Sooners held Tennessee back until half time. They went back to the locker room during half time feeling really good and on top of their game. They felt energized and slapped each other on the back. After the brief rest and Couch cautioning them to not get overly confident, they were determined to keep up their momentum.
In spite of all they could do, Tennessee came alive in the third quarter. Ignited by a 36-yard interception return for 6 points , they now were on the score board. Later Oklahoma broke the Tennessee momentum with a 25-yard interception return making it 26-17, which was countered with a late one yard run.
With only seven seconds remaining, a 43 yard field goal by Tennessee sailed wide right. Oklahoma rejoiced with a narrow win 26-24.
The Sooners walked triumphantly into the celebration party held after the Orange Bowl win. The high they felt lasted for hours. It wasn’t a big win, but a win was a win. Danny and the rest of the seniors rejoiced that their last season ended on a high note.
Lisa waltzed into the after-game celebration as lovely as ever. She walked up to Danny and jumped into his arms. She kissed him long and hard right in front of all the team creating all kinds of catcalls and comments from the other team members. Danny knew all of the single guys would date her in a second if given the chance. Danny spent the night with her in her hotel. They made love until the early hours of the morning.
On the farm Danny woke up the next morning still feeling the warmth of their love making. He sat up on the side of the bed and rubbed his knee. It didn’t hurt as much as it did last night. Frisker jumped and wiggled in glee when he saw Danny getting up. He stumbled into the bathroom and turned on the shower. He turned it on full blast and let the stinging hot water soothe his still aching muscles and sore leg. He knew that the pain from climbing up and down on the ladder the day before triggered the dream.
After pulling on some old faded jeans and a faded OU tee-shirt, Danny reached for his shoes. That’s when he noticed that the shoe strings had been chewed off.
Danny called Frisker in and pointed to his shoe strings and scolded the young dog. Frisker alternately hung his head and wiggled his tail which included his whole body, not sure whether he should be happy or remorseful.
He went into the kitchen to prepare his breakfast. He shook his head wishing he could shake the dream out of his thoughts. Now that he planned a date with Angela, why did Lisa have to haunt his dreams? Maybe, he had it backwards; the date with Angela triggered the dream.
Danny called the feed store and ordered twenty-five Rhode Island Red baby chicks. Now he had something to put his mind to other than reliving old memories. He headed to the barn to take care of his animals and start on the chicken pen. He needed to buy a walk gate and some chicken wire but he already had the other supplies he needed. He had carried his T-posts and post-hole driver from the hay barn to the milk barn when Frisker barked.
Brad and Tim walked into the yard carrying their fishing poles and tackle box. Then Danny remembered that he had invited them to fish in his pond. He lifted his arm in a wave and called, “Hi, there. I’m at the barn.”
They came to the barn and he showed them his pigs and his calves. He showed them the pen he was building and explained the history of the old milk barn. They played with the kittens and Frisker. After taking them to the house and giving them each a soda, they were finally ready to go fishing.
He led them to the pond and made sure they had everything they needed. “We don’t need any help, do we Tim. We know how to put the bait on the hooks and everything.”
Tim nodded his head in agreement, “Yeah, our dad lets us go fishing at home in the pond.”
Since Danny could see them from where he was working, he went back to his fence building. Danny felt a little fatherly thinking that maybe someday he
