The game is played at the Cotton Bowl which sits on the grounds of the Texas State Fair. The Cotton Bowl has been around for quite awhile, so I went with a black and white shot of it (am I creative or what!)
I hungout and watched ESPN College Gameday for awhile before the game. Here were my 3 favorite signs that I saw:
3. "Mobile-homa...Where Cousin Eddie lives."
2. "We're not snobs, we're just better than UT."
1. "I quit my job. Obama will take care of me."
I have been to a lot a college and pro football games, but let me tell you something. I have never heard more whining, complaining, and fair-weather fans than Texas fans. It was RIDICULOUS! Examples...Oklahoma scores to make it 28-20 with 11 minutes left in the 3rd quarter. I look around and people are acting like it is 42-0. Heads in hands, people saying "Well its over" or "We lost again," and throwing stuff onto the field. This was how it was after every OU score. Then Texas would score and all is well with the fans once again. I also had two guys sitting in front of me analyzing, and I mean analyzing, every...single...play. Good Lord that got old quick. Also, if I have to see the hook'um horns hand thing one more time, I might rip someone's fingers off. I was not a fan of Texas before and I am certainly not now.
Overall...great experience, great game and I hope to go again next year. Go Hawks!
