Bingo. tOSU and OU fans tie for worst ever. Arkansas fans are next.


Here is my experience going to OU/TX games.

When I was in college I went to four of them - the Peter Gardere years. After each there were Texas fans chanting OU sucks and even had a guy throw the horns a few inches from one of our faces.

Next two OU/TX games OU again lost. One was the year Rickey Williams and Demond Parker were tearing it up. The next was Stoops's first year where we blew a 17 point lead. Again, constant OU sucks chants as we were leaving the stadium.

Finally, in 2010 I attended a game where OU won. I expected to experience OU fans talking trash and yelling Texas Sucks after the game. After going 0-6 on my first six games, I was disappointed to see OU fans simply leaving the stadium.

As a side point, that year we blew the 17 point lead, one older Texas man came up to me and said, "Don't worry. Stoops is a good coach and he'll get rid of that gimmicky offense." Yep, that gimmicky offense that put of 63 on your butts the next year en route to the national title.

The other half poisons trees and murders each other for not being upset enough about the loss.


I cannot argue with this take at all

95% of opposing fans in real life are just normal people going to a football game, regardless of what team they cheer for. I very rarely have negative experiences with opposing fans, to be honest, even rival fans.

I had the opposite experience with West Virginia fans at that game. Only away game I’ve ever been to where the home team fans shook our hands and thanked us for coming.

Ugly stadium? I think Davis Wade is a damn good looking stadium for it's age and size. Have you been since the NEZ was added?

Texas A&M is very impressive - the fans, the hospitality.


Whatever... this has been the Aggie facade for decades. They're nice to you because you don't mean anything.

They save it up for one school. Always been that way. They go from Jeckyl to Hyde when big brother shows up. And it ain't even pretty.

Nothing brings out the worst like envy.

I've never had an issue interacting with opposing fans. From what I've noticed over the years, as long as your aren't an obnoxious loudmouth, opposing fans will be nice to you. Everyone is at the game to have a good time.

Arkansas during liberty bowl was mostly decent

Oklahoma fans are alright

Kansas St fans are delusional

Texas fans I hate about as much as missouri

missouri fans are the only ones who have thrown garbage at me

I hear West Virginia fans are really bad, they actually do throw piss balloons beyond the joke

Texas: lots of casuals, more like an NFL fan base.


Don't mistake the high road for "casual". Our passion is spoken in dollars, not by low-rent sidewalk shenanigans.

And who's the richest, btw?

I promise you we want to beat you 10 times more than you want to beat us - our motivations just come from a different plateau.
