Could you elaborate more on the Oklahoma arrogance?

Oh my gosh. It was awful, at least from a fan standpoint - which I assume was just an extension of the player arrogance that David is referring to. It was like being at Willy-Brice, post-game, in 2011 and 2013 but without all the rednecks (yes, those 2 years just about convinced me to never attend another game in Columbia). Sooner finds are kind of like a cross between Notre Dame and Carolina. Arrogance from history and then telling you all about it. I can't tell you the number of fans who spoke to us Clemson fans pre-game and wanted to make certain we understood that it was THIS year and not LAST year. I heard all kinds of excuses for last year. Quite different than the Natty where I thought Alabama fans, despite being roundly despised just because they are from the SEC, were very different and actually friendly. Pre-game, we talked football, not who was going to win. The OK fans shoved it in your face. But, the Alabama fans kind of smiled and wondered if we understood that they were ALABAMA, but they were nice about it. Of course, after the NC game, the Alabama fans had nothing but relief and compliments for us. They knew that game should have been ours and they were one crazy onside kick (or maybe one less blown coverage) away from being #2 instead of #1. I hope we get the Sooners again in the Nat Semifinal - we can start a new rivalry with them because the in-state "rivalry" with the chickens isn't likely to get back un-lopsided anytime soon.

I remember standing outside the gate waiting for 2:30 till the gate opened, buying our plane tickets and hotel to Vegas for the natty..... 2 brothers in their mid 50's came up to my wife and myself as she was listening to our band play in the fanzone and they were asking me about the tombstones and what they represented... I told them in a very nice way what they stood for and his response made me chuckle.. the oldest brother who's son was a trainer for OU said "If we put up a tombstone for every top 25 win on the road, we'd have enough to cover your campus!" then went on to tell me that Dabo was immature for his cheerleader tyrades, needed to get some class and it will come with time, BIG Game Bob was a class act, Shaq was a thug for getting on their bus starting trouble and our 1 championship is nothing to their (17)!! and make sure we go to St. Augustine on the way back home... its historic and beautiful. lol .... I was busy trying to buy national championship arrangements as tickets were steady climbing for airfare and hotels, i didn't say one word out of the way... only thing i said after he said all that is simply " we sure would like to have (7) championships under our belt, hopefully we'll get number 2 this year. and said "enjoy the game and hope everyone comes out healthy Go Tigers"... hit buy on the tab, looked up for the wife and 2:30 it was, let the fun begin.. that was my favorite game i have ever been to, Ive been to a few as most of you, but that hot day in Miami is one Ill never forget!! #CUintampa
