Red River Rivalry 2012

I have to say, I was a bit nervous

going into the Red River Rivalry

 game this year.  Oklahoma has 

struggled this year and Texas has 

been doing rather well...

But, they pulled off a win -

A big win!  The final score was 

Oklahoma 63 - Texas 21.

Most of the points scored by

Texas were in the 4th quarter.

The Red River Rivalry

(try saying that 10 times fast)

 is my favorite game of the year.

The game has been held

at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas,

during the Texas State Fair,

since 1932.  It is a neutral location

that is about half way between OU

in Norman Oklahoma and UT in 

Austin Texas.  The Cotton Bowl

is actually on the Texas State

Fair Grounds, so you get to enjoy

a wonderful fair along with a 

fantastic football game.

Nearly 100,000 people

flock to the fairgrounds for 

this game annually.  

Our sweet family - with Big Tex in the background.
He just celebrated his 60th year.

We had a few Texans with us - friends of my brother.

I got my favorite fair food - a Fletchers Corn Dog!

The guys rode the Mouse Trap ride before the game
