Famous Last Words: Week 2

Once again, my “Famous Last Words” post is all about hectic and busy life outside of school. This weekend was no different. I spent all day Friday running errands in Oklahoma City. I like to think it was productive, but in reality, I just spent way too much money.

Saturday morning came excessively quick. While most of the University of Oklahoma students and fans were setting up their tailgates, I was setting up the stadium. As an intern for the University of Oklahoma Athletics Marketing department, we are responsible for well, everything. (Okay, okay, not everything, but A LOT!)

I had to be at the stadium and ready to work 4 hours prior to kick off. Anything that you see before the game when it comes to videos, announcements, on field recognitions (basically everything excluding actual football), goes through us in the Athletics Marketing. We have to be sure everything happens at a certain time and is finished at a certain time. We are the ones who make sure there are no hiccups in the game events.

It was my first game to work, so it was very overwhelming to say the least. I left the game that night shortly after the time ran out and I think it was the most exhausted I had ever felt!

I am glad my first game is out of the way though, because I am super excited for our game against Tulsa now! Well, excited for everything except the fact I have to be there at 6:00AM! That will be difficult but worth it in the end.

The most enjoyable part of the game was being so close to the action! In my four years of being a student in the stands, I never would have imagined I would get to be on the field, level with the players, watching the game! Thankfully, that dream has become a reality for my final semester of school.

Boomer Sooner everyone! See you from the sidelines at the Tulsa game!
