San Antonio or bust?
When I received an e-mail nearly two weeks ago about travel packages to the Big 12, I gave the message a quick glance and tossed it in my “maybe” folder. Maybe this would warrant a travel story, but it probably wouldn’t, I thought to myself.
I admit I don’t know much about football, but from what I was hearing, I didn’t think the Sooners would be making a trip to the championship.
Shame on me. As a Norman-native and a University of Oklahoma graduate, I should have never underestimated my alma mater.
I know I’m not the only fan who was a little nervous about the Sooners’ journey to the Dr. Pepper Big 12 Championship. But our nerves are calm now, at least until the Sooners take the field Saturday to play against Missouri.
Now some fans are rushing around to make travel plans to San Antonio. Luckily I don’t need tickets or reservations for my couch.
What about you? Are you going to the game? Are you making some last minute plans?

Hi Jeff,
Went to your my space first by mistake. Have only seen one other my space, so am not an expert on them, but had fun browsing yours. My husband and I are taking my parents, son and daughter and their families to the game (a total of 14 people). We got hotel reservations about a month ago, but only got the game tickets Monday morning. Tried all the usual outlets (E-Bay, inc.) and finally found some halfway decent ones at Ticketmaster. We have 5 grandchildren 3 years of age and younger who will be staying with an aunt in the hotel room during the game, but will otherwise be with us, thus making it a wild and crazy outing!! Wish us luck….
