Oklahoma- Texas
Tough game with Texas -5.5 over Oklahoma
Been on the train riding Texas but not sure if I want to get off. Texas is ranked 3rd in the country. Ewers at qb is the real deal everyone is doubling Xavier that the Geo transfer portal wr Mitchell was named B-12 offensive player of the year with 10 or 11 catches last week as X man was doubled teamed . Mitchell was wide open vs Kansas last week Brooks the Texas rb had over 200 yds and is making people forget Bijon Robinson . Texas OL is dominating and any of us here could run through their openings and gain 2.5 yds . But Texas Defensive front 7 is the key.They are solid and with Def preseason Player of Year Ford at Lb they can shut you down BUT this defesne has seen 3 straight backup qb's in Rice Baylor and Wyoming. So is the defense that good or they hadn't gone up against the No 1 qb of those teams .. Now on Saturday they see the pre-season POY in B-12 qb in Gabriel . He can run and pass. Last yr in 49-0 Texas blowout win he got hurt ..So the rematch and revenge are a factor..
This game is one of the biggest rivalry games in football . My wife is from east Texas[ Paris} and the reason its called the red river rivalry is because the red river separates the two states borders. When I started dating my girlfriend my soph year in college she lived about 10 miles south of the red river in Paris Texas.. The river was not red But the clay along both sides of the states was red . I was actually looking to see if the river was really red It wasn't but being an 19 yr old from NY it didn't take me time to realize people from Texas and Oklahoma hate each other. In 1969 a dorm councilor took us to Commerce Street in downtown Dallas and it was wild 1,000 of cars bumper to bumper The game is played at a neutral site Dallas with both campus's 100 miles away. The crowd is split 50/50 and as walked the streets their were 100's of policemen on every block They were arresting drunks fans and had paddy wagons to take you to jail. If you didn't have your draft card with you ,you were arrested. Its 1969 and the Vietnam War was going on . As cars drove by you they had the hook'im horns or the down hook'im beeping horns .. We were yelling NY Mets since they were playing in the world series the same week Back later
