 Until this week, I knew nothing about the University of Oklahoma and had no idea where it was located.  I had previously visited Oklahoma City when my sister-in-law and her family lived there.  But other than that, I only knew that native americans were the indigenous people of the state and that there was a significant african-american population.  I discovered  this article on the History of Oklahoma and discovered that Oklahoma has the largest native-american population in the United State and their descendants are from 67 original tribes.  If you would like to read more about Oklahoma's History you can click on this site here. 

 

Our game will be televised on ESPN at 7:45 p.m. EST.  With a later kick-off time it is the perfect opportunity to tailgate before the game.  In anticipation of this event I would like to share one of my favorite tailgate recipes:

 

NIEMAN-MARCUS DIP

Ingredients : 8 oz. Cheddar cheese, shredded 12 slices bacon (fried crisp & crumbled) 6 green onions (sliced tops, too) 3/4 c. slivered almonds 1 c. mayonnaise Preparation : Mix all of the ingredients  and refrigerate overnight. Use real mayonaise and not Miracle Whip. Serve with  plain Triscuit Crackers Note: Use Real Mayonnaise not Miracle Whip This is always a popular appretizer and goes over well with any crowd.  It is also great to serve if you will be watching the game at home.

GO DAWGS!!!!
