Watching the Red River rivalry between the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas Longhorns brought back memories of when I was in Texas for the government contract project. I remember being in the lobby with all the college students and their respective alumni coming back from the game. That day you didn't need to know who won the game. They wore their emotions on their faces.

I never knew how a big of a deal this game was in College football. The funniest part is that Texas is considered the home team, but Norman, Oklahoma is actually closer to the Cotton Bowl, but since its in the state of Texas they are considered the home team for this annual game.

I learned that day this rivalry is one of the biggest and longest rivalries in the history of both universities as well as in college football. I saw alot of red/white and orange/white that day. Oklahoma killed Texas that day with a final score of 65-13. Since that time I've heard of players going to the respective schools specifically to play in that particular game every year.

It might be not only one of the biggest rivalries in college football but in all of sports. Some sports experts consider it right up their with the Boston Redsox vs New York Yankees.
