Things I learned from the game:
1. Jordan Shipley exists
2. Colt McCoy will win the heisman.
3. Jamaal Charles is no Ogbanaya.
4. Bob Stoops is no Mack Brown.
5. Stoops is poops (although I kind of already knew this).
6. The Oklahoma punter deserves a daytime Emmy award.
Stephanie and I traveled to London to watch the Texas-OU game on Saturday with the Texas Exes. Since the game started at 5 PM over here, we spent the early afternoon at the British History Museum shown below.

The most intelligent exchange of ideas occured while we were in the ancient Egypt section. It went something like this.
Russell: They sure carved a lot of crap.
Stephanie: Yeah. They didn't have television.

Anywho, from there, we walked along the Thames River to the BBQ place by the Tower of London where the game was being shown. We arrived at 4 PM and it was packed already (about 100 people). We managed to find a good seat, met some nice people and cheered the Longhorns to victory. It was a fun environment to watch the game in. You could tell that everyone missed football and BBQ. We met one guy that traveled from Amsterdam just to watch the game. The only things that could of made the day better would have been to see a crying Oklahoma child in the stands and a corny dog, but I guess we can't have everything. The video below is us singing the Eyes of Texas after the game. Hook Em!
