If you blow up the image you will notice that it is a wet day ... a number of the hats have rain covers on them

And did you notice the rain gear some are wearing ? Looks like it was a cold, wet game

Well it may have rained before the game but everbody knows it never rained on a Bud game in Norman.

Never literally, but figuratively, yes - I'm a Bob Devaney/Tom Osborne (and now Bo Pelini) Huskers fan

Very nice picture!

Wow. You know your Sooner football history. I'd forgotten my grandfather used to tell me that about the Bud days. I may be sitting in rain this weekend, both literally and figuratively.

Ah Chinaski, I miss those cold Thanksgiving weekend games.
