Short-attention-span synopsis: Stormin’ in Norman. Big D-lay. Again. (See: Tulsa). Noah emerges after rain. Baby Bucks BBQ Little Game Bob & his Swooners.
Pregame buzz: Finally a real meal after a couple of cupcakes. Everyone hungered for two iconic powerhouses clashing in an historic stadium on a campus. And … road trip!
Worth the trip?: Yes, sir, partner, even if you paid more than the $125 face-value ticket price. A 1,864-mile roundtrip included a rainbow over the stadium before the game and golden memories at the end.
One-liner: Even the Russian judge gave Noah Brown a score of 9.
