0730 hrs. Game Day. Campus Loop. Inaugurating another year of OU football with the first home game of the season. Not as many professional tailgaters out this morning. Perhaps the initial loss at Houston, the late afternoon kickoff time (1800 hrs) or the lack of competition with Louisiana Monroe (+46) coming to town is the culprit, but the scene on campus was relatively calm by OU standards. Ohio State brings it next weekend and the vibe will no doubt be proper. Hit the road to cool, Autumn-like temps: 63 degrees Fahrenheit (17 Centigrade) and 90% humidity. Beautiful, post-thunderstorm bliss. Completed the 6.25 miles in 1:01:18 for a 9:49 average pace. No complaints. For the week: 16.48 miles on three runs. Sunday respite. Mahalo.
