Should've done a poll :)

The Red River Rivalry was also dumb. Red River Shootout was discontinued after 12-0 in 2004 (and 65-13 in 2003, 35-24 in 2002, 14-3 in 2001 and 63-14 in 2000). Coincidence???

I think all of the names past and present have carried too many violent connotations. They need to call it the Red River Snuggle.

I think our SBC Cotton Bowl vs Arky in 2001 (technically 2002) was one of the final stands for SBC, so yeah awhile

How about the "Red River Nobody Gives a Crap About the Corp. Name" game. Was this a Texas idea and OU just followed along? I'm sure at&t went to Texas first since they still run the conference.
