Boomer Sooner or Later.....

I was in Denver, CO last Saturday and wanted to see the Red River Rivalry (or for those not from Texas - the annual Texas/Oklahoma football game).  My RV did not have cable access to the game, so I looked on the Internet for a sports bar/restaurant that might be showing the game. 

To my surprise, I found the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the "Texas Exes" were meeting at the Govnr's Tavern for a big TX/OU game party.  We were invited to join them at 9 AM for brunch and to watch the game.  We arrived early before an overflow crowd, all dressed in burnt orange and singing the UT fight song.

Although Texas got beat up by OU (which was expected since Texas was largely a freshman team going against the previously No. 1 ranked team in the country), the atmosphere was great and it was nice to meet so many Texans in Denver.  The only good thing about the game was the Longhorns have a good memory for this type of defeat.  The Sooners kept their first string players in the game and ran up the score.  Three years from now, if Oklahoma is still playing in the Big 12, the Longhorns will certainly get their revenge.

Next time you are in Denver, CO in October, look up this fantastic group of alumni.
