So far every single UT fan wants it to remain exactly the same. As does every OU fan.

On the other hand every pig person and every aggy have been very lame in offering unwanted advice. Mind your own damn business.

Very telling.

Poor aggies

Kind of like going to the Colosseum in Rome, it is a good historical experience. Not so many of those historical football stadiums left these days.

It’s been discussed earlier, but we make more money playing at home than $5M Jerry was paying us each to play at his house. If Jerry made it $8M a year each, I’m sure we would have stayed. We make more money playing at home, same for the hawgs. Also, we pump a lot of money into our college towns, businesses, and hotels.

It’s not the same for you guys bc Austin doesn’t need money, or local businesses there are tied into the game. Different circumstances.

But take it down a notch constantly comparing everything and saying you’re the best and everyone is jealous. Let’s just talk football.

We literally just had this thread.

Lo and behold, it was started by another Arky fan. And no, it is a classic game that shouldn't be fricked with.

Why do so many fans of rum-dum teams have problems with big programs having neutral site games?

I would hate to see the RRS move from the Cotton Bowl to AT&TStadium.

Nothing against Jerry Jones, I just don't like Oklahoma playing there.

Leave it at an outdoor stadium where players and fans alike have to deal with the elements.

69-year OU fan here. I have been to some SEC games as a part of my business dealings and all have been outstanding. I've done the RRS for many years including a 29-game consecutive stretch that was only ended by my kids HS football.

There is no way to convince any fan in our new conference that the RRS is any greater event than many of the existing games/venues using words alone, as such I won't even try.

I've been to LSU, GA, Bama & FL for games and they are all unbelievable.

As for pomp & circumstance nothing, and I mean nothing, beats Army/Navy.

The RRS will exist as only board postings to many until they take the initiative to attend one. Just as I am going to make the Miss. game or die this year, you should try Dallas just one time.

Best to arrive on Thursday. You'll understand once there. The fair is pretty cool, probably better than you presume. If you have kids, they will love it.

The midway/events/rides before & after the game are worth it. As with all good things there are precautions such as being clever where you park before the game.

Hope you get a chance to experience this event. I'm working on completing my roster of SEC game venues over the next 2-years.

And yes, TX suks.

Thank you for your opinion and explanation. Some of your brethren on here could take lessons from you and understand how to rationally discuss topics which are posted on sports message boards.

Best atmosphere in CFB. Don’t change a thing

They have been doing a renovation and just committed another 150m to upgrades

It’s a classic stadium

Love the game in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl. Jerry World is a hard pass, would rather go H&H if the game couldn’t continue at Fair Park. It’s the most unique atmosphere in college football.

None of that shite is true, and reeks of projection because thats what Arkansas does to fans traveling to Fayettnam. There are probably just as many OU grads in Dallas as there are UT if not more...and it's a big city with an interstate running through it so out of state license plates are common, and not a target unless they're doing something stupid.


I won't address the cops arresting Sooners on the way down other than to say that OU fans are leery of it happening... I assume that any OU fan who gets stopped on this weekend makes that association.

But Dallas itself is not a neutral site. Yes, there are a lot of OU people in Dallas but there are more Texas people. The press is Texas oriented toward the Longhorns... In the Dallas press it is always "Texas -OU"... never "OU-Texas"... If you go to restaurants in town you will see a lot of wait staff wearing Texas gear. If you watch the 10 oclock news in Dallas you will sometimes see the anchors sign off whith a "hook 'em"...

In general, Oklahomans are kind of seen an treated as some kind of invading horde that weekend. Meanwhile Texas fans are seen more as "locals"...

Usually after the game, if Texas wins... OU fans driving around town are targets because of license tags. You get a lot of Horns "waving" at you with the two fingered salute...

And sure as the world... if Texas wins... there will be people on I-35 north of Dallas who put signs up on the overpasses or along the roadway making sure departing Oklahomans know who won the game.

As an OU fan... you wish it wasn't that way... but you are in Texas and you are playing Texas... So you just have to accept it.

But it is annoying as hell that Texans try to act like Dallas is neutral like some bowl game site in another state. It's not.
