Texas-OU Week

[44Bobcats55]

Probably my favorite pic of my son. What a day. The cannon is operated by the Texas Cowboys. They are a service fraternity that Jake was a member of. This was after the game in 2014.

Great pic!

LOL. What a day.

This one is definitely up there for me. Too many to pick just one.

Those four years were my introduction to the rivalry.

One of the most gratifying feelings in sports fandom is watching the OU side of the Cotton Bowl file out early while getting that ass spanked. I'm sure Sooner fans agree with the sentiment when it's reversed.

 

[MortgageHorn]

Over rated!!!

Your movie career - that's what's overrated!

OU-Texas

Red River Shootout at the Cotton Bowl

The greatest sporting event in the world.

Two hundred fifty thousand fans at the state fair and 100,000 in the stadium, split down the middle, half Crimson, half burnt orange.

No other game has featured as many contests between ranked teams.

No other game has featured so many all-Americans, Award Winners, and Champions.

This is where legends are made and broken.

On Saturday, we will show the SEC what big-time college football is like. Get your popcorn ready.

We Run This Shit Before We Even Joined the SEC

Red River Shootout - We'll Show You How It's Done!

Texas Longhorns' Record vs. SEC Football Opponents All-Time​

Alabama Crimson Tide​

Texas leads 8-2-1. Quinn Ewers led the Longhorns to a statement win over the Tide on the road last season and overall they run this series, with the exceptions being Bama's win in the 2010 BCS National Championship and a 1-point victory in Austin in 2022.

Arkansas Razorbacks​

Texas leads 56-23. These Southwest Conference border rivals have met since 1894 right up until 1991 when the Hogs joined the SEC. And since then, Arkansas owns the series, 4-2, including a home win against No. 15 Texas in 2021.

Auburn Tigers​

Texas leads 5-3. Auburn has taken the last two against the Longhorns in 1987 and 1991, and the Tigers own a 27-3 win the 1974 Gator Bowl. These schools first met in 1910.

Florida Gators​

Texas leads 2-0-1. All three of these games predate World War II, with the Longhorns winning a home-and-home in 1939 and 1940, and the schools played a 7-7 tie in 1924.

Georgia Bulldogs​

Texas leads 4-1. Georgia's only win in this series came by a single point in the 1984 Cotton Bowl before the teams met again, the Longhorns' 28-21 result in the 2019 Sugar Bowl. These schools will reunite this fall on the Forty Acres in one of the SEC's marquee matchups.

Kentucky Wildcats​

Texas leads 1-0. One game, and one point tilted this series in the Longhorns' favor, when they beat the Wildcats at home early in the 1951 season, 7-6.

LSU Tigers​

Texas leads 9-8-1. Joe Burrow's 45-38 victory in Austin back in 2019 was their most recent matchup, but this series dates back to 1896, although they didn't meet from 1963 until 2003, with both of those dates being a split in Cotton Bowl appearances.

Mississippi State Bulldogs​

Tied 2-2. These schools met three times in the 1990s, most recently in the 1999 Cotton Bowl, a Texas victory. It all started in 1921, when the Longhorns won a 54-7 decision at home.

Missouri Tigers​

Texas leads 18-6. Mizzou shared the Big 12 with Texas from 1996 to 2011, when it left for the SEC, and it was that final year when the Tigers upset a ranked Longhorns team at home, 17-5. Texas won the most recent meeting, 33-16, in the Texas Bowl.

Ole Miss Rebels​

Texas leads 6-1. Ole Miss owns the most recent game in this series, a 44-23 win at Austin in 2013, payback for the previous year, when the Longhorns smashed the Rebs in Oxford, 66-31.

South Carolina Gamecocks​

South Carolina leads 1-0. One of just two SEC series in which the Longhorns trail, their only meeting was a 27-21 victory for the Gamecocks in Austin in 1957, Darrell Royal's first season as head coach.

Tennessee Volunteers​

Texas leads 2-1. These two UT's split Cotton Bowls in 1951 (a win for the Vols) and 1953 (one for the Longhorns), but Burnt Orange got out in front with a victory over Big Orange in the 1969 Cotton Bowl.

Texas A&M Aggies​

Texas leads 76-37-5. This ferocious in-state rivalry will be renewed when the Longhorns join the conference after more than a decade off, when A&M first left for the SEC. The schools split their last six meetings in a series that dates to 1894, but Texas pulled out the 27-25 win in the most recent matchup, in 2011 when Justin Tucker's field goal went through as time expired.

Vanderbilt Commodores​

Vanderbilt leads 8-3-1. Yes, Vandy is the only other SEC team to own the series against Texas, although it's been a while: the schools' last meeting came in 1928, a 1-point Dores win.

If we’re being honest, the world’s largest outdoor pillow fight is probably a notch or two below Army-Navy in terms of national historical relevance.
