Ah yes, that game. I was still in Guam when it was played (but saw it) and the next Spring I was stationed in Coronado.
I was kind of dating this bartender at one of the Coronado establishments, and one night I was bored, so I hopped on my skateboard and went over to visit her.
There was this total preppie, pretty-boy at the bar hitting on her. I came in dressed in my usual board trunks and t-shirt and sat at the bar. He looked over at my skateboard, with its giant CU sticker, and said, "who do you know who went to Colorado?" in a really snotty voice--as if it was clear to him that I didn't ever attend college.
I said, "I did" and then added for good measure "I did my graduate work there too".
Turns out this kid was a student at OU, and on the ****ing tennis team. So he brought up football and said "you're lucky that you guys didn't play us
last year" referencing their solid 99 campaign (it might have been a response to my mention of how we'd dominated them for the last decade).
I just looked at him, and said, "dude, we
did play you in Boulder and we smoked you...again."
He stammered something, all momentum lost and excused himself and left shortly thereafter. I saw him a few times the following summer--his family lived on the island; in my mind he has become the epitome of an OU student. What a douche.
