Well, I have attended about 10 games each between both schools, and they really aren’t even comparable..

There just is some something different about Texas vs Oklahoma.. half Burnt Orange, half Crimson.. and it just gets your blood boiling.. The game is usually pretty close, and the overall series is relatively close. In the Big 12, they have fricking owned us.. but that game often determined the Big 12 South, which ultimately impacted National Title hopes..

Since 2000, Texas has played for 2 NC and OU has played for 4 NC in the BCS. OU has also made the CF playoffs 4 times. The game usually has meant a lot.. It’s just hard to explain in words unless you have been..

The Texas vs Texas A&M game has always been a big rivalry game as well.. but the series isn’t all that close, and games are often lopsided, one direction or the other. It was very rare for both teams to be good in the same year, and the game has never had national title implications for whoever wins that game..

That being said, I do agree that it will be quite heated going forward. It’s hard to imagine that it will be bigger than the Oklahoma game, but I guess it is possible with all the shite that has transpired.

Also, I have never been to the Iron Bowl, so I really can’t compare either to that game. My original comment was just saying:

Texas vs Oklahoma > Texas vs Texas A&M

Since 2000 4 different SEC teams have won 12 National Championships*. (fwiw - Since 98 5 teams/13 titles)

Welcome to the big time. Good Luck.

*Lost count on how many arse beatings said Oklahoma took in that run.
