AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas-OU week has finally arrived.
Crank up the deep fryers at the State Fair and turn up the
volume on "Boomer Sooner!" and "Texas Fight!" The Texas
Longhorns can finally start talking about the showdown with No. 1
Oklahoma.
No more of this taking the season "one game at a time" stuff.
Texas-OU is THE game and up next with the Big 12 and national title
chases in the balance when the teams meet.
It will certainly be a change from last season when No. 5 Texas
(5-0, 1-0) and Oklahoma (5-0, 1-0) both lost the week before their
annual rivalry, deflating the build-up to the game.
The two rivals face off Saturday at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas
amid the sights and sounds of the State Fair of Texas.
