rainmaker17 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 Big game on Saturday: The 100th 'Red River Rivalry' (try saying that five times fast). Texas, as you probably know, has lost the last five. This year UT is a legitimate number two in the country, and OU has lost several key players from last years team. Texas is favored by 13 1/2. Having said that, this one of those 'anything can happen' games. It doesn't seem to matter who is ranked where, ask either side.Here goes....Texas wins 31-14. In previous years the Longhorns have seemed tight leading up to the Cotton Bowl, and I just don't sense that this year. As long as they don't underestimate a dangerous Sooner team (who would LOVE to derail UT's title hopes) the curse will be reversed.Hook 'Em!

CMUBrent Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 I don't usually pick Texas to beat Oklahoma, because........well, they haven't in recent years. Texas 37Oklahoma 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 This is played in Dallas every year, right. My comment is that they should get the biggest conference game of the year for each school (I assume) ON CAMPUS!

rainmaker17 Posted October 4, 2005 Author Share Posted October 4, 2005 OnWis97-That is a HUGE debate around here. Most in Austin would like to see the game stay in Dallas. It's a great tradition. Sure, the Cotton Bowl is a dump, but it is situated in the Texas Fair grounds (which is going on now), so win or lose everyone spills into the fair to keep the party going. Nothing like a beer and a Fletcher's corny dog after ax TX-OU game. Plus Dallas is exactly in beween Norman and Austin, and both schools, for the most part, seem to like the arrangement.

Jigga Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 For some reason, I just see the Longhorns taking out like 5 years worth of frustration and hang half a hundred on the Sooners...I know I'll be way off and look like an idiot, but here goes nothing:Texas 52, Oklahoma 17 On January 16, 2013 at 3:49 PM, NJTank said: Btw this is old hat for Notre Dame.

infrared41 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Big game on Saturday: The 100th 'Red River Rivalry' (try saying that five times fast). Red River Rivalry is tough to say. That's probably why everyone calls this game The Red River Shootout. I gotta pull for the Sooners even though I think The Longhorns are gonna win big. All roads lead to Dollar General.

winghaz Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 I can see it now. Oklahoma is down and Texas is in position to win a national championship. And Texas is known to blow big games. It's perfect timing for a Sooner victory, right?Nawww. Texas, 36-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
