Debbie and I thought it would be fun to take Ady down to Waco on Wednesday night to see No. 2 Oklahoma square off against No. 4 Baylor in women's basketball. She'd been to some SMU games before, but this was her first Big 12 matchup.
When we arrived at the Ferrell Center, we noticed that there was a heightened buzz in the arena. Turns out, the place was crawling with Secret Service! Our nation's 43rd president, W, was in the house. George and Laura stopped in to see the Lady Bears.
Prior to the game, Deb took Ady back to the OU locker room to meet the coaches. And before they could leave, a rush of security people stormed into the area. Then, here comes W, staring Debbie right in the face.
"Who's that little one?," Bush asked Debbie.
Adyson simply buried her head into Mom's chest. Our 6-month-old was either blushing, embarrassed or simply didn't know how to react to meeting the former Leader of the Free World. When Debbie returned to the media room and told Brian this story, he went wild and said, "Why didn't you get a picture?" Oh well.
Adyson got plenty of face time on TV early in the second half, though. A cameraman for SoonerVision turned around and got a close-up of Adyson and Brian on press row. Brian helped Ady do "O-U" with her arms for everyone back in Norman and Oklahoma City to see.
OU won a terrific game 56-51, by the way. Of course, what should you expect from the best rivalry in Big 12 women's basketball?
