What do you want to bet that neither participant ever attended UT or OU?

I can't speak as to the Sooner, but if the t-sip was drinking a wine cooler, he probably attended t.u.

These losers did not even attend the colleges that they were supporting. If you didn’t go to school there, you have no business wearing their stuff.

I live in TN now and it amazes me that people can go to a school like Tn Tech, or Austin Peay, and yet their sports loyalties lie with UT. Of course you have the multitudes of 8th grade dropouts sporting their UT gear as well.

A couple of years ago when A&M played UT (Tenn) in a bowl game, my inlaws kept calling to razz me that Tenn was winning. I'm thinking "that means so much from a bunch of hicks who couldn't find the campus if their lives depended on it.

In Texas there are only two sports: football and Spring football.

The last few TX-OU games I went to, previous to about nine years ago, we always went to the West End. This was a few years after the notorious shootings and the cops were thick and we saw no violence at all. Just a bunch of drunk happy fans.

We lived in Mesquite until I was nine years old, and I remember one time when my grandparents visited from Oklahoma. They had a new car and we went for a ride during TX-OU weekend. Downtown Dallas, we had a ton of beer bottles and other trash thrown at the car because of the OK plates.

Yeah...it was unconscionable for a UTerus fan to get so pissed about bar insults that he had to go over and attack an old man. Please note that the Texas drunk guy was in his 20’s and the OU drunk guy was in his 50’s. Young guy thought he could whip the old man’s ass...Young guy gets old man in a headlock. Old man grabs agroboy’s sack and squeezes.

Do you have a link for any of this?

Yeah, yeah - it's all a "good-natured" rivalry until someone's eye...wait a minute...

This is just nuts.

Utter nonsense. Even it held a shred of truth, it’s without relevance. Wearing a shirt shouldn’t get you attacked. This is what we usually think of as being gang behavior. Not sports fans.

It obviously meant enough that it got under your skin. I don't get it. I don't get sports fans in general. I just can't see how anyone could possibly be emotionally died to the winner or loser of a game they're not personally playing.

“I can’t speak as to the Sooner, but if the t-sip was drinking a wine cooler, he probably attended t.u.”

I’ve never understood why (presumably)otherwise normal adults get so caught up in a rivalry that they say such stupid things. You don’t know me and I don’t know you but that is an idiotic, juvenile statement.

Okay, I get that the Sooners and ‘Horns don’t like each other, but you just can’t have people trying to pull the other team’s fans’ privates off. That’s unacceptable.

one of them is to walk into a bar wearing a Texas Longhorns T-shirt

That would never happen here in Michigan. Even U of M fans are now wearing MSU shirts.......

"Self defense in my book. If a guy can’t take ribbing while wearing Texas garb in the middle of Oklahoma, he shouldn’t be out in public."

Admitting my bias up front, I say you have a point until the guy tears 'em off. The one fight in my life that I won (in 1973) was when a guy got me in a headlock - I managed to take care of myself without maiming anyone for life.

The old dude sounds like a lifelong loser too.

BTW, (Carville voice) this heah's all old news! This all happened back even before the season started! /s
