OU vs. Texas Buzz

It's that time again Sooner fans. The first week of October. Time for that extravaganza known as The Red River Rivalry. Obviously the luster has been lost on this one since both teams lost this past weekend. However, the game is still important, even more so this year. OU and Texas are fighting to stay afloat in the Big 12 South.


MACK BROWN WON'T OUT-COACH
BOB STOOPS THIS YEAR

The Sooners have more to play for. We all knew Texas was going to fall apart at some point this year. Not so much for the Sooners. This OU team looked unbeatable until last weekend. Stoops, the coaching staff, and the players need to prove that the CU game was a fluke. A big win in Dallas could do just that. Also, the Sooners are playing a revenge game. A three-year losing streak in the Cotton Bowl won't fly. OU needs a win, if not a blowout win, to remove the sour taste from the last two years.


BOB STOOPS DOESN'T HAVE TO FIRE
UP THE TROOPS THIS WEEK--ITS OU/TEXAS!

The analysts say the loser of this game is basically done for the year, and I agree. Two losses before mid-October is disastrous for any would-be contender. There is a BCS game, a Big 12 Championship bid, and national respect on the line Saturday. It must be the first week of October.
