Just because he's at OU doesn't mean he's an Okie. I went there, and I'm definitely no Okie (even though I would rather be called an Okie than a Texan - while at OU I noticed that most of the jerks I met there were from Texas... :-( ). > TEXAS - OU (he got the order wrong, but what else can you expect > from an Okie?) is THE GAME! As much as it pains me to have to agree with a Texan, he's right (except for the part about the Okie...). The OU - TEXASS game is definitely *the game*. The rest of those 'games' aren't even real football... Most of those other teams could have been beaten by my high school team... Oklahoma and Texas have to be the two best states in the nation for college football (except maybe for Texas :-). > things - it's called "The Weekend", sometimes without capitals. You How about the '3 day weekend'? (longer for alot of people) I don't know about Texass, but at OU they get a 3 day weekend each year for the game. They get a day to recuperate from the festivities (and brawls) that take place in Dallas... That didn't seem to be long enough, however... > As the bumper sticker says, "OU - The best Texans money can buy". And As the tee shirt says: "Tuck Fexas". Or, "Bevo is sterile" (or gay, or is a hairdresser, or whatever...). I'm surprised Colorado lets Texans in. Kinda gives me the feeling that Colorado isn't as nice a state as I thought it was... :-) Go OU!
