I do wish they would remove any association of me with this barbaric display of violence

...Southwestern Bell has re-upped its $$ sponsorship of the annual Texas-Oklahoma showdown in Dallas. And it has changed the name slightly of what used to be the SBC Red River Shootout. For the next three years, the game will be called the SBC Red River Rivalry.

I think they can. I seem to remember it last year.
Oh, make me puke! Indiana and Kentucky used to play for the Bourbon Barrel. No longer. Ugh.
Unfortunately, that'll probably only be an issue for the Sooners...
Arrgh! Makes this longhorn wanna go down to Scholtz's and drown myself in Ziegenbock.
The way things are going, dont be surprised if they cease keeping track of the scores..... Cant have a loser....
Heyheyhey!! none o' THAT yet! My sooner friends are giving me enough trouble already!
'78
Probably should ban football because of the physical contact.
Good thing they changed it. Now people won't think they really are having a shoot out. (Of course attendance will probably drop when they now realize it is just a football game.)
I can't figure out why Oklahoma and Texas want to play in an old obsolete stadium in a rough part of Dallas.
Sorry...should've tagged that sarcasm. Plenty of coaches hear OUs cannon in their sleep ;)
With corporate sponsorship come the corporate PC police. Together with Miles Brand they'll we'll someday have Team A (Longhorns being offensive to vegetarians) playing Team B (Sooners being offensive to Laters) in the Natural Fiber Bowl (cotton being offensive to decendants of slaves and not inclusive of those raising sheep, goats and silkworms).
Tech fans, keep your Guns Up! That could be next.
Hmmm... I thought it was called "The Shutout", not "The Shootout".
Agreed. I've felt that since the inception of the Big12, they should just alternate between Austin and Norman every year. I feel good about the game this year, mainly because OU graduated most of their team (or rather, most of their starters have played out their eligibility). UT will definitely have to find a way to stop Adrian Peterson.
At least Ga & Fla are still playing "The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party".
Mississippi State and Ole Miss play the "Egg Bowl" every year. Surely someone, somewhere, is offended.
Okay, I'll cry "fowl"!

Oh, man I miss that place!!! Hard to find such places living in suburban Dallas area.
