It's the eve of the big game and how I wish I was in Dallas this weekend! They call it the Red River Rivalry now, but when I was in college, it was just the Texas-OU game, possibly the Red River Shootout. (Gotta love that branding by AT&T.) For four years in a row, I traveled to Dallas like a good Longhorn to partake in the annual tradition of the State Fair of Texas and football in the Cotton Bowl. Corn dogs, the UT Band, butter sculptures, obnoxious fans of the rival team. Good times. The Horns beat OU every year I was at UT. Even more significantly, they lost the year before I arrived in Austin and the year after I graduated and moved away for graduate school. Clearly, I brought them good luck. Probably because I bought a new Texas-OU t-shirt every year before the game! I loved those t-shirts and wish I still had at least one of them for memories' sake.
In honor of this immense rivalry and in appreciation for the few things
in life that should never change, I pulled up these "good luck" t-shirts
from
Beyond Graduation, my go-to shop for
all things Longhorn:
It's 10:45 pm . . . and OU still sucks! GO HORNS!
