One of the oldest, and most anticipated match-ups in sports took place yesterday at the Cotton Bowl with the 104th showdown between the University of Texas Longhorns and the Oklahoma Sooners. This game has been a hot topic of conversation since the last meeting, a high scoring affair where Texas topped OU, 45 -35.

This year Oklahoma’s record is 3-2, while Texas is 5-0. Texas to date, however, has fallen short of fans expectations with the running game not gaining ground and the passing game lagging behind. However, Texas’ defense and special teams has saved the day in the last two games.

UT and OU - a classic match up at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. It wasn't pretty, but it was a hard-fought game.

Sorry - ANY victory of TEXAS over OU is pretty! Too bad it won’t be in the Cottonbowl next year... Jerry did it.

Coach Mack Brown was asked to comment on the game, "I thought it was more like a fight. It was tough, it was ugly."

Kinda like the Crips and the Bloods without weapons, as Rush would say. /sarcasm (for the irony impaired)

Sucks that Sam Bradford reinjured his shoulder. The game outcome could have been different if he was healthy. But, it was a great day to see Ohio State and Notre Shame lose. And it was fun to see Michigan win their cupcake win over Delaware State 63-6. Hopefully Michigan will continue the scoring bonanza over Penn State next week and stun PSU. GO BLUE! Remember this kid...Freshman Vincent Smith. He's a 5-6 Dynamo!

I was thinking the same thing. From what I understand Arkansas and A&M each received $5 million from the game they played at Jerry’s world.

OOPS! 2011 is when it’s at Jerry World. Next year is the end of the current contract. The GREAT STATE FAIR just won’t be the same...
