re: The upcoming loss of the OU-Ok State rivalry reminds me of a once-classic SEC rivalry....

I'm sure there are a lot of OU fans that are sad to see the series go but speaking from experience they'll get over it fast. Being able to play teams like Bama, LSU, Georgia,etc...instead of ISU or TTech is huge. You guys will still have Texas and get A&M back.

While true, Missouri didn't have in state rivalry to give up so you never appreciated its uniqueness.

To me it will be weird to give up the one game (or series) where your workplace, your church and your neighborhood is divided.

While an Oklahoma State fan would reach nirvana with a win over Oklahoma.... Oklahoma fans basically got nothing out of a win....just a sense of relief that we didn't lose... and be forced to deal with the giddy, sky high OSU fans at work on Monday.

Because of that dynamic... I don't think most OU fans will miss the game all that much.
