Texas vs OU: Frequently Asked Questions

Photo

It's the best week of the year: Texas vs OU in the Cotton Bowl.  The Texas State Fair, corn dogs, football, carnies working the fair, carnies wearing crimson... It's all wonderful.  Even the 50% of it that's awful is wonderful.  After all, you can't have pretty without ugly.

For many of us, the Red River Shootout is a birthright, but there are always a number of questions about the big game. To help you out, I've put together a handy FAQ for your reference, touching on the rivalry overall, as well as a bit on this year's Oklahoma team.  These are all facts, verifiable on Wikipedia. Maybe.

Q:  What is the all-time series record between Texas and Oklahoma?

A:  The 2011 game will be the 106th meeting in the rivalry.  The Allies lead the series over the Axis 59-41-5.

Q:  Um, didn't Hank Williams Jr. just get cut from Monday Night Football for comparing the President to Hitler? Should we refrain from making comparisons between Oklahoma and genocidaires?

A:  We were as surprised as you were that Hank Williams Jr. didn't know that Hitler was reborn in the body of Bob Stoops. 

Q:  Speaking of Bob Stoops, does he have a chin?

A:  He does not.  The Oklahoma head coach sold his chin to the devil for the 2000 national championship. The devil told him he could only get it back when he won a BCS Bowl Game on his own.  And that UConn doesn't count.

Q:  I heard that every time the Sooners score a touchdown, an angel has its wings ripped off by a demon, and is forced to tearfully beg the demon to cauterize the wounds. The demon will refuse, and the sobbing angel will lie in a puddle of angel blood and feathers for eternity, wondering why the Sooners are allowed to score touchdowns.  Is that true?

A:  Yes.

Star-divide

Q:  Why do Sooners throw the Horns down all the time, even when they aren't playing Texas?

A:  That's a good question, and one that we don't have a good answer for. We posed the question to a few Sooner fans and they provided us with a video response.

Q:  Can I have those three minutes of my life back?

A:  I'm really sorry, but no.

Q:  Is it true that Oklahoma fans can't read?

A:  This is one of those urban legends that's gotten a bit overblown over the years. In truth, an estimated 15-20% of Sooner fans are literate.

Q:  Should we give the state of Oklahoma back to the Native Americans?

A:  Setting aside that it would certainly be the fair thing to do, the rest of us are subsidizing Oklahoma with our tax dollars anyway.  Kind of a win-win, isn't it?

Q:  What is that horrible pony-drawn thing that tears around the Cotton Bowl?

A:  Sooners sometimes refer to it as the Sooner Schooner, but it's official name is the Cheat Wagon. 

Q:  Last but not least, which is more pathetic: a Sooner or an Aggie?

A:  An Aggie.

Q:  Wow, really?

A:  Really.

Q:  Okay, so this year's team: how good is Landry Jones?

A:  Kind of good?  His overall numbers are gaudy, but against the five ranked teams he's faced over the past year he has 10 TDs against 9 INTs.

Q:  Last year, I could have sworn the carnie running the ring toss was Landry Jones. Could that be right?

A:  Common mistake.  Everyone from the state looks like Landry Jones.  Which is to say, a carnie.

Q:  How good is Ryan Broyles?

A:  Fucking good.

Q:  Is it me, or is Brent Venables kind of a dolt?

A:  It's not you.

Q:  Will Travis Lewis ever not be the starting middle linebacker for OU?

A:  I miss Ryan Reynolds, too.

Q:  Can the Sooners actually rush the ball this year?

A:  They ran the ball well against Tulsa and Ball State, but struggled with Florida State (2.9 ypc) and to a lesser extent Missouri (3.7 ypc).

Q:  Any other Sooner names I should know for this year's game?

A:  DE Ronnell Lewis is a terror on the edge, WR Kenny Stills is big and a damn tough cover in the end zone, and DB/LB Tony Jefferson plays the game fast as hell.

Hook 'em.  And OU sucks...

I guess more than a few lawyers look for outlets

and we happen to be near computers much of the time. I’m in various sorts of litigation and arbitration — right now commercial and sovereign matters with a smattering of IP, but I’ve done everything from plaintiff’s wrongful death to medmal defense to criminal defense to antitrust.

I’m with a BigLaw in NY now (wifey’s career took us here) and have practiced all over the place, so I embrace getting shipped out on whatever case doesn’t fit within the mainstream.

Good luck on the bar results, btw.

The Army – Navy game is more of a tradiational “Pro-Army vs. Pro Navy” types of people and only REALLY matters inside Annapolis and Westpoint. It really isn’t much of a football rivalry since the days of competitiveness of those service academies.

Would you keep playing you if you were us?

Granted, playing Aggie in college station is no picnic and part of the decision would come down to whether or not we wanted to add another difficult non-con game, but from the fans perspective, playing Aggie has been a no-win situation for many years now…we win and it’s well, of course you did, you’re Texas and you have all the money and all the recruits. We lose, and it’s ha-ha, look who’s overrated.

I’m actually looking forward to a hiatus from the rivalry where A&M can go find an identity completely apart form UT and then a few years from now, continue the rivalry more as equals or at least without all the big brother/little brother BS.

In advertising, we never recommend a brand engage in a pissing match with the competition when the aggressor is clearly in a position where they have nothing to lose and engaging them only gives them more exposure.

That may sound terribly arrogant to you, but I think there’s some truth to it…or at least that’s how I and many Longhorns fans feel right now.

And I do think you give a damn if our two teams play or not…otherwise, you wouldn’t have bothered to comment…or spend so much time on this forum for that matter.
