The dawn of a new era is upon us. The 2024 College Football Season begins this weekend and the Sooners have a whole new crew of dragons to slay.
Rocky Top, Auburn, South Carolina, Ole Miss in the Grove, Mizzou, Bama and even LSU in Death Valley.
And while that’s a much steeper hill climb than Iowa State, Taco Tech and Little Brother, there’s always Texas.
The hated horns. The tea-sippers decked out in their burnt orange on the 40 acres, 200 miles south of the Red.
October and fall temps are around the corner. It’s The Texas State Fair. The Red River Shootout. The SEC.
Every year since 1929, the Cotton Bowl in Dallas has been split in half. North Side, Texas. South Side, OU. Our world’s collide and time stands still.
The Sooners are 17-8 in the series since Y2K – one of those being a win in the Big XII Championship Game at Jerry World in 2018.
In the last 24 years, Oklahoma has scored 50 or more points six times including wins of 63-14, 65-10, 55-17 and 63-21.
Possibly even more heartbreaking for Texas fans, the Sooners have pulled out come-from-behind, last second and even OT wins. In the last 15 games, the Sooners are 11-4 with 9 of those victories coming in one-score games. Last year’s dramatic 34-30 last second, come-from-behind victory was particularly painful for those in burnt orange.
So with the season afoot, it’s time to plan your trip to Dallas. It’s time to get UGLY. It’s time to show the SEC what this storied weekend is all about.
