As for me and My house....we don't root for Texas

You thought I wasn't going to post in time, didn't you? Well I still have an hour to spare this beautiful November 5th...

I'll leave you with one short story and a "thrilling" video below.

John and his friend Andrew went to the OU/A&M game on Saturday night (don't get me started about how I was cleaning instead of tailgating). Anyway...he calls me long before the game starts and begins telling me about how Texas is giving him heartburn because they're about to lose the game at OSU.

Well, first of all they didn't lose. But my REAL concern was that John was rooting for Texas. Rooting. For. TEXAS. I do not care the reasoning behind this sudden change in position....no self-respecting OU fan EVER roots for Texas. Period.

Pam, back me up on this...

Anyway, I pointed out the error of this colossal mistake and I hope he learned his lesson. Yes, Texas winning makes us look that much better for beating them (and adds style points to the BCS). Yes, OSU is incredibly annoying this year (except for the Mike Gundy tirade which I thought was hilarious). Yes, it's two big rivals and you have to choose a battle. Yes, we already beat Texas and haven't beaten OSU this year. Yes, Matthew McConaughey is a hot Texas fan. I don't care. In THIS house we do not root for Texas.

Shout out to Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, fellow CofCer...guess I can't hate Texas but I can stand strong in not wanting them to win...

So, there is your story for the day. Crazy Sooner fan on the loose!

I got your back, Jess. No self-respecting Sooner fan ever gets heartburn when Texas is losing a game. No matter what. Period. It's the natural order of things.

I guess (by deductive reasoning) that if aren't rooting for Texas, you ARE rooting for OSU. This is dangerous philosophical ground for a Sooner. Beware Thanksgiving weekend... :P

It's really what separates the men from the boys as far as Sooner fans.

"Texas is playing for the national championship. Aren't you going to root for the Big 12?"

DIE, TEXAS.
