Sorry. Another OU interloper here.
But my family has a house in Austin and have a well known business there. So pretty familiar with Texas.
Texas-Texas A&M is your typical Ag-Flag rivalry with a bit of Texas style hubris thrown on top. It hurts a Texans over the top pride to lose that game. Aggie pride in being a hard working salt of the earth Texan. And Longhorn pride in being the "anointed" selected by the almightyTexans.
Texas vs. OU is more of a state vs. state rivalry more than anything. And to some degree a cultural thing. Texans think they are better than Okies by virtue of being Texans. They see us as vermin infesting their state. Like a plague of locusts with missing teeth.
Obviously Okies see it differently. But you didn't ask that question.
Nothing is more shameful to a Texan than to get one upped by a non Texan... Especially an Okie.

Lol funny post with a bit of Truth in there I have to admit.
One aspect of the Oklahoma game you left out though is the fact that so many of your players were from Texas and it just burned our arse if they went up there and then whipped our arse on the field. that has a lot to do with the reason there was so much vitriol
