I had the privilege of being in Norman a few weeks ago for the U of H vs. OU game a few weeks back and I have to say that the Sooners were by far the most cordial fans I have ever met. We received free parking after a parking attendant stated “You boys spent enough money getting here so I don’t see any reason why you should have to pay to park.” After that the tone was set as we walked to the duck pond to find the Cougar Pride tailgate and along the way we passed through the Sooner tailgate area as we were greeted with “Welcome to Oklahoma,” "Thanks for coming," and "Goodluck today" by many fans. We only had to tolerate one unruly fan during the game who the surrounding Sooners took it upon themselves to not only ask him to be quiet but apologize for his behavior. It honestly made me reflect on my own conduct at our home games and I tip my hat to the University of Oklahoma. That being said I cant bring myself to cheer against any Texas team; good luck UT.

Hey thanks, everyone loves OU!! This is my first year at OU.. my whole family went there.. it's sad.. I still have not been to a football even though I had tickets for the OU- Houston game. but yeah.. I love OU.. and Norman is a friendly town, I'm from los angeles.. so ive seen worse.. ou-texas will be my first fb game.. so im just getting pumped up! Good luck to all the schools out there.. but...still... Boomer sooner

It's unlike anything you'll ever go to.

Enjoy!

Treason! Sacrilege!

"I can no longer sit back and allow... Longhorn infiltration, Longhorn indoctrination, Longhorn subversion, and the international Longhorn conspiracy, to sap and impurify... OU's road to VICTORY!!!!" :D (with apologies to General Jack D. Ripper). :D

OU TEXAS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!


going down to Dallas tomorrow night... Catch yall down there!!!! West end!

Watch out for Dallas' Finest down in the West End... they're notorious for arresting people on suspected drunk and disorderly if you look at 'em wrong!

And the final score from The Cotton Bowl in Dallas is...

OKLAHOMA = 12

TEXAS = Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Goosegg. Bupkis. Null. Shutout.

BOOMER SOONER!!!

Bevo. It's what's for dinner at the West End tonight! :D

Only 12, Sooners? What's up with that?

Well, at least it was a good game this year! It was exciting to watch a close one.

(too bad I was on the losing end:( )

KT Snake is the man
 

Hell yeah!! Those pics have made my day as well!! You are a good man KT Snake!

You know....when you're dealing with team sports in the NCAA you must always have a winner and a loser.

Looks like the Longhorns are our losers today. HA!

12-0...let me see AlphaSig, why does that score sound familiar?

Hmm.... oh yes, the year was 1995.... OKState -12, Sooners - 0 (ZERO, NADA, GOOSE EGG, ZILCH.)

Looking forward to Bedlam. GO POKES! (It may be pathetic, but we never forget our wins against those Sooners. They're few, but increasing steadily.):)

and it even rained on the texas band....
how sad.
'spose the for sale signs are up yet?

OSUcks!:p

Just gotta be said... ;) :) :D !

Well, at least we're not obnoxious.


GO TO OU. ITS EASIER TO SPELL.:p

I dunno. Two completely different game environments.

OSU has a 40K seat stadium (it never fills up) and recently expanded to 70K.. Not sure they figured out how they're going to put butts in the seats. Up in Norman, however, the 84K stadium has been sold out since '99 and the season ticket waiting list has about 8000 people one it.

As for who is more "obnoxious"...

As a fan of the orange and black going to Norman, I'd feel fine. Perfectly safe. I wouldn't have to worry about what would happen to my car or anything like that if it had OSU stickers, etc. on it.

However, I've known many people who had their vehicles defaced, cars keyed, etc. when going to Stillwater. The people up there are classless clowns to steal a line from the A&M sports department (describing Tech) compared to those found in Norman.

I have every reason to believe that OU can absolutely destroy the Pokes. Well, I might make the trip to Stillwater (will probably have to buy some cheap OSU merchandise to leave in a conspicuous part of my car just to make sure it's not vandalized). I'm certain there'll be tickets available at the gate as usual.

Ouch, KTSnake! I truly was trying to keep this lighthearted. I never knew any classless barbarians at my alma mater. Maybe things have changed. Anyway, end of hijack.

You seriously don't know anything about OSU.

Especially when you mention the stadium being 40k its bigger than that and was even when i was there before the expansion project even started. About it being empty i think The OKlahoma Memorial Stadium would being seeing many empty seats if the team had no success for so long. So OSU is expanding cause well the program is on the rise and can filled the stadium. Sure OU has the better team and may very well win this years Bedlam but don't ever count a team out cause the series recently is pretty even or on the side of OSU. Vandalism happens everywhere so don't just put it on to OSU fans and no OU fans aren't saints i go there and can tell you we are asses to opponents like everyone else.

Last year, during Oklahoma State's best season since 1988, their average attendance was 44,872. The stadium capacity was 47,500. It is now 50,164 and will be about 52,500 or so when the current renovations are completed.

This year has been better, but not by much.

Attendance has been 46,521 vs. SMU, 47,307 vs. Tulsa, and 47,544 vs. Iowa State. That still leaves between 3-4K empty seats each time.

There's really no comparison in the type of fan support enjoyed in Norman. You can make all the excuses you want, but that's just the case.

Yeah, vandalism does happen everywhere. It just seems to be a whole lot more common up in Stillwater than Norman.

As for lacks of attendance, yeah, in 1996 and 1997, the 3-8 and 4-8 seasons, OU's attendance would drop as low as 61K. 61K is about as low as it seems to have been though according to soonerstats.com. Still, by the numbers, the lowest amount of support OU has ever had is still better than the highest a few miles north.

Anyhow, that being said, the series is even over the last 10 years. 5-5 in fact. The series history is 75-16-7 though :D

I actually look for it to be a decent game. But after this weekend watching the Sooners completely shut down Texas' attack which is basically a more talented version of what OSU has, I'm positive as to the outcome of this game barring any major fluke.

(Hijack continued...) Yes, OSU (my beloved alma mater) SUCKED against Texas A & M, but, yes, it was sold out!

Yes, congrats on the sellout ;)

Now if State could get a QB that could pass. Then we'd be talking:D Maybe Reid's shoulder will heal up soon?

I'm being a bit negative about OSU. I really do like the place. Our chapter up at Stillwater has been very gracious and helpful to us in our early days and I'm proud of what they've accomplished there.
