Orange takes over Municipal

Posted March 15, 2008 by Berry Tramel Comment on this article

Lt. Gov. Jeri Askins is on the front row behind the OSU bench. Oklahoma City mayor Mick Cornett is on the front row on the other side of Municipal Auditorium. And much more importantly, Municipal is loaded with orange.

Namely Kurt Budke’s orange blazer. Must be a big game. A really big game.

We’re just a few minutes shy of the OSU-Texas A&M showdown in the championship game of the Big 12 Women’s Tournament, and Budke’s lucky blazer — debuted for the Bedlam rout of the Sooners in January — is not the only orange tint in the building. Municipal is predominantly orange; more than half the crowd is wearing Cowboy orange.

The OSU bandwagon is filling up fast. This should be fun.
