I been a thinkin( I know, skeery thot)

[olevetonahill]

But If my recollectin is right , Isn't the reason the TeeVee peeps went to calling the Saxet game the Red River Rivalry . because the Red River War , or the Red River Shootout sounded to violent er some silly **** like that ?:confused:

If that be the case , How come whyfore can they call that puny little ole game up there in the North west between them ducks and beavers " THE CIVIL WAR" :mad:

[OUinFLA]

cause they're nerds

[olevetonahill]

cause they're nerds

[NormanPride]

Because nobody cares/watches that game.

And because libruls only care about PC crap when it's not in their own backyard!

[olevetonahill]

did any one here watch that game ?
I know I didnt and dint really GAS who won .

[Collier11]

oregon st is traditionally like osu, thats why not a ton of people nationally care about the OU-osu game

[Mad Dog Madsen]

Prolly because of OU. Everybody hates OU...

[Flagstaffsooner]

It was done at the request of the sponsor, ATT.

[BoulderSooner79]

Because their game isn't a violent, it's civil-ized.

(skeery when I think too)

[olevetonahill]

It was done at the request of the sponsor, ATT.

Ahhh....the uber corporation ATT (obviously a bastion of liberal bastages).

I wonder if it has netted them more cell customers, being so non-offensive;)

Oh, and yes they did change it from "Shootout" to "Rivalry" because they said "Shootout was no longer "PC".

[OUstud]

Red River Rivalry is ghey ghey ghey. And a tongue-twister. Go back to Shootout! That even had the OU and Texas logos within the name, which was awesome.

[MamaMia]

I do try to keep the simpletons running in circles :D

Me too, which is precisely why I still call the Gaylord Family Memorial Stadium just plain ole Owen Field, and I still refer to the OU/UT game as the "The Red River Shootout". :D

We should start a petition. :pop:

[Wishboned]

In 2005 it was sponsored by SBC Communications, and the game was officially renamed the SBC Red River Rivalry, with the word "Rivalry" replacing "Shootout" out of a desire not to convey an attitude of condoning gun violence.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_River_Rivalry

I think they need to rename it the Red River *** Whoopin'.

[SpankyNek]

Out of curiosity.

Who on this board predates Oklahoma Memorial Stadium?

[KantoSooner]

moi

[SpankyNek]

It's pretty awesome to have posters that are older than 85 on the board!

[MamaMia]

Out of curiosity.

Who on this board predates Oklahoma Memorial Stadium? Me, even though you cant tell by lookin'. ;) I even remember when all the Sooner fans I knew, and I went to school at OU and knew many, were all polite. :)

[SoonerLB]

Ducks and Beavers?
Should have called it a 'pond sqabble'! :D

[Soonerman82]

It was done at the request of the sponsor, ATT.

This, It could also be that Dr Pepper also owned the rights to Red River ShootOUt. I always call it Red River War.

[agoo758]

I think the more important question is why is a football game between two northwest schools in an area where there were no battles during the civil war the civil war?

[Sooner_Tuf]

I understand in quest to be representative of fact that the OU/OSU game will no longer be called Bedlam. In the future it will called AAK! (Annual A$$ KICKING)
