Awesome Moment at the end of Texas/OU

[Drew]

game ends and whole team mobs around Charlie Strong, lifts him in the air, and celebrates together. Good for them and I am 100% cheering for Charlie Strong

 

[Dooley]

Won me some money so kudos to him and the team.

I normally root against Texas but was pulling hard for them this week. Nice win.

It was the Win one for BEVO speech that did it!

My brother (UConn season ticket holder) was at the game today. His impression: unlike Northeastern fans who have divided loyalties (MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL, NCAA), Texas & OU fans are all-in for their schools. Pro sports to them is a mild diversion.

Well yeah, pro sports down there amounts to the Dallas Cowboys and a bunch of nobodies. When you have legendary franchises nearby like the Yankees, Red Sox, Giants, Bruins, Celtics, Rangers, and so on who run up to four or five generations-deep in families' rooting history, you pay attention. Can't imagine there's too many four-generation family histories with the Dallas Stars or OKC Thunder.

Correct. The Cowboys are a bigger deal here than the Giants, Jets, or Patriots are up there. But after that, pro sports doesn't have deep roots:

Rangers - 1972
Mavericks -1980
Stars - 1993
