WRONG WRONG WRONG. You people don't know what THE GAME really means.
You have your cross town rivalries and your intra-state rivalries. But
here in Oklahoma, we have the ONE and ONLY BIG GAME.

		OKLAHOMA - TEXAS.  (football of course)

(notice how texas is last).  This is an inter-state rivalry, this game
is so big that they have to pick a neutral town to have it in (that is
if you can call Dallas neutral).  We even get a long weekend to recover
from the after effects. I mean this game is big, bigger than OU-Nebraska
(a piddly BIG-8 rivalry), and much larger than the OU-OSU (Oklahoma State)
which is a tiny intra-state rivalry (we always kick their ass). The
cal - stanford game is nothing compared to what happens at Dallas every
year in october. Oregon - Oregon State Huh, when were they on National TV?

Come on people get real, Oklahoma - Texas is the only game and is the only
TRUE "The GAME". What do people in Texas have to say about this. Come on
I know there are some people out there who live in Dallas, what do you think
about this game....
