Amidst the rides and chicken fried bacon in Dallas tomorrow, a little shindig called the "Red River Shootout" makes its yearly appearance.

TEXAS vs OU. Gird your loins.

The stadium will be equal parts Burnt Orange and Red. It will be 100% rivalry.

Longhorns vs Boomer Sooners. (Which by the way are the entire lyrics to OU's fight song. I guess they like to keep things simple in Oklahoma.)

The winner likely wins the Big 12 Championship, although the Big 12 has a strange way of determining that. Last year Texas beat OU. OU went to the BCS Championship Game and lost. Another OU tradition.

When Texas wins the Big 12 they win their BCS games, including the National Championship in 2005. Another Texas tradition.

If OU is so cool, how come they don't have Walter Cronkite voicing their promos instead of Texas?

Texas has Bevo, a gigantic longhorn. OU has a little wagon pulled by a baby horse.

Texas has Mack Brown, Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley. OU has Sam Bradford, a sore shoulder and a wounded knee.

The best show on television, "Friday Night Lights" is set in Texas. Ok, "Saving Grace" is set in Oklahoma, but she's a hard drinking, chain smoking. sl*t of a cop. (However loveable. Earl is doing his best)

When Matthew Mcconaughey goes to college football games, he wears burnt orange and stands next to Mack Brown. OU can't even get Jessica Simpson.

Compared to the music scene in Austin, Norman is Guitar Hero.

Oklahoma does have the wind sweeping down the plains. But so does Wyoming. Wind is so over-rated.

Texas has the Salt Lick Barbeque.

It's all about "livin' large" and you can only do that in Texas. (That and the fact OU SUCKS!)

HOOK'EM HORNS!!!!
Barbeque OU!
