Is this really only the second time that we are ranked number 1 going into the Texas - ou game?

1964 ... and then ?

Definitely not. One of the most memorable games ever - 1984 #1 Texas vs #3 Oklahoma, 15-15 tie in the rain.

Well fuck me.  You are correct.

I would have thought that 1970 and 2009 would have been on that list ... but...  NOOOOOOO

I've probably watched this 10 times. I love Quinn looking around the stadium like "holy fucking shit". 

Quinn has been to another college football cornerstone rivalry game in Ohio State-Michigan and even then the Red River Shootout made him take it all in

I was 10 and was at that game. We rode the Texas exes bus up with the olds. I drew the 5-5 square for $100 jackpot final score. Fuck me silly ain’t no one winning the 5-5 score. Geez. Took that $100 and put it on Walmart stock. Paid for a semester of tuition about 10 years later. Shoulda left it there. 

that was back when the fair was really a carnie and they had the row of freaks they would call them.  It was raining so all the rides were closed. So we did freak row. I was too afraid to see the fattest man in the world but the shortest bearded lady was harmless so I thought. My world was rocked when I walked into that trailer and saw what I swear to god was a 2.5 foot old lady with a rip van winkle beard and I swear to god it was real.  Fuck I started crying, the world was all kinds of fucked up. 

I’ll never forget that game.

By the time i got to the rrs they didnt have human freaks but they did have animal oddities. I got to see the worlds tiniest horse and the two headed turtle my first ou game.

I actually did my first RRS. It was fucking awesome, I was wearing burnt orange in a sea of Crimson while Vince Young fucked them straight up and down all day long. Snuck in a flask as one was to do back then and got hammered. Ate corny dogs and fried snickers til I puked outside. It fucking ruled.
