2020 sucks and other things as I miss attending OU-Texas game for first time in 30 years

It is a pleasant evening on my patio tonight, as the setting sun casts shadows through the sycamore tree’s cover onto my Bermuda backyard where two squirrels chase each other from one end to the other.
All that sounds good. A nice fall weekend ahead here in Norman, Oklahoma.
Except every year on this evening, for the past 30 years in a row, I have not been here.
I have been in Los Colinas, Texas at a high-rise hotel with several hundred other people dressed in similar crimson garb reuniting friendships forged each eve of the best college football game ever played: Oklahoma-Texas game at Fair Park in Dallas.
But not this weekend. Not this year.
The year to forget — the COVID 19 year.
There is a football season this year?
About 20,000 fans will be in the Cotton Bowl for kickoff on Saturday at 11 a.m.
