It's officially football season! And that means the Drummond crew is back to cheering on their favorite Woody Harrelson look-alike Bryce Drummond's college football team.
Bryce transferred schools to the University of Oklahoma State (go Pokes!) last year as a fullback for the team. Which means Ree Drummond was able to put on favorite orange game day beads (she also wore them for the Pawhuska Huskies) once again!
Both Ree and Ladd took to the stands of Boone Pickens Stadium to cheer on their beloved Oklahoma State cowboys during the second game of the season. (Although they went to different colleges, both Ree's and Ladd's parents went to OSU!) And with a nerve-wracking, nail-biting, blood pressure-spiking double overtime, to say it was exciting was an understatement.
"WHAT A GAME," Ree wrote on Instagram, "I have nothing left 😂."
The gripping match-up between the OSU Cowboys and the Arkansas Razorbacks had everyone on the edge of their seat. But after falling behind in the first half, Oklahoma State made a big comeback to win the game.
"Last play of the @okstate game (double OT)," Ree wrote, "My heart was 🏃."
Paige, her fiance David, and Todd joined in on the fun. Though OSU was playing the University of Arkansas (where Paige graduated from college), the crew still cheered on their favorite Oklahoma school (which happens to be David's alma mater).
"House was divided today ❤️🧡," Paige wrote in her post on Instagram.
The game lasted almost five hours, so everyone on the team was ready for a long nap!
One more snap of Paige's "favorite guys" proved that all's well that ends well...
Especially when it ends in a win! 🙌 🏈
Here's a photo Ree snapped of Bryce from her seat in the stands. Ree shared recently that last February, Bryce suffered a back injury in practice and wound up having to have corrective back surgery over the summer. After recovering from the procedure and spending weeks following the specific protocol for physical therapy, he's so glad to finally be back at it and able to go to full practice again. Athletic injuries are always a bummer for any college player (and college players' moms), so we'll be cheering him on once he's able to get back on the field.
Until then, to quote Ree, GO POKES!!
