I was listening to the Al on the Sports Animal tonight. He talked about how at his place 3/4ths of the place was rooting for Texas, and then I read on OUInsider that "97%" were going for Texas at OCConnels.
HAVE WE REACHED SOME CORNER OF HELL?????
Tell me you as an OU fan weren't rooting for Texas. I can't imagine that happening. HOW THE HELL CAN ANYONE ROOT FOR TEXAS AS A SOONER FAN?
Do you think Horns were rooting for us in the OB against USC or the year before against LSU?
HELL NO THEY WEREN'T!
You do not root for the team that's your main rival that you are recruiting against. I can gaurentee you not one Texas Aggie fan was rooting for Texas.
Just like there wasn't a single UCLA or Cal fan rooting for USC there shouldn't be a single Sooner fan rooting for Texas. There's no good reason for it. I don't care if USC was 13 games from a 60 year old streak. Or that USC has all these stuck up actors rooting for them and an entire network.
It's gonna hurt OU that Texas won. Maybe not this year because recruiting is wrapped up. But when Texas is getting Rhett Bomar's, Adrian Peterson's, Malcom Kelly's, and Tommie Harris' we'll realize how much it hurts then. We won't get many top 10 or 20 guys from Texas for a while. Not till Stoops can prove again that he can win the big game which he hasn't done the last few years.
Any Sooner in their right mind isn't rooting for Texas. I'm sure Texas fans are chuckling at it because we're basically saying, "Hey you can keep all the players in your state, we won't be too ****ed."
