Texas - OU 2005
 

This Saturday is the 100th anniversary of the Red River Shootout, that time of the year when the Longhorns bitch-slap the helpless sooners and drive them back over the border to that craphole of a state they call oklahoma. I mean seriously, if the world were to receive an enema then Norman, OK is where you would connect the hose. I've driven through OK several times and I hated it each time. No one there knows how to drive.

Unfortunately the evil sooners have been triumphant for the past five years in a row. The last time Texas won I was a senior at UT. That was before Nintendo Dolphin was even a dream.

I hope Texas wins on Saturday, and you better too. If they lose again I am going to be forced to shut down GameTavern and leave the country.

Hook 'em Horns!

Vince Young will hook the sooners a new one.

Texas by 13

Hey, looks like Texas won. I would also like to add that Pitt is now...2-4. Woo, we won today. It's not going to be a spectacular rest of the season though, but I will continue to have fun in the marching band.

Well, Oklahoma is the "ok" state.

Re: Texas - OU 2005
 

I saw one of the best games I've seen in maybe 5 years today.

Northwestern 51
Wisconsin 48

Over 1100 yards of total offense.

Go Penn St! Up 14-10 on Ohio St. right now...

Re: Texas - OU 2005
 

Indeed, there was much cheering on this front.

What do you play? I played drums in the basketball band for awhile but never in the marching band.

This would be as good a time as any to ask..


But why are Highschool/College sports so big in the US?

Re: Texas - OU 2005
 

College sports are popular precisely because of what defines their difference from pro sports. Pro athletes will play for whomever gives the money. They don't give a crap who it is. On the college level the athletes have a choice where they go. There is much more loyality, tradition, and pride at the college level.

Re: Texas - OU 2005
 

But I mean, I just dont get it.


Because we have college/University and Highschool sports up here...but it isnt the whole diehard tradition it is there.

Like there, a College football team sometimes is praised higher than an NFL team.

Here, sometimes we dont even know a college HAS a football team.

/me walks in just to throw in a little OU support...even though we lost...


/me shrugs and walks away

Re: Texas - OU 2005
 

I play Tenor Sax. I played Bari Sax in high school, but Pitt's marching band doesn't have Bari in it.

I have a cool picture of our pregame show. This was during the Pitt vs. Notre Dame game.
