So the update for this week is ALL about the high school football game in Abilene. Okay, I know I have said it before but really high school football here is out of control. We went back to Abilene for the big cross town rivalry. It is Abilene Cooper vs. Abilene High. This goes WAY back, I mean the fans are die hard fans. I have never experienced this type of passion for high school football before. I hadn't heard the word HATE against another team that much ever. This goes beyond anything you could imagine - OSU vs OU; OU vs Texas; all of those kind of rivalries. I sat with my mother-in-law on the Cooper side and unfortunately 3 rows in front of us there was an Abilene High fan. I have grown up around OU fans so I know obnoxious, this guy was BEYOND THAT!!! I tend to get a little passionate at sporting events, I openly admit that. This guy was just trying to get on my nerves. I held it in as long as I could. So after Abilene High scored he turned around and started flapping his arms (they are the eagles) I told him that if he was a true fan then he would have set on his team's side and he needed to be respectful of all of those people around him. Let me repeat again, I was sitting next to my sweet/kind mother-in law. As soon as I got done, I looked over expecting to have her looking at me completely mortified but actually she was like "Yeah you tell him!". She never ceases to amaze me. Sad day for Cooper because they were ahead and then Abilene High marched down the field and in the last 2 seconds of the game scored. It was a hard fought game, the Cooper players have to happy with how they played. That is for sure! They will come back next year and win it! : ) GO COUGARS!!!
Then we watched the Tech/OU game at Buffalo Wild Wings. Talk about another tough loss! I just want to make sure that OSU beats Tech in November (It doesn't look like that will be too hard). : )
I hope everyone is getting into football season with this beautiful fall weather!!
Love!
