I'm boarding a plane in a few hours bound for Miami…most people would be jumping up and down and exuding giddiness about the chance to attend a BCS National Championship, but not this guy, this is strictly a business trip for me and my beloved Sooners. I'm over the hype, the glam, the Bradford/Tebow film montages, and am ready to play. I'm that guy who has spent who knows how much money and energy following OU around the country in the hopes of being part of history and all 4 times I've left with my ego shot, a holiday hang-over, and trying to be an optimist about basketball season.
This year is different, I'm not getting my hopes up, I'm going into the stadium as if it is a big conference room and we're making a presentation, we have everything we need and now its time secure the deal, if we don't, then at least the team scored me 3 days off work and a mini vacation. I'm proud of the Sooners and their accomplishments and am excited to be able to travel with them and support them.
So tonight its South Beach or bust…
