One of the major perks of my job is getting to know so many wonderful people. From suiteholders to club seat holders to the “regular” fan, it’s been an awesome experience. When I deliver suite tickets, it runs the gamut; I’ll go from dropping them off at the front desk to spending up to an …
When I began working at OSU we had 63 suites; now, after all the construction in the west end zone is complete, we are up to 119. It takes me about a week to count, package, deliver and ship all the packages. I originally shipped all of the suite tickets, but a couple years ago …
I’m kind of obsessed with Whole Foods. Even though most of the stuff is crazy over-priced, I could (and do) spend hours in there looking for items I can’t live without. There are a few fresh vegetables I only find there and I used to buy a lot of bulk rice/beans/grains there until I discovered Sprouts. Usually I …
One of our club seat holders had been trying for about 2 years to get me to come to Tulsa for dinner. No, nothing inappropriate or anything like that. It was to join him and his wife, along with the Merrifields, who owns Polo Grill. I always planned to, but life just got in the way. …
My parents came to town for 2 weeks in August, and then were going with me to the Kickoff Classic in Houston. Yes, I know that seems like a long time, especially since I’m used to having the whole house to myself…but I was super busy with work, and so it was great to come …
On the way back from Altus we stopped in OKC to get some lunch. We were starving, and Mary had never been to Nhinja Sushi & Wok, so we decided to go there. I was originally thinking sushi, but I also really like their wok dishes and need to branch in that direction more in …
Every year when we go to Altus for the caravan it’s about 100 degrees. And I swear the temperature rises as we drive there. No matter what, by the time we reach the Expo Center for the caravan, the heat just assaults us when we open the car door. Altus is about a 3.5 hour …
In what’s becoming a clear pattern, we always stop for lunch on our way to caravans. Our options in Stillwater are just average, and this way we can check out new and fun places in other cities. Tulsa obviously has tons of restaurants, but since our Wing Stop option turned out not to be one …
I’m a huge fan of fried chicken. It’s one of my favorite things ever. When I was a kid we used to go to Roy Rogers (a fast food restaurant on the East coast) every so often and I would always get the 2 piece dark meat. However, my mom refused to let me eat …

The night before my parents left I was getting suite tickets ready to ship out the next day. The previous night I had been at work until almost midnight, but I really didn’t want to do that again, especially since I still needed to pack for my trip to Chicago. So my parents came to the office …
I hadn’t seen Jamea since before I left for my conference in Minneapolis, so we decided to meet up for dinner last week. You would think with not a huge selection of restaurants in Stillwater that picking a place to eat would be easy. But whether it’s lunch with co-workers or dinner with friends, it …
We wanted to eat at Lake Hefner last night. Redrock Canyon Grill was our first choice–and one of my favorite restaurants in OKC–but last month it almost burned down in a fire. Good news is, they said from the day after the fire that they’re going to rebuild. I had never been next door to Mama Roja’s, …
I hardly ever ate Mexican food when I lived in Maryland, and I’m really not sure why. There are lots of Hispanic neighborhoods there, and a big one near my parents’ house so I’m sure there are endless options of authentic Mexican, and not just the Tex-Mex chains you see all over the place. Once …
So my first stop is, of course, a burger joint! We were headed to the caravan in Bartlesville, and stopped for lunch at Fat Guy’s Burger Bar in downtown Tulsa. James found the restaurant on Urban Spoon, and we agreed it was the place to go. I think I might need to call Guy Fieri …
