No, it's quite a loving environment. The Sooner women can't help but throw themselves at me and their husbands like to watch.

You must not be a golfer.

They've pulled this name-change horseshite so often that it's hard to care. I suppose I prefer "Shootout" to the others.

It's always been "OU-Texas" to me and a lot of people...or "Texas-OU" if you root for the bad guys.

Just rolls off the tongue, doesn't it? Also stupidly generic.

I guess "Showdown" is okay...kind of a wholesome "Price is Right" kinda feel.

Guess I hit a sore spot. Everyone knows that both Texas and Oklahoma are living off of their teams from 30 and 40 years ago

Technically speaking, you pissing through a hole in your trailer floor still counts.

From 2000-09, one team from that rivalry participated in the national title game 6 times in 10 years.



While I agree it is definitely a big game, LSU/Alabama had 6 appearances over 10 years in the title game as well (2003-2012) resulting in 5 NC's (insane percentage when you consider the only loss was by LSU to Bama), yet there is no name for that game and we aren't even rivals according to Bama fans. 3 other seasons in that stretch, SEC teams won the NC, which would help explain why the LSU/Bama, while huge, is just one of many huge conference games.

I fully expect Texas/OU to add to the list of traditional big SEC games. It should be fun.

Now that they are in the SEC we are just going to call It the “early game.”
