ESPN begins their pimping of USC on “College Football Live” beginning at 330 EST today. Footbaw is nearly upon us…

I remember my mom telling me how she moved to Dallas when she was 21. As she was heading to her new apartment, she starts seeing people boarding up windows. She stopped and asked a lady at a convenience store if a hurricane was coming and she missed the news. The lady replied," Oh hell no honey. It just a bunch of damn Oklahoma fans."

I guess CFB Live is being targeted to stay at home moms and the unemployed. Thank Zod for TiVO.

The last Texas-Oklahoma game I went to was in 1998. Good times…pre-dope fiend Ricky Williams running wild, thousands of disappointed Oklahomans, and one barely-averted brawl with the OU band who grew tired of our taunts from the stands.
It’s too bad that this game has to be played at the Cotton Bowl, which is located in one of the worst sections of Dallas close to an area we lovingly referred to as “Liquor Store Land”.

I guess we’ll all have to tevo that shit at 3:30 to get our first dose of ESPN USC & Notre Dame Felacio.
That area in the crowd where the burn orange meets the red is a vicious place in-game. Lots of across the row shit talking

Come on guys, it shall forever be known as the Red River Shootout. I’m sure that most Florida and Georgia fans bristled at the dropping of “The World’s Largest…” tag, that is the way that most Texas and Oklahoma fans feel as well I’d like to think.

Hook’Em, you can’t hate the fellatio if you don’t know how to spell it.
Hey, you guys jsut won another MNC since the posting of this thread! Roll tide!

I, for one, love the Texas/OU game being at the Cotton Bowl. It just feels so right. Sure the place is falling apart, and is in a bad part of town, but this is THE Cotton Bowl. Formerly one of the best bowls to play in (still don’t know how it get left out of the initial BCS, or did not get included after the expansion to 5 …..probably the aforementioned delapidation and geography).
Not a bad seat in that place, except for the commodes that don’t work, split down the middle burnt orange, and crimson, at the fair…come on…you know you love it.

Woody, you can’t criticize someone on the spelling of fellatio and then fumble the ball on the word just.

I love having the game at the Cotton Bowl. It’s just the way it’s supposed to be. How can you not love it when half the stadium is in burnt orange and the other half is good looking.

#10, the Cotton Bowl game lost a lot of its meaning when the old Southwest Conference self-destructed. The Fiesta Bowl had better weather and better marketing, too. Dallas at the end of year is such a crapshoot. It can be glorious, crisp, and 50 degrees with sunshine, or grey, miserable and 35, with sleet.
But I must have missed something: I was under the impression that the UT-OU game was now called the Dr. Pepper-AT&T-PF Chang’s-Chico’s Bail Bonds Red River TV Extravaganza.

as a dallas resident, that is about the nicest possible way to refer to that part of town. it makes parking at legion field sound like a good idea.

@12 – That’s cute, Heath. I’m sure there’s someone from Arkansas that thinks it’s plausible that Sooner fans could be considered “good looking” in comparison to Longhorn fans. The rest of us are wondering what life is like for you as a blind man in Oklahoma…

“Pre-dope fiend Ricky Williams” in 1998?
You think he WASN’T smoking pot when he lived in AUSTIN????

West 512, the difference between merely doping and fiending is the ability to hold down a job at one’s chosen craft. RW kept it under the radar at UT, or the coaches looked the other way, which one tends to do in the presence of genius. Unfortunately, that’s not how the NFL rolls.

Is the red river shoot out the same thing as the country music awards? If it is, then it is on tonight.

- it can’t be the corn dog bowl because LSU is not playing.
I’m sure ol’ Jerry Jones is just gonna let em play it there instead of at his bran new bazillion dollah megaplex. let’s see, hmmmm, 95000 x $50 = 4.75 MM + boxes, etc.
adios dallas. hello arlington.

I love that a painting of Adrian Peterson with a plaid background is mixed with paintings of the richest areas of Manhattan.
by John on Jul 23, 2007 3:58 PM EDT reply actions
- while I will say that I love painting Manhattan, every now and then those windows, and there are a cornucopia of windows, make my head want to explode. To keep on topic with the theme of the original post, 65-13…and I don’t care if that was four years ago. That’s enough points to erase all memories of the love child of Matthew McConaughey and Billy D. Williams/aka Vince Young. Long live The Major Chrissy Applesims. This year’s should be fun, a three headed quarterback of mass mediocrity vs. the junior version of football’s most talented and least productive pass defense.

See, this is why Dallas banned the whole Friday night Commerce Street Shit-Talking Exposition & Drunkfest. Rapier-witted Longhorn fans dealt devastating attaques au fer, causing immediate evacuations of okie bladders; soaking-panted okies would then seek assistance from the local PD, which was quickly forthcoming at the business end of a truncheon; the locust-like plague of uninsured okies descending on Parkland on that one evening was threatening the county with insolvency.

Just because words are in the dictionary doesn’t mean you should try to use all of them, KongHorn.
