Fans coming to the game might want to consider parking at Lloyd Noble and riding the Medieval Fair shuttle to Reaves Park. The parking area to the south will be extremely wet and muddy due to the rains.

A shuttle will run continuously from Lloyd Noble parking lot to the fair on Saturday and Sunday. The bus will pick up fairgoers at a bus stop located north of the center on the south side of Imhoff Rd.

Don't forget to stop by the Diamond Club tent, located due south of the front gate for the pre-game tailgate festivities.

Nice comeback for the Sooners today. I was hoping for a split in the series, so this means I'll have to be pulling for the Aggies tomorrow. Gotta get games in the loss column for as many of the top tier teams in the league as possible if we're gonna have any shot at winning the conference. Especially with our having 9 of the next 11 conference games on the road, every bit of a head start in the standings is crucial.
