Go back to calling it the Red River Shootout

I am a third generation Sooner graduate. I have been to every OU vs Texas game in the Cotton Bowl since 1976. I have watched many outstanding plays, players, and teams during those games. Simply put, there is no greater atmosphere, game, or rivalry than OU vs Texas.

Bro how did 2008 get left out as most memorable games. Like it was the most chaotic year in the big 12 south

[dannysmith]

I love this rivalry, OU uses Texas high school players to beat Texas, Texas Darryl Royal Stadium is named after an OU football Player. Mack Brown is a former OU OC. How much better can it get!

Good video, but you missed a fabulous story created by the late great Mike Leach.
When Leach was the OU offensive coordinator under Bob Stoops, he created a fake game plan and had a player drop it in the tunnel. A Texas player picked it up and it took a few series of OU possessions before Texas realized they’d been had!

Sucks to leave out 49-0 after so many close games. Plus 2008, that was an insane game.

[ShroomDoggyDogg]

Correction..Vince Young only beat Oklahoma once

[justincrady]

Still the Shootout to and EVERYONE ELSE

[wesgriffin]

Best part about this rivalry is that the hate goes beyond football!

In 1931 Texas Rangers and Oklahoma National Guard had a full standoff over owns a bridge that crosses the Red River. The Oklahoma governor even showed up armed with a revolver.

Lol lookup the Red River Bridge war, it gives a whole new meaning to the Red River Shootout

OU texas is like Christmas for me. I’ve been to a dozen RRR games so far and it’s my all time favorite place to be

The Red River Rivalry game is the most important game of the year for me as a former UT student. While I want my Texas Longhorns to win every game, no game matters more to me than that second Saturday in Dallas.

Woody hayes said "if you pass the ball 3 things can happen and 2 of them are bad"

[zrod]

OU 11-4 last 15 years. You have to go back 90 years for Texas to have a winning record against us.. BOOMER!

[aaronbanks]

Horns Down forever! Boomer Sooner! however, I do have respect for them, a little

[tonyplunk]

Still better than any game vs A&M.

[blackout]

Seen so many sad faces at the fairgrounds 😂😂😂

[michaelmachiavelli]

Welp, this one is getting put in my football replay list, great job.

BOOMER!!!!

[CallMeGrim]

The best part is we are extreme enemies but off the field Oklahoma and Texas are the best of friends. If the world turned on Oklahoma or Texas the other would stand by them.
