are you It’s no secret that football is king in Oklahoma. If you’re new to OU, you’ll soon find nothing dictates a student’s schedule like home game weekends.

After two weeks of school, the time has finally come. Are you ready for this?

Whether you’re ready or not, we hope this week’s first Gameday Issue will make your experience as memorable as possible. Even football veterans might learn something new about the Pride of Oklahoma’s Halftime Show plans this year (p. 8) or the fresh faces we’ll see on the field this fall (p. 10).

As an added bonus, hear from Louisiana Tech’s coach Skip Holtz to find out what he expects from this weekend’s game (p. 7). And, of course, don’t forget to brush up on the position rundown

and impress your friends with your extensive football knowledge (p. 10).

Gamedays on campus can be hectic, so maybe going to the game isn’t your thing. You can still learn some strategies to survive the chaos (p.14). See our map of campus and the surrounding streets to plan what areas to avoid when police shut down some roads for gameday traffic (p. 15).

From football to Norman fun, our goal is to provide you with a comprehensive guide to the weekend. Feel free to send us any comments or questions you may have about ESCAPE, so we can make your weekender even better.

Get your Gogh sooners card today

Pick up a free Gogh Sooners card at the Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art for a free beverage on gamedays

T

he Fred Jones Jr. Museum of Art has partnered with OU Food & Housing to provide students free drinks at football games during the fall semester.

The museum is providing Gogh Sooners cards, which can be exchanged at games for a free drink.

The cards are a way to highlight a partnership between the museum, the office of the president and the OU Athletics Department, said Michael Bendure, the museum’s director of communication. This partnership also allows free admission to all visitors to the museum, Bendure said.

“The free drink cards are available to all museum visitors — just visit the museum’s front desk during this fall’s

home football game days,” Bendure said.

The Gogh Sooners cards also pay homage to the Dutch painter Vincent Van Gogh, whose 1887 painting “Portrait of Alexander Reid” hangs in the museum.

While the cards are redeemable for one free drink at home football games, they can only be used at concession stands with corresponding Gogh Sooners signs. One card will get students one free drink at a game, and the cards are valid for all fall semester OU football home games.

Visitors can pick up Gogh Sooners cards during the museums open hours Tuesday through Sunday.

PHOTOS FROM PRIDE PRACTICE MONDAY

Broadway shows, “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Hitchcock’s movies and the magic of Disney will take the field at OU football games this year during the Pride of Oklahoma’s halftime shows.

KATE BERGUM | @KATECLAIRE_B

jiang jiaxin/ou daily Top: A trumpet player practices his music during Pride practice Monday. Middle: The drumline stands in a straight formation during the band’s practice Monday. Bottom: Jake Hille, Pride drum major, practices the traditional drum major walk at practice Monday.

ustin Stolarik, director of the Pride of Oklahoma, said he tried to incorporate a wide range of music when making the set list for the band’s shows, giving the shows the feel of variety shows, such as “The Ed Sullivan Show.”

To do this, he filled the shows, which generally last about 6.5 minutes, with additional shorter bits of music than played by typical marching bands, Stolarik said.

Instead of playing three 2-minute songs with announcements in between, Stolarik said he keeps each song to roughly one minute.

“The audience is getting stimulation for 6.5 minutes and it’s always changing,” Stolarik said.

Stolarik said he hopes the music will be educational for the audience and for the band members.

If his students or the Pride’s audience hear a song they like by a composer they are not familiar with, Stolarik said he hopes they will go home and research the music and its composer online.

“That’s where the discovery starts,” Stolarik said.

THE PRIDE’S 2014 HALFTIME SHOWS:

GAME

1

AUG. 30

The music of Stan Kenton, pianist and big band leader. The Pride will play six of the songs Kenton played with his big band. Songs include “Here’s that Rainy Day,” “Artistry in Rhythm” and “Pegasus.”

The cinematic music of Bernard Herrmann. The movie musician contributed to the soundtracks of many Alfred Hitchcock films. The Pride’s show will include music from “Taxi Driver,” “Psycho” and SEPT. 13 “Vertigo,” among other Hitchcock films. Saxophone professor Jonathan Nichol will play a solo from “Taxi Driver.”

Also, Stolarik said that he is working with SoonerVision to see if clips from the movies can run while the band plays.

GAME

2

Sing Along for the Ages. For the Homecoming game, Stolarik said he wanted to incorporate tunes that everyone watching would know the words to. The Pride OCT. 18 will be playing a selection of music from across the decades, including “You’ve Lost that Loving Feeling,” “Respect,” “Hotel California,” “We Built This City” and “I Gotta Feeling.” The band will wrap it up with “Hey Jude.”

GAME

3

Reflections of Oklahoma.

Using the music from “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” from Walt Disney World’s Epcot, the Pride will be paying homage to 8 Oklahoma history and campus life. Oboe professor Dan Schwartz will be playing a solo.

NOV. 22

“Miss Saigon.” The Pride will be telling the story of the Broadway musical “Miss Saigon” using music from the show. Stolarik said this show will be longer than usual, clocking in at 9.5 minutes instead of 6.5.

“Bohemian Rhapsody.” The Pride will play Queen’s 1975 hit for the last home game of the season. Additionally, Stolarik said they will play a slow version of “Oklahoma” DEC. 6 for their finale, as they did last year. Stolarik said he hopes to use this same finale every year that he directs the Pride.

position rundown Jennifer Rogers | @jentrogers315

The Sooners return 15 starters from last year’s Sugar Bowl-winning squad. Some spots are less experienced than others, but here is a list of the top position groups heading into the season:

1. Linebackers Oklahoma is packing one of the nation’s top linebacker groups. Junior Eric Striker, known for his enthusiasm and on-the-field presence, has had pre-season All-American mentions in addition to his impressive numbers from the previous season: 50 tackles and 6.5 sacks Sophomore Dominique Alexander had 80 tackles as a freshman last year and should be able to make a huge impact. Senior Geneo Grissom is the most experienced leader of this position group and will no doubt need to roll his impressive Sugar Bowl performance into this season.

2. Defensive line The Sooner defensive line has anxiously been awaiting the return of sophomore Jordan Phillips since his injury last season. The line is filled with experience. Senior Chuka Ndulue and junior Charles Tapper are both back for the Sooners. Tapper had 49 tackles and 5.5 sacks last season.

The depth OU has on the line gives defensive coordinator Mike Stoops and defensive line coach Jerry Montgomery room to play with positions and bring Grissom up to the line to create a nearly impenetrable defense.

3. Quarterbacks Sophomore Trevor Knight has earned the starting spot for the Sooners this season after his exceptional performance in the victory over Alabama. Knight undoubtedly has set the bar high going into this season, and his experience in big-game, big-pressure situations makes him a force to be

reckoned with.

Behind Knight, the Sooners have redshirt freshman Cody Thomas and sophomore transfer Baker Mayfield. Mayfield is unable to play this year unless the NCAA ruling is overturned, but he still serves as a valuable resource for the team.

4.Offensive line The Sooners are returning four out of their five offensive linemen from last season: Seniors Adam Shead, Tyrus Thompson and Daryl Williams along with junior Nila Kasitati. The one new starter on the offensive line is junior center Ty Darlington.

Luckily for the Sooners, Darlington does have game-time experience and certainly learned a lot from former starter Gabe Ikard. The veteran offensive line is comfortable in their positions, which will bode well for offensive efficiency.

5. Receiving corps This position group has some exciting new additions, including the transition of senior Blake Bell to tight end. Bell was named the starter this week, and his performance in the off-season has been highly acclaimed.

The receiving corps suffered some tough losses, including Jalen Saunders from last season. The Sooners have two returning juniors, Durron Neal and Sterling Shepard, who have ample experience. Shepard has 16 career starts and Neal played in all 13 games last season. Plus, there’s one addition to the starting group in K.J. Young, a redshirt freshman.

faces Dillon Hollingsworth | @dillonjames94 Which freshmen have the best opportunity to get playing time and become household names this fall?

1. Samaje Perine, RB Perine enters the season as the third-string running back behind sophomores Keith Ford and Alex Ross, but expect to see him get some carries before long. Perine garnered praise from the coaching staff and became somewhat of a mythical figure in the Sooners’ weight room over the off-season. With fellow freshman Joe Mixon suspended for the season, Perine should get an opportunity to crack some skulls.

2. Steven Parker, S The highly touted recruit apparently lived up to the hype over the summer as he fought his way into the starting safety conversation. Defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said Parker will be an important part of the rotation, filling the safety spots as Julian Wilson makes his transition to cornerback.

3. Jordan Thomas, CB After an impressive off-season Thomas has worked his way up the depth chart to the third spot behind senior Julian Wilson and junior Zack Sanchez. The coaches have high expectations for Thomas to make an impact during his freshman campaign.

4. Dimitri Flowers, FB When Flowers arrived on campus, comparisons began flying between the freshman fullback and Trey Millard, arguably one of the best players on last year’s squad before his season-ending injury. Although Flowers is behind senior Aaron Ripkowski on the depth chart, he is expected to see the field in 2014.

5. Marcus Green, CB Just behind fellow freshman Thomas on the depth chart at left cornerback, Green is expected to get some playing time this season as well. The recruit out of Cedar Hill, Texas, was listed by coach Bob Stoops as one of the freshmen expected to contribute in 2014. photo of steven parker provided

f you’ve never been on campus during a home game, you’re in for a treat. The true colors of Norman natives gleam in crimson and cream on a day when everyone can put their problems aside for a common love — football.

The energy and school spirit is almost overwhelming, and the crowds can be daunting to those who have never experienced the madness. Here are a few things to keep in mind: PARKING: Don’t.

As we’ve all experienced in these first two weeks, available parking is but a myth. For game day, things can be even more difficult. You can pay anywhere from $5 to $25 for parking in and around campus, or you can park for free at the Lloyd Noble Center and shuttle your way to the stadium. The best way to avoid burning gas and wasting time looking for parking is to walk.

DRINKS: Balance the booze.

Campus Corner has a lot to offer on game days, and the beer carts are plentiful. But with the intense heat we’ve experienced in the past week, it’s a good idea to remember to stay hydrated. If those beer carts lure you in, be sure to grab two bottles: one of beer, and one of water.

PICTURES: Watch for Party Pics.

The first game of the season isn’t just a big deal for those guys on the field — it’s a memory to be made for fans as well. Luckily, we’ve all got smart phones to capture these moments via the occasional selfie. But if you want to leave it to the professionals, Party Pics photographers will be around to snap those pictures for you, and you can later find them online.

PLAN: Be prepared.

There’s nothing worse than forgetting your umbrella on a rainy day or being forced to endure the hot metal bleachers during games. Keep in mind that it’s called “game day” for a reason — this is truly an all-day event. From the time you leave your house to the first few steps in the stadium, make a list of things you want to take with you to ensure the best football experience possible. Seat cushion?

Check. Sunglasses? Check. Face paint? Check. Boomer? SOONER.

O

U football can be a great experience, but Norman on gamedays is a complete nightmare if you’re not in the gameday spirit. Traffic on Interstate 35 and within about a 3 mile radius of campus is usually backed up like it’s rush hour all day. So, if you are trying to avoid the gameday crowd, there are a few places around Norman during gamedays that aren’t overcrowded with cheering Sooners.

TRAFFIC: Avoid these areas.

• Lindsey Street between I-35 and 12th Street • Basicially all of Boyd Street • Jenkins Avenue (closed by the stadium) • Campus Corner NAVIGATING: Use these streets.

If you use the outerlying streets of Norman to get from point A to point B, you will likely end up spending less time in the car than you would if you tried to drive through campus.

If you’re going north or south, use 12th or 24th Streets; if you’re going east or west, use Robinson Avenue or Highway 9. Warning: Highway 9 on gameday can get pretty congested becuase fans park at Lloyd Noble. All that said, if you can bike or walk, it’s best to just do that.

PLACES: It is possible to get out of the house.

You just have to know where you’re going. The restaurants along I-35 are usually crowded, and Campus Corner is even more packed. To my surprise, I’ve had good luck with places on Main Street and the surrounding area. Here are a few places that won’t be as crowded as the gameday epicenter (campus): • Gray Owl • Starbucks on 36th Street and Robinson Avenue • Lake Thunderbird • Barnes and Noble • Hollywood Theaters TRUTHFULLY: You should probably stay home.

Get snacks Friday night and spend Saturday watching Netflix or studying. Sure, it’s possible to fight the gameday crowd, but it’s less stressful to retreat until morning.
