Texas/OU Weekend

1958 Texas-OU: “Turning It Into a Bloodletting Again.”

It’s Texas-OU Week. To fully understand the passion this brings to both sides, you have to understand the history involved. I thought I would put up a few posts on what are for me, some of the most significant games of this rivalry.
Begining with the game that happened 50 years ago. Texas had a great […]

Texas/CU Football Post-Mortem

10 Thoughts On The Oklahoma Loss

1. Greg Davis called a B+ game today. We still don’t show much imagination in the passing game, but the playcalls were good enough to win. Receivers were open enough, and we adjusted after we couldn’t run up the middle on normal zone plays. I would’ve called more counters, and naturally, JerMichael Finely was nowhere […]

Scipio Tex’s Texas OU Weekend Travelogue

We’ve had a number of requests for Scipio’s old Texas/OU weekend travelogue. Enjoy.
===========================================

1. Secure a date. You must be discriminating. She can make or break your weekend. The attributes you seek are physical attractiveness, coolness and a general willingness to have multiple depravities visited upon her in a La Quinta hotel somewhere off of […]
