The sports bar I'll be at can't even sell beer until after halftime. Good work.

UT SUCKS!!!!!!

[SOONER STEAKER]

Nothing better than watching an 11:00 game in the damn heat with a hangover from the night before. Maybe this year I won't start drinking till 6am on saturday which would be just 5 hrs before the game.

I hate texas!!

I was going to go to Vegas for the weekend, I guess I just could pull an all night of winning at blackjack to a day of winning college football.

[bluedogok]

There should be a law against that, let the Big 10 and places in the eastern time zone have those stupid morning games.

Probably because NU sucks!

It'll probably get picked up by Fox Sorts Net.

Why is this news and why does everyone bitch about it every single year? Has there ever been a night game for OU/TX? Somehow through all these years people still have managed to make this the most celebrated and exciting rivalry in sports. IOW... not. that. big. a. deal.

[soonerfan28]

No respect.

[sooneron]

That game should be played at 2:30 PM . period

OU/NU shoud be played Thanksgiving weekend . period. every ****ing year . period

No but a 2:30 kickoff is a lot more convenient for everyone...besides the players and coaches.

[JLEW1818]

I agree Morning games suck. But I'm just going to have to suck it up and be a sooner!

[JLEW1818]

Can some computer/sooner freak please pull up the last 10 years of the red river shootout and give me that wins and losses for 11 A.M. games and 2:30 games for each team ??? please .. thanks.

[ouflak]
