Howdy Partner! It's Texas vs. Oklahoma Time (But Not Quite Yet)
You've got that itch, haven't you? The college football season feels like a distant memory, and your Saturdays are feeling a mite bit bland. Fear not, friend, for the Red River Rivalry is on the horizon, and that means Texas Longhorns vs. Oklahoma Sooners!
But Hold Your Horses...
Now, before you start digging out your burnt orange or crimson pride and prepping the grill for a day of touchdowns and trash talk, there's a slight hitch. The game isn't quite here yet.
Mark Your Calendars:
The Texas-Oklahoma showdown is slated for Saturday, October 12th, 2024. That's right, high noon sharp. Plenty of time to get those cowboy boots shined up, stock up on snacks (and maybe some adult beverages for the cooler), and practice your best "Boomer Sooner" or "Hook 'Em Horns" chant.
Why the Wait?
Well, as they say, all good things come to those who wait. And let me tell you, this is one good thing. The build-up, the anticipation, it all adds to the drama of this historic rivalry.
So, what's a college football fan to do in the meantime?
Don't fret, partner! Here's a few suggestions:
- Re-watch classic Texas-Oklahoma games: Get yourself pumped by reliving some of the greatest moments in Red River Rivalry history. There's Vince Young's legendary run in 2005, or Colt McCoy's gutsy performance in 2008.
- Brush up on your team's fight song: Nothing says "I'm ready for some football" like belting out your fight song at the top of your lungs. Those Sooners better know you mean business when you hit that high note in "Boomer Sooner!"
- Start planning your game day outfit: Whether you're rocking burnt orange or crimson, make sure your game day attire is on point. After all, you gotta look good to cheer on your team!
Get Ready for a Barn Burner!
The wait will be worth it, folks. The Cotton Bowl is going to be electric on October 12th. So saddle up, grab your friends and family, and get ready for a day of Texas-sized football!
