan. Here's my first few scribblings:
9:03: I'm late to practice because two fans are doing push ups in the parking lot to determine which of them is the one "mighty and strong."
9:06: I park next to a snow plow and walk next to a man with a Department of Homeland Security hat. I consider that the Sooners might have some serious connections.
9:14: Male fan three rows up from me keeps yelling, "Hall is zeroing in on McKay! He's zeroing in on McKay!" I wonder whether I should tell him that Gaskins is on the field throwing to Covey.
9:20 Two fans next to me are discussing the possibilities of Chadders getting a concession at LES.
9:22: An assistant coach uses a potty mouth word. A female fan shouts "Not at The Lord's School!"
9:22: A male fan shouts at the vociferous female fan to stop wearing her strap across her chest.
9:28: Payne's field goal attempt goes wide right, out into the parking lot, and into the face of a BYU parking officer as he argues with a pregnant woman over the boot on her car.
9:30: I miss Brett Denny's whistle sack on Hall because a guy is passing out sheets of statistics to everyone.
9:36: Manase Tonga comes to the stands to sign autographs.
9:38: I notice Patrick Kinahan all decked out in red.
9:43: Lavell Edwards is on the sideline. He looks propped up like a scene in "Weekend at Bernies."
9:48: Malosi Te'o fumbles after a three yard run. The guy in the Department of Homeland Security hat is certain "We're going 4-8!"
9:51: Payne's field goal attempt hooks onto University Avenue, and into the windshield of a green Toyota Land Cruiser.
9:52: Write note to self about Payne and the plot of Dr. No.
9:57: One of the Chadders fans looks asleep.
10:00: Bronco whistles a would-be Jorgensen sack, and tells Jan to pray about how close he came to hitting Hall.
10:04: I head to the Hogi Yogi.
More soon.
