Red River Rivalry

One of the oldest rivalries in college football resumes today at the Cotton Bowl outside the Texas state fair park in Dallas. Oklahoma and Texas have played 107 times since 1900. Texas leads the series 59-43 with 5 ties. However Oklahoma has won the past three including two blowout wins. The Golden Hat, a gold ten-gallon hat, goes to the winner and is kept by the athletic department till the next year. This year Texas enters the game as a heavy under dog as an underwhelming start to the season has head coach Mack Brown on the hot seat. But as we have seen from games in the past current records can be practically thrown out the window when these two teams face off.
