El Paso: Here comes the snow

I spoke too soon about the El Paso weather.  The snow hit about 8 a.m. mountain time, and it’s coming down. Already accumulating on palm trees, which is a totally wild scene.

Snow at the Sun Bowl is nothing new. OU offensive coordinator Kevin Wilson played in the 1982 Sun Bowl for North Carolina, when the Tar Heels beat Texas 26-10 in the snow. “They closed the airport,” Wilson said. “We almost didn’t get out after the game.”

Defensive coordinator Brent Venables said OU is prepared to practice indoors or outdoors. A couple of gymnasiums are available at Austin High School, where the Sooners are headquartered.
