As I start the drive down I-35 to
the city of the moment, Dallas, TX for OU/TX weekend I can’t help but think
about the gravity of this weekend and how much both teams/fans prepare for the
next few days. Coming from Texas myself I am well aware of the traditions that
go on from the UT side. Texas prides itself on the preparation of this weekend
and the customs but I personally enjoy celebrating with the Sooners more!
1. OU
doesn’t chain link to a date all weekend: The Greek life at the University of Texas
has the long lasting tradition in which a boy asks a girl to OU/TX weekend and
they are stuck as dates the whole weekend. That’s a long time especially since
it’s almost required that the dates get a hotel room together. So if your date
turns out to be a scoob, your weekend might be an interesting maze of escape
routes! OU’s Greek life throws just one
2. Hotel
rooms > staying at someone’s parents house: What’s better than cramming 14
of your best friends in a really nice hotel room and having a weekend long
hotel party? Free breakfast, everything gets cleaned up and all of your friends
are just a room away. All the OU fans congregate in the same hotel and the
spirit is contagious as everyone yells Boomer Sooner all the time!
3. OU
Always Goes for the Win: Texas fans pride themselves on banking on a victory
every year and don’t get near into the spirit as much as OU. But, OU gets
pumped up the whole week before and still manages to pull the win a good
majority of the time! OU fans get show their spirit more!
