Famous Last Words: Surviving the Red River Rivalry

There is one weekend every year when the students of the University of Oklahoma and the University of Texas in Austin meet up in Dallas. It's a special time filled with carnival rides, corny-dogs, laughter, smack talk, and just about any other thing you can name. The state fair is something else. If you ever go, think of how many tickets you could ever POSSIBLY need, then double that number. you'll find plenty of things to spend them on, trust me. Even if you don't use them all, you'll be a legend when OU wins the game and you buy a celebratory round of corny-dogs. If you haven't met Big Tex you should as well. He's a great guy who doesn't mind you running around his feet. He's just happy to be there soaking up the atmosphere as you should be as well. If there's one thing you don't want to forget for the game, it's your trash talk. If you don't bring your "A" game then chances are you could take an L from the Texas fans in the stands, as well as your team losing. Another possible loss you could take is a sunburn. Standing in the blinding sun for 4 hours while the teams go to battle is nothing at the time, however when you can barely crinkle your nose without crying the day after, you'll be wishing you had brought that sunscreen. One last thing, if OU wins, you go to the bars after the game. If OU loses, you still go to the bars after the game.
