Red River Rivalry Day!

It's Red River rivalry day here in big D.  The Red River rivalry game features the Texas Longhorns against the Oklahoma Sooners and is played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas adjacent to the Texas State Fair grounds.  The game is just now getting under way as I sit here on the sofa watching and typing this.  It should be a pretty good game as these are both ranked teams, #13 playing #15. 

I've still never been to the Texas State Fair which runs the month of October here. I've heard mixed reports about the Fair.  Some think it's the greatest thing ever to go check out while others don't see the need for it.  Maybe one of these days we'll go.

Oh man, here's some play by play....Oklahoma scored as they were kicking the extra point the kicker did a little stutter step then kicked the ball by then there were Longhorns closing in on him.  As he kicked it the ball never got up in the air instead it was scooped up by a Longhorn whom ran the distance the other way.  Stunned silence has fallen over the Oklahoma side of the stadium.  One minute their celebrating a touchdown the next minute Texas has the ball and is running towards their goal! Ha! Ha!

Since moving here this has become one of my fave college football games to watch each season.  It's similar to watching an ASU-U of A rivalry game.  Yet a little different since Texas Longhorns do not call Dallas home.  It's two great teams meeting on neutral turf in Dallas in each year.  Making up a classic duel!  I love how the stadium is divided down the middle, half Oklahoma fans and half Texas fans.  You would think Texas would have more fans since this is the state of Texas.  But Oklahoma is so close to the Dallas area tons of OU fans make the trip each year.
