OU Visitor Sections (2K in lower NW corner with the band and 3K across the top of the upper East)




Actual Orange hoard that attended (including BDV, Bandit and myself)
(I estimate we had 6-7K in the Upper East, 4-5K in Lower East (The East upper was at least 80% Orange)
3-4K in North endzone
3-4K in West
3-4K in South (rebuilt and much better than when we went in 2015(
I've seen estimates of upwards 20K VOL fans there Saturday night

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.

we were in the upper right of the photo, next to the OU student section.  Row 65 upper level, definitely nosebleeds but still a pretty good view.  My best friend from college lives in Dallas so me and his nephew, who is a recent UT Aerospace Eng grad living in Huntsville, drove over on Wednesday.  We hit the Dallas Book Store Depository Museum on Thursday and the Ft. Worth Stockyards on Friday, drove up to the game on Saturday in two cars.  Me and my buddy's nephew drove over to Ft Smith Ark after the game, about a 3 hour drive, then came home yesterday. My buddy and his brother who flew in from Oregon drove back to Dallas after the game.  The nephew of my friend is from Chatt, so he was with me and two of his uncles. 

We had a great time!  The only annoyance, other than the seemingly endless commercials and promotions OU apparently likes to do (at a very high volume!), was that my best bud had a few two many and kept elbowing me on practically every play, lol.  Overall a great experience, particularly with the W!

Looking forward to watching the replay.  Have not yet had time to do that.

On the other hand, the Vols equipment truck had a travel problem.

Yep!  We were afraid that would slow us down.  We also passed the band and a couple of other busses (cheerleaders, charter, ?) around 1 am, and they were being escorted by Blount County (the county Murville is in) sherriff's deputies.    We sped back up after realizing they were from Tennessee
