NO.. this is why..."Serious tradition" definatly..Concider the following..101 meetings, last 77 at a NEUTRAL site, The Cotton Bowl, in the middle of the Texas State Fair..no small event in itself... Serious bad blood.. Both teams constantly topped ranked and in the national title hunt... Equal tickets issued to both sides... Fans are divided @ the 50 yd line...the South horseshoe being OU country....Tex the North....whereas, you literally have OU-Tex fans shoulder to shoulder @ the 50.... 7 heisman trophy winners have played in this game.... 10 National Champions between the two teams...OU -7....Tex- 3....OU & Tex have been ranked # 1 and # 2 on game day, more than any other, of the concidered other "major" rivalry games....Even Troy Aikman made an apperance in this game, he was the starting QB for OU in the 1984 match-up. OU 14 Tex 7... BYW...1948 game... Tom Landry & Bobby Laine for Tex...Darrell Royal for OU...in 2002, the 'Horns named their stadium after a SOONER graduate :)
