Yep, its that time of year, the big game, the big rivalry: Texas vs. OU. This means that literally everyone that has ever lived in Oklahoma drives down the same two lanes of I-35, turning it into a parking lot of Jeeps, muddy trucks, and SUV’s with trailer attachments: all bearing shoe polish and window flags with the OU logos, and silly catch phrases.

For those of us that went to the University of North Texas during all this, we knew to get out of there FAST, or to not leave at all that weekend. Driving anywhere became impossible, even getting gas can be an issue. Like, if you are bringing your horse trailer down to the game (which, by the way, seriously?) then stopping at the two-pump Texaco might not be your best option…

I have friends from both schools, so I have never felt a pull towards a particular side of this war. I’m torn, because I like Oklahoma, but there’s the hick issue, and I really like Austin, but there’s the hippie problem. So both sides have their strengths and weaknesses. Do we have any readers here that are passionate one way or the other?
