After a two year hiatus, my wife and I went back to our tradition of taking the day off work and heading back to Stillwater for the OSU Homecoming Walkaround. Most people think the Walkaround begins at 6:00, and officially, it does, but the action is during daylight.
As a result of being homecoming chair for her sorority three of her four years in Stillwater, Mrs. Matthews gets a high watching the zombies of Greek life (who have had zero sleep in 48 hours and have ingested little other than Red Bull and Budweiser in that time frame) put the finishing touches on the massive house decorations before the judges make the rounds. (As a result of having been treasurer of my fraternity for two of my four years in Stillwater, I have a different reaction...which is that I mourn the waste of money.) She critiques the color schemes, the theme selection, and the pomping skill of each house deck. Then, she gets positively giddy trying to handicap where the house dec's will place like The Sports Guy trying to guess the lines of pro football games. (This year, since both of our houses made an awful showing, we could both be entirely objective.)
Then again, OSU's homecoming a sight to behold and far superior to the production OU puts on: announcing the presence of Jason White and Brian Bosworth who are at every game, anyway.
